This guide will help you maximize the benefits of its practical features, including its unique removable seat cushion, adjustable straps, and hard-wearing fabric, ensuring you get the most value from your Kånken.

The Kånken is made from hard-wearing polyamide fabric that offers excellent water resistance, meaning it can withstand light rain and splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof and we do not recommend submerging it or exposing it to heavy, prolonged downpours.
No, it is not recommended to machine wash your Kånken backpack. Machine washing can damage the fabric, hardware, and shape. Spot clean with lukewarm water and a soft brush, and air dry.
The removable seat cushion, stored in the internal back pocket, serves two purposes: it provides padding for your back while carrying the backpack, and it can be taken out to use as a comfortable sitting pad when you're outdoors or on public transport.
While a small laptop or tablet might fit into the main compartment, this specific 16L Kånken model does not have a dedicated padded laptop sleeve. For secure laptop transport, consider Fjällräven Kånken Laptop models, which come with specific padded compartments.
To adjust, slide the webbing through the buckle until the backpack sits high on your back, close to your body. The goal is to distribute the weight evenly and prevent the bag from sagging. Both straps should be equally tightened.
This Fjällräven Kånken backpack is made from 100% polyamide, a durable and hard-wearing synthetic fabric known for its resistance to dirt and moisture.
Ensure both straps are adjusted evenly. The backpack should sit high on your back, with the weight distributed across your shoulders and upper back. If carrying heavy items, try to distribute the weight evenly within the main compartment.
The polyamide fabric is designed to be hard-wearing. For surface dirt, wipe gently with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and soft brush, then air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away and try zipping again. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite or a silicone-based spray) to the teeth.
Stuff the backpack with soft items like clothing or towels to help it regain its shape. Over time, with regular use, it will settle into its natural form.
The Kånken backpack requires minimal setup.
