## Description

A Special edition Kånken made entirely from polyester recycled from plastic bottles. The spacious main compartment has a large opening with a zip, which makes it easy to pack and unpack. It has two flat side pockets and a zipped pocket on the front, perfect for those bits and bobs that you want to keep close at hand. The included PE foam seat cushion is stored in the interior back pocket where it prevents the contents of the backpack from poking against your back - and is always within reach for when you need to take a break and sit down, wherever you may be. The carrying system is simple but practical and consists of handles at the top and slender, adjustable shoulder straps.

Review: Excellent quality with some great features... But you pay for it. - I bought this pack to take out on day camps and for general day to day wear. The recycled material was a good selling point. The bag is really well made with deceptively powerful but simple features. The front of the bag unzips in a way that provides really good access to the contents. The straps and handle can be buttoned down to stow away neatly and the two side pockets will take most 500ml drinks bottles - although Nalgene type bottles and canteens are probably a bit large for them. The back section has a built-in pad to provide comfort and can be removed to be used as a sitter. The size is just right for day camps, it will easily take a 3x3 tarp, hammock, light poncho, first aid kit and CAT, knife and saw, sunglasses, coat, sundry bags for wood collection or rubbish and my EDC stuff (Swiss army knife, lighter, fuel canister and wallet) in the front pocket. I can also use a carabiner to clip a canteen to the top handle. The lack of strap padding doesn't affect the comfort at all, and as a result, the bag is surprisingly comfortable even with a good few kilos of kit in, if packed properly. It sits nicely at the top of my shoulders and doesn't sag or slip, extended wear is still very comfortable. One negative is the lack of a rain cover, which would have been nice, given the pricey nature of Fjallraven kit. It's so far stood up to some fairly soggy northern English weather, but it'd have been a nice inclusion. That said, the quality is very good and I forget who said "the quality lingers long after the bitter taste of the price paid", but it rings true with most Fjallraven kit. I'd recommend for any outdoors types wanting something for day camps or days out but would also be good for school/uni use (particularly for heavy books and smaller folders) or just general day to day use.
Review: Great value smallish rucksack - I've coveted a Fjällräven bag for a long time and finally bought a re-cycled version that I love. It's perfect for work and holds up well to general commuting strain. It seems pretty robust. I can fit my iPad, water bottle, a book, glasses case and umbrella comfortably with room to spare. Front pocket is useful as well. The all grey is stylish and I feel good knowing it's entirely re-cycled. Recommend if you're after a slightly smaller rucksack that stops you carrying too many unnecessary things!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best everyday bag I've ever owned
*by T***S on 4 April 2018*

I decided to get a Kanken bag after seeing a few around. Decided I like the Re Kanken as the badge is a bit more subtle. Being honest, when it first arrived I thought that no way was it worth the money...simple straps, 2 pockets, 2 simple handles and that's it. Genuine annoyance was setting in looking at it. Thought all the reviews can't be wrong and they are aren't. It's simplicity, turns out is it's best feature. I carry a 13inch laptop in it, general work stuff waterproof coat and snacks. No more opening numerous pockets to remember where i put something. You can fit a surprising amount in it and it's light as a feather fully loaded . The way the straps cross over, they support the bag and make them the most comfortable straps I ever used which is just so odd when you look at them, but they are. Got caught it a really heavy down pour last week and bag was bone dry inside which, baring in mind I've got my laptop in was a relief! Over all, super happy with my new bag and can't recommend enough.
