Customers are mixed about the straps.

However, others say that the strap are not even adjustable, they don't have any pads, and they tend to dig into their shoulders when the bag is on their back. The knapsack straps is very narrow and was initially a challenge to adjust. The straps were also very long after you adjust them to a female back.

Full disclosure here, I wanted one of these backpacks after seeing them all over Pinterest and Instagram and liking the Scandinavian style. Although I do a lot of hiking, I don't even plan to use this for hiking necessarily, and I am not a student. It will be used more frequently to carry my journal and books back and forth between home, work, and the library. I absolutely love the quality of the materials and was pleasantly surprised by the excellent design. My least favorite thing is the way the straps, once adjusted, don't snap back onto anything. Hard to explain but if you own a Kanken you likely know just what I mean. Fortunately they seem secure enough that it is not an issue. I can't find fault with this backpack otherwise as it's very nice and the seller I ordered from is definitely legit, everything was just as it should be and clearly authentic. I ordered a less desired color due to price as this was my first Kanken pack, but I have a feeling it will not be my last. I'm kind of loving the Orchid color. Graphite is great though, goes with absolutely everything.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great overnight bag
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2024
Color: GRAPHITEVerified Purchase
I bought this for an overnight trip. It holds its shape even if it’s not full and feels very sturdy and durable. I was able to fit a lot inside. It does have a big pocket where one would usually store a laptop, but it holds a foam rectangle meant to cushion your back. I personally would not carry a laptop in this bag. It made for a great “personal item” on the plane and fit securely under the seat in front of me. I think this is going to be a favorite backpack for many years.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Backpack!
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2014
Color: GRAPHITEVerified Purchase
I've always wanted this bag after seeing so many people have them in the city and I decided to finally get it! It's pretty sturdy and I'm able to fit my MacBook Pro 13", a textbook and some other books and things in it with no problem. I know that the slot in the bag isn't really made for laptops but it fits my MBP fine and I just leave the styrofoam in for some extra padding. I'm thinking of getting a laptop sleeve soon and I'm sure that it would be able to fit inside the slot.

The design of the bag is really cute and I love how this bag can be used as a tote and as a backpack. I tend to use it as a backpack but I have carried it as a tote! I've gotten several compliments on my bag and I really like how it's boxy. The two pockets on the side are really nice too. I am able to put a Poland Spring water bottle in one pocket and an umbrella in the other pocket. With other backpacks, my water bottle tended to randomly fall out and I wouldn't even notice until I wanted my water bottle but I have never had this problem with this bag. My water bottle and umbrella stay secure in their pockets. I love the small pouch in the front because I'm able to store some small things in there, as well.

I wore this bag when it rained a couple of days ago and I was sharing an umbrella with my friend. My bag got wet and I was really scared for my laptop inside. However, when I opened my bag, my laptop was fine and nothing was wet at all! After a few minutes, my bag wasn't even wet anymore (slightly, like barely noticeable, damp) while my friend's still was.

I guess the only problem I have with the bag is that it gets dirty fairly easily (I have random white marks on the bag). Personally, I don't mind too much because I think it gives the bag character but if you want it to remain in perfect condition or something, I guess this bag wouldn't be for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice little backpack
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2023
Color: GRAPHITEVerified Purchase
I decided on this bag because I needed something more minimal than my big Swiss gear bag and also lighter. I’ve used this bag for about a month now. I use it for work about once a week, so I don’t use it daily. It is a small backpack. It fits my ~15” think pad laptop and a few office essentials perfectly. The deep side pockets hold a small umbrella nicely which helps keep everything organized. The material is very sturdy and the zipper is not flimsy. I’m not the biggest fan of the straps on the pack itself. They are not as wide as most other backpacks but since I’m only using once a week it’s something I can live with. And the bag is very light which was the reason I purchased the bag in the first place. Of note there is an external zipper pocket and no interior pockets on this bag so very different from my previous bag. I’m getting by with this but have had to be creative with smaller items I don’t want just floating around in the bag. There is a seat cushion on the inside which sort of doubles as a back cushion in the bag. I haven’t removed mine but it seems like it’s a nice addition. Removing it may create a bit more room in the bag.

I’m sure this would be great for travel and also a nice size and weight for a kid to handle easily. I’d definitely consider this brand the next time I’m looking for a durable and nicely constructed bag.

Color: GRAPHITEVerified Purchase
I had considered getting a Kanken a few years ago, but decided to go for a more traditional city backpack that would have better padding for the back and shoulders, as well as some more space. And now that I finally got it, I realised how wrong I was!

My main use for my bags is just carrying some essential stuff when out and about in the city (like a water bottle, an umbrella, powerbanks and chargers, a couple of books and notepads, a lunchbox, my work uniform etc). That stuff fits comfortably in the Kanken and there is still enough space for some light shopping, even though it looked impossible when I first saw it.

Here are some things that really make this bag so ideal for the city:
- The size and the shape. Due to the maintained square shape you can stack thinks on top of the other with no fear of them getting all messy, compressed or make the back use uncomfortable.
- The deep side pockets. By putting my umbrella there I save so much space from the interior! The front pocket is also useful, but kinda small and typical for a backpack, as well as the "laptop" sleeve.
- The thin shoulder strips! It is funny how I saw this as a disadvantage, because it proved to be such a good choice eventually. Being on the move in a city with little time and space at moments (like when commuting or shopping), I often find myself at situations where I have to hang the bag on one shoulder and while walking or checking my phone. With my previous well padded bag this was a nightmare as it could only stay at this position for seconds before falling down. It is also easier to wear over layers of clothes and makes me less sweaty. Oh, and by the way it is not uncomfortable at all!
- The big and sturdy hanging strips. Another genius choice. No need to describe, anybody with a backpack in the city knows.
- The fact that the zippers open such a big part of the bag. Resembles a suitcase, makes organising or just finding stuff stored at the bottom so much easier. Also these are some great quality zippers.

Summing it up, this is the epitome of a well thought out product. Even though there are no crazy hidden compartments or much to talk about, the designers have managed to solve all the basic problems anyone could come across, in a way that nobody else has. I could only wish for a bigger side pocket that would hold my 750ml reusable bottle, but oh well.
