Fjallraven Kanken? Get These Instead

[@zakariaayoob1768]

Got for my kids Re-kanken. They have been using it for 3 years and still look good. At the end of each year, I just tossed them in the washing machine and it looks all clean and good to go. I like the fact that the kanken bag doesnt make my kids looks like carrying/ having turtle shell on their back.

That's awesome! Fjallraven quality is some of the best

Never heard of the donut macaroon until this video. It’s really nice! Might have to put it on my short list of bags to try out.

[@Backpackies]

They are a brand out of Hong Kong and have some interesting designs. Worth checking out!

[@xyrt00]

Thank you!!!🎉🎉🎉 I've been hesitant for weeks, this really helped ❤❤❤

[@Backpackies]

Awesome! That's great to hear

[@tflbo]

Thank you for the tips. It would be super helpful to me to also compare the weight and packability of these bags.

[@Backpackies]

Good suggestion, will definitely keep that in mind for future videos

[@CorVids1031]

So glad I watched this video! I was looking at Kankens but am getting a Doughnut for much cheaper instead!

[@Backpackies]

The Doughnut is a great bag!

[@huynhxuanviet9818]

Thank you, the Kanken is iconic but its getting kinda old nowadays.

[@incandescent2406]

"old", that's why we used Kanken

[@Mr.Mr.Sir.]

Can you do a review on the Doughnut Macaroon Large???

[@rbl_fiscal7720]

Can u do under armour hustle 5.0 vs hustle pro

[@sheilabataclan8400]

Wow my kanken has been with me for 6 years... And it still looks new....

[@cheungp2]

Totally agree Macaroon is VERY GOOD

[@lynnb2562]

I mean, you can get most of these features in a Kanken Laptop version in 13" 15" and 17" sizes... none of these are enough of an upgrade to bother with.

[@Backpackies]

Sure! The Kanken Laptop versions have padded shoulder straps and a laptop pocket. But we do think these bags have more pockets and more comfortable straps in general. When you compare the prices, these may be a better value for some people.

And she was trying to give people an option that is more affordable and trust me not everybody wants a trendy bag that's not waterproof like I live in the PNW and a kanken will get ruined in one rainy season geez

Do Americans always need to carry liters of water around? Didn’t knew it was a desert.

[@Backpackies]

Easy now! We can't ignore the Southwest US like that! 🌵😅

[@user-vu8iu2sx5u]

They have this weird obsession with sizes while ignoring their bladders.

[@ErikCarlosToren]

There are lots of drink vending machines with water bottles. But unfortunately good available public water fountains depends on the US region and public ones sometimes tend to be sus. 😂

[@user-vu8iu2sx5u]

Why are you putting water bottles in the sunglasses and newspaper pockets of the Kanken, and then complaining??

[@Backpackies]

Do lots of people still carry around newspapers where you live? Sincerely asking.

[@אוסטרוסומליה]

Yeah, pockets chould be bigger, or you can not take a half a gallon of fluids everywhere you go, I've been to 44 countries, they all had water

[@TheJumisingo]

Thanks thanks thanks

All the alternatives are pretty ugly though.
