Full details
The Fjällräven Kånken Re-Wool Laptop 15" backpack is designed for adults seeking a durable and eco-conscious way to carry their essentials, including a laptop up to 15 inches. Its key benefit is the use of recycled wool Melton fabric, offering a unique aesthetic and reduced environmental impact.

FAQs
What is G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco S material?
G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco S is a highly durable fabric made from a blend of recycled polyester and organic cotton, treated with Greenland Wax for enhanced wind and water resistance. It is used here for reinforcement.
Can I put my 15.6-inch laptop in this backpack?
The backpack is designed for laptops up to 15 inches (38.1 cm). A 15.6-inch laptop might be too large or fit very snugly, potentially causing stress on the padding and zipper.
How do I clean the backpack if it gets dirty?
It is recommended to hand wash the backpack in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying. Allow it to air dry completely.
Is the backpack waterproof?
The recycled wool and G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco S offer some water resistance, especially if treated with Greenland Wax. However, it is not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may still lead to moisture penetration.
What is the volume capacity of the backpack?
The backpack has a volume of approximately 15 Liters, not including the laptop compartment, which adds to its overall carrying capacity.
Does it have a chest strap or hip belt?
This specific model features padded shoulder straps and fabric handles, but it does not come with a chest strap or hip belt.
Can I re-wax the wool part of the backpack?
It is not recommended to wax the recycled wool Melton fabric. Waxing is primarily intended for the G-1000 fabric components to enhance their water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Backpack feels stiff or abrasive.
This is normal for Melton wool. With use, the fabric will soften. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can damage the fibers.
Laptop does not fit in the compartment.
Ensure your laptop is 15 inches or smaller. Measure your device's diagonal screen size to confirm. Note that some laptops with bulky cases may also present fit challenges.
Minor stains on the wool fabric.
For fresh stains, gently dab with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild wool cleaner and follow hand-washing instructions.
Straps feel uncomfortable.
Adjust the shoulder straps for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure the backpack is not overloaded, as excessive weight can cause discomfort.
