The original Kanken by Swedish outdoor manufacturer Fjallraven was designed for school kids. It’s a small backpack with a couple of pockets only – it can hardly fit a small laptop, and the side pockets aren’t big enough to hold a water bottle.
That’s because when the bag was designed, no one worried about those things. As long as the little Swedish kids could fit their school books and some other bits and bobs in the Kanken, it was good enough.
