What is the Kanken Art Plus?
It's an exclusive Kanken Backpack featuring artwork from Swedish artist Martin Ander, aka Mander. The Kanken Art Plus is part of the Arctic Fox Initiative, where part of each sale goes to environmental and climate projects. So, by purchasing this pack, you're not only adding a fantastic accessory to your wardrobe but giving to a worthy cause at the same time!
What is it made of?
This iconic pack is made using Fjallraven's own G1000® HeavyDuty Eco S material. G1000® HeavyDuty Eco S is like your standard G1000® on steroids, so to speak. The fabric comprises recycled polyester and organic cotton, giving you a more eco-friendly blend, and has a much smoother finish than standard Fjallraven materials, giving this pouch a more sophisticated, stylish finish.
It's designed to be extra tough, meaning this bag will survive heavy daily use without looking knackered after just a few months. It'll last you years to come and is also water resistant (although not completely waterproof), so you won't have to worry about things getting soaked inside when the weather's a bit naff.
If you want to make the material even more weather resistant, you can do so with Fjallraven's Greenland Wax (purchased separately). Applying it to the material is simple and can be done almost anywhere! If you'd like to learn how, check out Ben's helpful guide by clicking here.
What are its features?
Padded shoulder straps enhance the comfort of the Kanken packs, which are much less techy than other Fjallraven rucksacks. A handy webbing handle at the top of the backpack offers a great grab-and-go option if you're in a rush.
Alongside the main compartment, there are two open side pockets and one zippered pocket on the front, ideal for organising smaller essentials and keeping them within reach without getting them buried at the bottom of your bag.
An internal 15" laptop sleeve, which is padded at the bottom, allows you to transport your laptop safely, making this pack ideal for school, university or work. A huge bonus with this unique backpack is that you get a matching pencil case and mini sketchbook included - perfect for kids going back to school or even as an arty little treat for yourself.
