Fjallraven 13" Classic vs 15" Laptop Backpack: Test Pack w/Laptop & How it looks on the Body

[@shobe918]

if it helps anyone, my 15" macbook pro fits in the 13" classic one.

[@clarabertrand4274]

Raine Tan thank you!

[@FuckenSuzie69]

Raine Tan, thanks! Literally the only reason I was watching this vid.

[@shobe918]

Yup but you have to remove the gray pad thing to make it fit.

[@FuckenSuzie69]

You're suppose to take out the grey foam from the beginning lol, I hate how nobody knows that. It's a hiking backpack, so that grey foam is actually to be used as a "seat" out in the wilderness.

[@miawxoxo5130]

Really? Please can you make a video for it?

[@akashananigans2901]

Thank you for actually SHOWING the bag and packing it with large items so we can see the capacity. Great review!

[@IraPand]

the laptop bag has a separate compartment for the laptop....

[@Itsshegooo]

I don’t think the 13 in did

[@alyssazavala8443]

I have the 13 one and yeah it has a separate compartment for the laptop.

[@loretta9229]

The 13 doesn’t it’s a pad to sit on for travelling

[@xaviergeronimo1050]

mayn blown

[@katrinarodriguez1060]

compared to a classic, should I invest in the laptop bag of 13"?

[@yannahabby7589]

I like how a man just like your husband can be so supportive to his wife. How sweet! And great comparative video! :D

[@LesnayaYagoda]

what did he do that is so supportive? he just filmed a video...

[@chocmint]

@@LesnayaYagoda he kinda seemed bored half the time too... but this was a great video nonetheless

[@caluhu]

the 13 inch one is a day pack. there is a 13 inch laptop backpack (which i have in graphite) and it's just like the 15 inch laptop backpack you have in the separate compartment with zipper oh and theres padding on all laptop backpacks!

[@arrinanasir3048]

Is your 13 inch laptop backpack become too compact when you put a 13 inch laptop in it and a few other thing?Im in a dilemma right now,i dont know to buy either 13' or 15' laptop backpack.Im worried if i bought the 15' one,it will look too big on me since i was only 5'2.Any opinion?

[@user-ut5gr7xm5j]

Can you take off the padding for the straps?

[@niickym3535]

Do you think a 14 inch laptop could fit in a 13 inch kanken laptop bag?

[@uhh9314]

I wanna know this too

[@nmarkus666]

@@niickym3535 will depend on the actual laptop model. The dimensions of the laptop pocket are on the manufacturer website

[@rheaschomaker7258]

I am new to the world of Fjallraven, since I saw them everywhere in Europe this summer. I landed on your video first, after googling “which Fjallraven backpack to buy”. In 12 minutes, i knew which one I should buy. Thanks for saving me the hours of research you spent deciding which to buy, and for helping me avoid counterfeits!

[@junebugbaby09xoxo]

i believe you got the classic backpack instead if the 13" backpack. all the laptop bags have padded straps and a separate laptop compartment :)

[@caitlynboone6583]

I have the 13” laptop bag but it doesn’t have padded straps

[@giuliapaulus1303]

Caitlyn Boone you might have gotten a fake one on accident

[@caitlynboone6583]

Giulia Paulus i meant a classic not laptop lol it has a pocket but not for a laptop

[@giuliapaulus1303]

Caitlyn Boone o nice

[@mrsnathalielim]

I have both the classic and the laptop backpack. The laptop backpack has the extra compartment and extra straps.

[@misspucca98]

really appreciated the fact that you put in your laptop!! :)

[@thewanderlustingmama8016]

Yes I had to try it out that way! It really made me prefer one ocer the other !

[@jjjtung]

the smaller one is just a normal kanken. I have that one too and I can fit my 13 inch laptop with the foam and the straps feel totally fine on my shoulders.

[@fauxtae6593]

+Jimmy Two-Times preach man

[@once861]

apeirrron for the classic one w/o padding on the straps, does it hurt when carrying a lot of weight? Such as a textbook or two?

[@kveegee7989]

kiwi kawa very!!! i wish i had gotten the laptop version

[@once861]

Andra lee Darn I already got the classic one. I usually carry 2 textbooks bc I dont use my locker but guess I'll use it more often so it wont hurt. Thanks for the info!

