FAQs
What is the main difference between the Kånken Re-Wool and a standard Kånken?
The primary difference is the material. The Kånken Re-Wool uses a recycled wool Melton fabric for its main body, offering a different texture and aesthetic compared to the Vinylon F fabric of the standard Kånken.
Is the backpack waterproof?
The backpack is water-resistant, particularly the G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco S parts. The recycled wool main body offers some protection but is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, consider using a waterproof cover.
Can I fit a 15-inch laptop in this backpack?
The backpack fits A4 documents and can accommodate many 15-inch laptops, but the exact fit depends on the laptop's dimensions. It is recommended to measure your laptop and compare it with the backpack's internal dimensions.
How do I clean the G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco S material?
For G-1000 parts, use a soft brush and cold water. For tougher dirt, a mild soap can be used. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals. You can re-apply Greenland Wax for water resistance.
What does 'Fjällräven donates 1% of sales' mean?
Fjällräven is committed to environmental conservation and donates 1% of their total sales to organizations working to protect the Arctic fox and its habitat.
Can the shoulder straps be removed?
No, the shoulder straps are permanently attached but are adjustable. The backpack also features top carry handles.
What is the purpose of the removable seat cushion?
The seat cushion provides a comfortable place to sit when you need a break, and it also offers some additional back support when placed inside the main compartment.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush to remove any debris. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth and work the zipper back and forth to smooth operation.
Backpack appears discolored or stained.
For minor stains on the wool, try spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. For G-1000 parts, consult care instructions for appropriate cleaning agents. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Straps are uncomfortable or don't stay adjusted.
Ensure the strap length is adjusted correctly and the buckles are fully engaged. If straps continue to slip, check for wear on the buckle mechanism.
Wool fabric feels rough or pilled.
This is a natural characteristic of wool. Minor pilling can be gently removed with a wool comb or fabric shaver. Avoid excessive rubbing.
