Fjallraven Kanken Mini Daypack Polyester Backpack - Graphite

I spent a while weighing up whether or not the Kånken Mini would be worth it, and eventually decided that it would be. I was right. It's the perfect size for a day bag: you can fit a book, bottle of water (I've got a 500ml Chilly's bottle [also recommended] to go in there, but have also fit a 750ml plastic water bottle in there), medicine/make-up bag, notebook, snacks, phone charger...pretty much everything you'd need for a day out. The fact that it's a rucksack means it's kinder on one's back than a satchel or handbag; in fact, this and the Herschel I've got for work have made a significant difference in this regard. The straps take a bit of working out, and I think they might dig in if they were too tight, you had lots of heavy stuff in the bag, and/or you were wearing a vest or tank-top, but I don't think it's a big enough problem every day to make the Kånken not worth it - especially as you can't really fit lots of heavy stuff in the Mini! You can get padded straps from Fjällräven for some bags, so that's something to consider if you were concerned. The Mini has a few sections: a small one on the front, at the bottom, which is good for (surprisingly) small things, such as keys; the main compartment, which has a separate pocket at the back and features a light bit of polystyrene (?) - quite thin and almost long as the bag, this seems to help the bag keep shape, but is, apparently, for you to use as a makeshift cushion if you find yourself needing one when out and about; and two pockets on either side of the bag, which are, irritatingly, not big enough to hold water, but can contain something like a phone/iPod or card wallet (if you're sure you're not near pickpockets!). I haven't tested the bag in the rain yet, but the material seems relatively hardy and durable... Fjällräven/Amazon say it's made of 'Vinylon F, a highly durable, abrasion and water resistant fabric that softens with age and washes and becomes increasingly robust as the fibers in the fabric tighten from use', so maybe it is waterproof! I'd still carry valuables/electrical things in a waterproof case/bag, though.. There's no aeration system, so it's been pretty warm and a little sweaty in the hot weather as it sits against the bag; the best way to deal with this is to put a cold compress (acquired from somewhere like Boots and kept in the freezer) in the back pocket/section...it's delightful while it lasts, though it doesn't last for as long as you'd like it to, alas! The colour is obviously a matter of preference, but I think the Kånken runs a bit lighter in the flesh/material than in photos; I got the granite and find it a lighter grey than it looks on Amazon/the Fjällräven website. It's fine, but I wouldn't have picked it, if that makes sense. In short: get one of these! It's useful, practical and good for your back.

Carino, piccolo ma allo stesso tempo capiente, con tante taschine comode. Comoda zip che apre quasi del tutto lo zaino, se serve.

I love these backpacks ( I now own six of them in different colours!) The mini is the size of a medium handbag and therefore ideal for work as I can comfortably fit in an umbrella, purse, glasses, make up bag, I pad, phone etc and still have room for a flask. It's really comfortable to carry on the shoulder and the dual handles make accessing the inside really easy. Highly recommend. Watch out for fakes though, I received one a few weeks ago and returned it pronto.

Bonne qualité! J’apprécie!

ich habe lange mit mir gerungen mir einen Kanken zu bestellen weil der Preis ja doch recht gepfeffert ist .... aber ich habe ihn oft bei anderen Leuten gesehen und er gefällt mir optisch einfach super gut. Also bestellt - am nächsten Tag bekommen und sofort gefallen. Trotz der recht geringen Größe passt ne Menge rein. Verarbeitung sehr gut. An die tägliche Handhabe muss ich mich noch etwas gewöhnen (meine vorherige Handtasche hatte 6 unterschiedliche Fächer wo alles seinen Platz und seine Ordnung hatte - beim Kanken hat man das kleine Fach vorn für Kleinkrams ..... der Rest kullert so drinnen rum. in die kleinen Seitentaschen außen passt z.B. ne Tempo-Packung und Schlüssel .... die Farben gefallen mir sehr gut - ich hatte mir einen blauen und graphit bestellt und die Entscheidung welcher bleibt und welcher zurück geht fiel mir sehr schwer .... wären sie nicht so teuer hätte ich auch gerne Beide behalten .... also von mir Kaufempfehlung. Allerdings einen Stern Abzug weil die Gurte nicht gepolstert sind. Man kann Gurtpolster separat kaufen - die sind auch nicht billig und könnten beim Preis vom Rucksack eigentlich mit dabei sein ..... Noch ein Nachsatz : die Farbe stimmt - in meinem Falle - nicht mit der Abbildung überein .... hatte mir graphite bestellt aber in echt sieht er aus wie der graue .... aber ich behalt ihn trotzdem .... Nach einem Jahr noch ein Nachsatz .... ich bin immer noch glücklich mit meinem Kleinen ... Farbe nach 1 Jahr nach fast täglichem Gebrauch kaum ausgeblichen, nur ganz leichte Gebrauchsspuren, leicht zu reinigen, die Reißverschlüsse laufen immer noch einwandfrei ohne zu hakeln o.ä. Super Produkt von hoher Qualität. Von der Größe für mich gut, es passt alles rein was "frau" so täglich braucht (0,5 l Trinkflasche, Geldbörse, Tempos, kleines Täschchen mit Labello, Nagelfeile u.ä.). Ich werde mir noch einen kaufen - kann mich nur nicht entscheiden welche Farbe - es gibt so viele schöne ;-)