[@basiclarry6554]

Andra lee you can buy separate strap padding on the official kankan website

[@lylacalcano9616]

i have no trouble fitting my 13inch laptop into my kanken classic with the foam still inside

[@Larieckha]

Lyla Calcano I guess she has a 15inch laptop because that’s exactly what it looked liked when a guy in another video tested the classic with a 15inch one!

[@dyeitred]

do you take it to school? if so, does it hurt ur back

[@lisa.manekineko1013]

Yeah cus it's fake hahaha

[@itsmebrittanyl]

You are such a godsend for making this video! I am also researching these backpacks and I wanted a thorough look at the specs. You answered all my questions! Thank you!

[@linaho2920]

Your comparison video is wonderful! I wish this was out when I was doing research on the kanken backpacks lol. I first got the classic n the moment I opened the box I knew it was too small for me n being an architect student I needed something with a tad bit more space for my supplies so I returned it n got the kanken big which can fit a 17" laptop n it was perfect. There's a wax you can purchase that will help maintain the waterproof exterior of the bag. I recommend it for ppl who are quite rough with their bags or like to do lots of outdoor activities such as biking or hiking.

[@thewanderlustingmama8016]

Thanks for the comment! I made the video cuz I had such a hard time deciding too and I couldn't find many videos that compared sizes ! In the end I wish I got a 15 or 17 inch laptop in frost green but oh well! :)

[@arzusuleymanova]

they actually recommend to not use the wax on the kanken because it's not the right material for it.

[@laurenc14]

Thank you! I was thinking about purchasing one but was on the fence because there were hardly any pics on their websites of the inside. I'm glad you showed everything & even put your laptop in, very helpful!

[@trangdoan2947]

Could have said "I dont want fake bags" instead of saying "I dont want it from China or Vietnam" :)

[@LouisVuittonPrince]

Trang Doan right esp since the bags are made in both countries regardless of where you order

[@user-ut5gr7xm5j]

VuittonPrince exactly, it's kind of rude to be honest but I don't think she meant it that way

[@james-us8ej]

i mean. no? like my parents won’t buy stuff if it’s made in china because it’s pretty well known that the working conditions and stuff in general aren’t that great. so maybe she meant she didn’t want to support shit like that

[@Itsshegooo]

They were made in Sweden I don’t know where people are getting there info but they were not made in Vietnam or China and those places are know for duplicating or making fakes so I know where she’s coming from

[@lilacdratini]

That's because China is fake everything.

[@Bobbyfawn]

i think you can buy strap padding from the official online store

[@thewanderlustingmama8016]

Yes, you can! It was sold out when I first did this video. I tried it out at an actual store and didn't end up getting it cuz I didn't like the colors. They didn't have it in frost green.

[@riceblock2936]

[@thewanderlustingmama8016]

Your welcome !

[@sophiarich2567]

im happy you did this review so I can see the actual size of the bag

[@punkx_xchanel9512]

the laptop compartment was a zip in the back of the bag. (behind the straps) Only the laptop bags have this compartment and it's padded. the pocket you put it in is to only house the cushion to help with your posture. tmyk

[@myhappyday713]

So glad you fit a JJB Minibe, Be Quick in. Made it easier for me to visualize the capacity and consider my options.

[@cottonhxney]

The sleeve isn't a laptop compartment...

[@vanessar1630]

[@taehyungjams3392]

Chenxtroll I'm also an army

[@MyFictionalChaos]

She was just seeing if it was able to fit because extra protection... i think she was well aware that it wasnt for latop since one bag is FOR laptops

[@missawsum4918]

So, atleast she's making it useful because not everyone wants to use the foam

[@MissCupidLove]

This was such a helpful review! It was good to see someone fully review the backpack and how it looks, while showing it in the frame at all times. Definitely helped me decide on which backpack to get. Thank you!

[@soniaortiz5403]

Thank you so much for this review! Like you said, no-one actually shows the bag or models the bag or puts their laptop in there! I was leaning towards the 13 inch laptop one because I have a 13 inch macbook air but now I am thinking I am going with the 15 inch because it just look roomier and obviously my laptop will still fit. Thanks for the review!

