Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Kanken backpack is straightforward:
- Adjust Shoulder Straps: Locate the slender, adjustable shoulder straps. Pull the straps to lengthen or shorten them until the backpack sits comfortably on your back, with the weight evenly distributed.
- Utilize Top Handles: For a different carrying style, use the top handles to carry the Kanken as a traditional bag.
- Position Seat Cushion: Ensure the PE foam seat cushion is correctly placed in the interior back pocket. This not only provides a convenient seat but also acts as a back panel to prevent contents from pushing against your back.
- Fill Address Label: For easy identification, fill out the name and address label located inside the main compartment.
Compatibility
The Kanken Classic is designed as a unisex backpack, suitable for a wide range of users from schoolchildren to adults. Its versatile design makes it compatible with various daily needs, whether for school, work, short treks, or travel. Its classic aesthetic also means it pairs well with diverse personal styles.
Care
To maintain the longevity and appearance of your Fjallraven Kanken:
- Cleaning: Clean the backpack using a soft brush and lukewarm water. Gently scrub away dirt and stains. Avoid using harsh detergents, washing machines, or tumble dryers as these can damage the Vinylon F fabric and its impregnation.
- Drying: Allow the backpack to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Storage: When not in use, store your Kanken in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
