FAQs
What does the 'Animal' pattern mean for each backpack?
The 'Animal' pattern means that the placement of the shapes, patterns, and colors inspired by the animal kingdom will vary on each individual backpack. This results in a unique appearance for every bag.
Is this backpack suitable for carrying a laptop?
The backpack has a main compartment that can accommodate most laptops up to 15 inches, depending on the exact dimensions. However, it does not have a dedicated padded laptop sleeve, so a separate protective sleeve is recommended for added security.
How do I clean the backpack?
Clean the backpack using a soft brush and cold water. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and cold water. Always air dry and avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
What is the G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco S material?
It's a highly durable and water-resistant fabric made from a blend of recycled polyester and organic cotton. It's designed to withstand tough conditions and can be re-waxed for increased water repellency.
Does the purchase support environmental causes?
Yes, the Kånken Graphics collection is part of Fjällräven’s Arctic Fox Initiative, where a proportion of sales contributes to environmental and climate projects.
Can the shoulder straps be removed?
The shoulder straps are adjustable and attached to the backpack; they are not designed to be removed.
What is the capacity of the backpack?
The backpack has a capacity of 16 liters.
Troubleshooting
Backpack zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear of obstructions. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth to loosen it.
Discoloration or fading of the fabric.
The G-1000 fabric is designed to age gracefully, but excessive sun exposure can cause fading. Store the backpack away from direct sunlight when not in use. Minor fading is normal for this material.
Water is seeping through the fabric in heavy rain.
The G-1000 material is water-resistant, not waterproof. For enhanced protection, apply Fjällräven's Greenland Wax according to the product instructions. Reapply periodically, especially after washing.
Strap adjustment is difficult.
Ensure the webbing is not twisted. Pull the adjuster tab firmly while guiding the strap webbing to achieve the desired length.