[@isabelr8592]

such a helpful video when compared to all the others i've seen. :)Thank you

[@thewanderlustingmama8016]

Thank you for your comment !

[@RachelSuzanneA]

Hi, thank you for this video. Does the classic backpack fit a 15" laptop? I don't care if the 15" laptop doesn't fit into the sleeve, but would it fit into the general backpack area? I like the smaller size pack, but wonder if it would possibly fit my laptop. Thanks!

[@angelforyou]

the classic one is 38 cm to be exact, so i think it would be a bit of a struggle to fit a 15 inch laptop in it

[@sbsb5656]

1. the smaller one isn’t actually the laptop version of the bag 2. these older MacBooks habe a 13“ screen but are 15“ in size

[@noybryan704]

umm.....the "13" inch laptop knken was acutally the classic

[@yankyLOVE22]

the 15" looks perfect on you! I'm glad you mentioned your height, being petite myself I wasn't sure how the 15" would look on me but i went ahead and ordered it online anyways because I wanted the extra padding haha. Soo excited to receive mine in the mail next week!

[@miawxoxo5130]

Anne D I feel you! I'm myself also 5'1" but I'm getting the 13" bag because I'm still not sure if the 15" looks too big/bulky on me and I want a padded bag with laptop compartment just like the 5". I went to the official site and found the 13" laptop I'm superrr happpy

[@floryneantony1731]

Could you telle me how large the laptop pocket is please ? I have a 15,5’’ laptop and I’m scared it wouldn’t fit the kanken 15’’

[@nathalietuteleersdelacuadr1267]

Soo... I think that the 15" one had a special pocket or compartment for the laptop, like outside of the principal one...

[@ariannaolivas8197]

Thank you for showing how much it can hold it really helps

[@gregisthefastestgrowingcha4442]

I need some help deciding: I have a 13.3” computer. I’m not sure if I should get the 15” laptop bag (it might be too big considering I’m quite short) or the 13” laptop bag (risk my computer not fitting) please can someone tell me what to do, they’re pretty expensive so I don’t want to get the wrong one 🙏🏻🧐

[@leoneckerich8910]

Which one did you pick? I mean it’s been a year haha

[@autumnruns]

I'm so sad the laptop bag does not come in frost green! Thanks for the comparison - I've also been online for hours trying to research! haha

[@ricola0131]

I have the MacBook air 13 inch, should I get the kanken 13 or kanken 15

[@roblox_uwu_3302]

I got the clasic one in the color warm yellow and its so nice!

[@sarahlosenblair9900]

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but I think you ordered the wrong backpack for yourself. It looks like you ordered the "13in Classic" vs getting the "13in Laptop" version. The laptop specific backpacks all have separate laptop compartments. The interior sleeve is only there to hold the back padding, not to hold a laptop. Here is the "13in Laptop": www.fjallraven.us/products/kanken-13-laptop-backpack

[@hp7958]

The 13in one was not the laptop one that's the daypack..,

[@leocastrillo759]

there is a laptop one that's 13 inches

[@ピンクゴリラ-y7s]

What a helpful video!👏🏼 It puzzled me what I should buy , but I decided to buy bigger one because I'm a student.🤗 Thank you. 🙏🏽💋 I am sorry,It was unskilled English.😭🇯🇵

[@thewanderlustingmama8016]

Thank you for your reply!

[@vanessar1630]

Do notebooks and binder fit on the 13 classic?? (Edited) I'm 5'1 which one would you recommend

[@jumanaelbakri8947]

Chenxtroll hey I'm not her but I'd say it would fit 2 2,5" binders and that's all, so if you have things that are less than 5" with it not being squished in there you are fine. Since you are shorter the slight won't make a difference but it's bigger width wise, so if that's unflattering keep that in mind

[@alyssadomingo4364]

THIS REALLY HELPEDD !! thank you so much i now have a reference on how it will look on myself as i am looking to buy the 15" laptop version and am 5"3 so as you mentioned on you 5"1 height it looks great on you! so i hope it will on me too hehe

[@pickledOnionGal]

You can also buy add on padded Straps for the classic one

[@4pastelribbons]

hi, I wanted to buy the 15-inch kanken. however, the official website doesn't ship to my country.would you mind providing a link to the seller you bought from amazon?

