Fjällräven Kånken Laptop 17" Frost Green

After having difficulty with another backpack giving me severe headaches, when fully loaded for work. I switched to this 17” Kanken laptop bag and I’m so pleased I did. Everything feels weighted properly. The separate compartment for laptops is such a good idea. And the side pockets are great, I can easily fit my water bottle in. I find the straps very comfortable and no more headaches, which is a bonus!

Bought roughly a year ago (ochre) and I've been impressed by how much stuff I can carry. 16inch MacBook Pro, cable box, sunglasses, wallet, organizer, a change of clothes, the mini cooler, iPad, Kindle, umbrella, water bottle, rain jacket, etc. Literally, everything I can think of can somewhat fit inside this backpack. Using it against a waxed jacked will permanently stain the back part, that's for sure. No matter how hard I try to wash it, it just won't come clean. The other parts (to my surprise) are still generally pristine, despite of the very stain-prone color I chose.

Five stars for the 20 litre size, square shape, placement of pockets and quality of the material. Still unique among backpacks despite the hype. The square shape really makes this very easy to pack and it amazing how much stuff you can fit in it. However. Minus three stars for the lack of ergonomic shoulder straps. The improved straps of the Kånken Laptop is still light years behind the competition. You can easily find a backpack from another brand at one third of the price or less that has more ergonomic and comfortable shoulder straps. Unfortunately Fjällräven doesn't have any other models that both has the right size, square shape and comfortable shoulder strap. It would be truly fantastic if Fjällräven could launch a versionof the Kånken Laptop with truly ergonomic shoulder pads. Just do it Fjällräven! Every Kånken owner in the world is gonna buy another one!

Good laptop sleeve section, however there is zero padding inside or around the bag. The straps are also very thin with no support, so carrying a laptop along with other items really cut into your shoulders and isn’t very comfortable. For the price this backpack was, these basics really surprised me.

I have been using this backpack since 8th grade and I actually love it! I went on a field trip, (hiking) and we walked a lot and my backpack was still going strong! I also noticed it fixes my posture!
