What is the Kanken Art Hip Pack?
It's a decorative, vibrant hip pack perfect for casual errands, family days out and shorter adventures on the trail. It's a special edition piece made from Fjallraven's signature materials and featuring artwork from Swedish artist Martin Ander, aka Mander.
This product is part of Fjallraven's exciting Arctic Fox Initiative, where part of the sales go towards supporting various environmental and climate projects. So, not only do you get a cool accessory to add to your wardrobe, but you're helping a good cause whilst you're at it!
What is it made of?
The hip 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?
Alongside the bold, playful print, this mini-pack has a main compartment with an inside sleeve pocket and a key clip to keep your car or house keys safe on the go. A zippered security pocket at the back keeps mobile phones and wallets out of sight, while the zipped front pocket is ideal for small essentials you might want to reach quickly, like lip balm or gum.
Inside, there's a name label to put your own mark on it, ensuring it doesn't get into the wrong hands (I'm sure there will be lots of admirers around when you wear this product), making it a suitable accessory for adults at work, students at uni or kids going to school.
The strap is adjustable and 25mm wide. It feels comfortable to wear and offers plenty of freedom of movement for various activities. There's also a practical grab handle a the top if you're in a hurry and need more time to clip it onto your waist/hips.