[@thewanderlustingmama8016]

Hi! Sorry for the late response .. I've been traveling for a month and currently still traveling ... Anyway... I basically just chose the seller that would ship "prime"--- not sure if you have Amazon prime , but that's how I chose !

[@calredl4636]

Very helpful video although i am late to seeing this. the comparison of the sizes was exactly what ive been looking for.

[@Je.journals]

Thank you for doing this review Hope to see more reviewes of Fjällräven kankens :)

[@CarolineSkoglund1]

thank you so much for this it was really helpful, i decided on the laptop bag since im a highschool student and i have to carry all my stuff all day as my school is huge snd there is no time for lockers

[@thewanderlustingmama8016]

Thank you for the comment! Yes, the laptop bag is probably better for students. The classic may be better for days out without books and electronics.

[@betwixxt4211]

Am I the only one who always snaps the two top straps together?

[@graceeamer335]

i’m pretty sure that the frost green one is a counterfeit- it doesn’t have the swedish flag on the inside next to the writing on the back :/... i would stick to buying these on the actual website just because you never know what you’re actually gonna get when you’re on amazon sometimes. no hate, just trying to help.

[@autumnrose_tv]

If you’re gonna be carrying a laptop with you then I’d recommend buying the 13” laptop kanken since the classic isn’t designed for carrying laptops

[@lheanmae4240]

this video really helped me decide which I want☺️

[@EruditeMeTonight]

[@arniekins]

I have a 15 inch Lenovo and had to buy the 15 inch laptop bag. The classic which is 13 inch was too small.

[@nmarkus666]

The 13 will probably work. We fit clothes for 2 people for 2 days in a 15 lol

[@mztriz]

15 unless you plan on using a locker a lot.

[@JessNV]

I thought all the authentic bags had the Swedish flag on the bottom right of the inside white tag...?

[@joselyndominguez5017]

They do! Hers are definitely fakes. Amazon is not an authorized reseller & is a sea of deep fakes that look convincing if you don’t know what to look for. Another dead giveaway is the cheap stitching gin the inside of the bags (it would be much thicker and superior looking on the real ones), the lack of a sticker on the seat pad authenticating its use and purpose, and the reflective logo on the real bags would have a bolder print with thicker dots over all of the “a”s that you could actually see from a distance.

[@omgitzbrooke5395]

i got the 20l and its so big im going to get the classic onee

[@moevervaet616]

I totally reserched it a ton

[@alexxxilies]

you showed that the 13" mac fits in the 2 bags but you didnt show if a 15" mac can fit in the 15" fjallraven..

[@reyesia5671]

Hi! I just keep coming back to this review. May I quickly ask which bag size do you personally find more useful in a daily basis? Tx!

[@cateIeya]

Can you fit a 3 inch binder in the laptop bag? Pls respond

[@thewanderlustingmama8016]

Sorry I have been out of town and unable to respond ! I don't have a 3 inch binder with me nor the bags with me (well I have one of them)... Won't be able to check for a few more weeks (I am moving and things everywhere)- hopefully you were able to find out though!

[@claudiii_0311]

little fact: if your Kanken doesn't have a Swedish flag at the tag in the inside where you can write your name than it's a fake so I think you might have got a fake one off amazon

[@elenicosta8771]

Only the newer versions have that, keep in mind this was from 3 years ago. They changed the new models so they are different from the ones she is showing! :)

[@joselyndominguez5017]

It’s definitely a fake, the seams on the inside are not how they would appear on the real deal, there’s no sticker on the seat pad authenticating it’s use & purpose, the logo on both of her bags do not have the bolder font with the dots over the “a”s being more visible as they would appear on the real bags. The Swedish flag is definitely an authenticating factor, but even deep fakes have now started to incorporate them, but they are sometimes smaller or bigger, or sewn in upside down. Amazon is full of deep fakes of the Kanken bags. Hers are fakes. It’s pretty useless to purchase from unauthorized retailers, when it’s not that much of a discount anyways and you might as well just get the real deal from Fjallraven’s US site or Urban outfitters.

[@mylabrown7857]

I need help before I purchase one I have a 14inch laptop from what my dad says so if I get a 15inch one it should be okay right? It just doesn’t look big enough to fit my laptop because my laptop looks like the MacBook size. So if anyone can help please do
