Know before you buy
The Mini Kanken is designed for compact essentials and will not fit a standard laptop. It is best suited for a tablet, a small notebook, a water bottle, and daily personal items.
The straps are adjustable in length, allowing you to wear the bag as a traditional backpack or pull them through to carry it as a shoulder bag or tote. This makes it easy to switch between styles depending on your needs.
The seat pad is stored in an interior back pocket and provides extra cushioning against your back while wearing the bag. You can easily remove it to use as a clean, dry seat when you are out in the park or traveling.
Vinylon F is a durable, water-resistant synthetic fiber that swells when damp to become denser, which helps it withstand light rain. While it is not fully waterproof, it is highly effective at keeping your belongings dry during typical daily commutes.
Yes, the Fjallraven logo on the front of the bag is reflective. It helps improve your visibility to drivers and others when you are walking in low-light conditions or at night.
