Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Kanken Totepack requires minimal setup. Simply adjust the shoulder straps for backpack mode or attach the tote handles for shoulder bag mode. The integrated seat pad is located in the back pocket of the main compartment and can be removed or reinserted as needed.
Compatibility
- Laptop: The internal padded sleeve is designed to fit laptops up to 13 inches.
- Usage: Ideal for daily commutes, short trips, university, work, and light outdoor activities.
Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your Kanken Totepack:
- Cleaning: Clean the bag using a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh detergents, washing machines, or tumble dryers, as these can damage the material and coatings.
- Water Resistance: The G-1000 HeavyDuty S fabric is naturally water-resistant. For enhanced water repellency, especially after prolonged use or cleaning, you can adapt the bag with Greenland Wax (sold separately). Apply the wax by rubbing it onto the fabric, then gently heating it with a hairdryer or iron (on low heat) to melt it into the fibers.
- Drying: After cleaning, allow the bag to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Storage: Store your Totepack in a cool, dry place when not in use.
