The Kånken backpack was created in 1978 to help prevent back problems for Swedish school children and has quickly become a trend in kindergartens across the country. Today it is one of Fjällräven’s most popular products. Kånken is suitable for both going to school or work, hiking or traveling; it is made of a Vinylon F fabric: light, resistant, waterproof and dirt repellent.
