Kanken 15" Laptop Backpack
Product details
Web ID: 14423620Best Backpack Ever!!
I have 2 Kanken backpacks, both almost 10 years old and they are in really great shape. That alone makes me love this brand. It ACTUALLY holds up to wear & tear! This brand is one of the few reputable brands that does not use PFAS chemicals, yet is still waterproof. I love the way the canvas material wears over time, almost like a leather bag that gains character over time. I love that you can zip if completely open to see everything at once (if you need to). And unlike many other reviews, I love the side pockets!!! They do fit regular size water bottles, as well as baby bottles, spray sunscreen. No it will not fit your absurdly large Stanley bucket, but a 12-20 oz bottle, yes! Truly ever other backpack I’ve tried before this had some stretchy bit or crappy mesh that ended up ripping in less than a year. The pockets are perfect!!! Never change them. Lastly, I love that there are so many color options. It’s the best backpack on the market and it’s worth the high price tag.

Useless side pockets
I've had mine for 2 years. It is durable and versatile. However, you cannot utilize the side pockets as NOTHING fits in them. A basic bottle of water does not fit. I have to carry my water in the main compartment. For the price, there should be some sort of stretchy material or elastic or webbing for the side pockets to accommodate a beverage.

Good size
I purchased the 15” Laptop kanken. Excellent size, holds everything I need for work. My only issue is the material seems to show up a lot of dust/dirt which makes the bag look older than it is!

Not worth it.
i am appalled. i was walking to the bus stop like i would usually, when suddenly my bag straps snapped. it snapped. the shock left me standing there, gaping, unable to process what just happened. usually i rely on this bag to carry many heavy loads but today seemed to be an exception. when the rest of the bag hit the concrete, the zippers split open (not one, but TWO) leading it to leave a exceedingly large rip down the side of the bag. i was distraught. i was upset. i stood there, standing at the scene, staring at the bag whilst mourning the sight. it is such a great shame that such an expensive item that only lasted me 6 months, broke so simply and shortly. i am in great dismay and i will NEVER BUY FROM HERE AGAIN!

So much for such an expensive item
i bought this item a year ago and i have always relied on it to hold massive amounts of stuff and it always has until this dreadful morning. this bag snapped. it snapped. i fell over and scraped my knee, staying there for a couple seconds, recovering both physically and mentally from mourning this bag. i put the bag down and i noticed that the bag had a exceedingly large rip on the side. furthermore, it came to my attention that both of the zips had as a matter of fact been broken. I was devastated and appalled at how such an expensive item could have broken so simply. I then proceeded to throw it in the bin as it no longer mattered to me. it was dead to me. useless.

No water bottle sleeve
It is very roomy and holds a lot of things. It could use an additional outside pocket for keys or passport. The biggest problem is that there is no sleeve for a water bottle. In addition, the sleeve to use for sliding onto a luggage handle is really tight - almost impossible to slide on easily. I will not use this bag in the future - I now have a backpack that I really cannot use.

the best
I love my Kånken 15" laptop bag so much. I first purchased it using Christmas money while on a trip to Sweden when I was eight years old in 2013 and have used it as my schoolbag every single day for the past 11 years in addition to taking it on 20+ international and domestic trips. While it does have some very small holes from intensive use, it still functions perfectly normally and I would be bringing it to my freshman year in college if it were not for the fact that my new laptop does not fit (I bought the 17" to bring with me.) Seriously though, I have grown up with this bag and it's really worth the money.
