Features
In Scandinavia, the name Kanken needs no explanation. For over 30 years, Kanken backpacks have graced the backs of Scandinavian schoolchildren. In recent years, these bags have become a worldwide fashion statements. The Kanken bag was initially developed to redistribute the load from school books to both shoulders in order to eliminate back pain. Older people, many of whom used canes, were also attracted to the bag because it freed the hands of the wearer.
With its lightweight, durable, and water resistant qualities, the Vinylon F fabric used to make a Kanken pack is the synthetic material of choice. It is offered in a rainbow of colors in bags that range from small to very large and feature multiple storage areas. The laptop bag features a padded compartment for a 15-inch or smaller laptop. A laptop measuring 17 inches can be stored in the padded compartment of the big bag.
