Thank you for doing this review! I liked how you showed how the backpack looked when you wore it, because I'm interested in getting the 15" but wasn't sure how it looked like for someone with a small frame.
Thank you so much for this ! I’m trying to decide on the 13 or 15 inch laptop and this helps. I’m very short too. Under five feet so I’ve definitely ruled out the 17inch. Well done !!!
Hi! Thanks a lot for this review, it answered quite a lot of my questions. I currently have a classic kanken and I'm looking into buying a 13 inch laptop, so I'm on the hunt for a laptop bag. But because the dimensions of the 13 inch model are smaller than the classic, I'm thinking of getting a 15 inch model, just like you. I was wondering if you experienced any problems with your smaller laptop sliding around in the large laptop compartment!
+lobbykid Hi. I'm glad you found the review useful. To be honest, I don't think I've ever had that problem with the compartment. Even when I put my ipad mini in i don't really feel as if it's sliding around. But even if it did, the compartment is padded in the front and back, so it helps.
+stella kim again I coulnd't reply back directly to ur comment! sorry... I'm actually shorter than you, I would say exactly 5' ..if you have a 13" laptop then go for the 13" laptop bag I think..because as u can see for me the 15" was a lil' bit too big for my frame..hope that helps :)
Thank you for your review, I found it to be really useful! I'm also interested in buying the Kanken classic laptop bag or Kanken No.2 13 inch laptop version, as I would like the material to be waterproof. Is your bag also a bit waterproof? I'm also considering the size of it, as I'm also petit, 149 cm, so I'm a bit afraid 15 inch version might be a bit too big, but it's also useful for putting more stuff into it. I would also like to ask you, doesn't the notebook compartment take some space from the main part? When you're using the padded straps, don't they slide down a bit from shoulders? Are you still using it daily for work? You have chosen nice colour, good to pair up with other colors, I also like the color red or purple. Take care.
Hi. I'm not sure if my bag is water resistant. I've never had instances where my bag was thoroughly soaked. A bit of rain here and there I have experienced and the bag seems ok. The 15 inch would be big as it is also big on my frame but the extra storage space makes up for it especially when I use it for travelling. It makes the perfect bag to bring on the plan. The notebook compartment does not really take up space from the main part and the straps don't slide down. And yes, I am still using the bag for my work commute :)
Mel Qistina ooh it's been awhile, I can't remember exactly.. i guess it depends on which country you're in.. i think it took about a week an a bit for it to arrive for me and I live in NSW, Australia. btw, apologies for the late reply
Thanks so much for sharing the video! My wife loves it and she has just ordered one from the same website like you did and also we live in NSW Au too! Just wondering if you experiencing any color transfer from the kanken bag to clothes you wear ? Especially the dark color bag to light color clothes? also in hot whether when the body sweating ......
Hi! I've never had colour transfer problems with the bags. I've worn the black bag over a white t-shirt and it was ok. I've also worn the bag back in Malaysia where the weather was humid and I did sweat a bit but so far, no problems with any colour transfer. Hope that helps :)
I’m thinking about getting this backpack but i don’t know what size too get because I weigh 93lbs and I’m 4’11”. And I need room for school supplies for high school. Do you think it would be better for me to get the 15” or 17”? I’m scared the 15” won’t have enough room but if I get the 17” it might be too big for me.
Hi. i'm about 5" and for me i think the 15" is big enough. if i had gone for the 17" it would have been much too big for me. Spacewise, i guess it depends on what your bringing to school, it can fit a couple of textbooks and a few more smaller notebooks I believe. I'm not sure if I was much help but I hope that helped a bit. :)
how does the material hold up? i have a problem with my current laptop backpack where the fabric on the bottom is fraying and making a hole where the corner of my laptop hits.
Hi! The material seems to hold up well, granted I have not had the bag for years yet. But I do use it every week to work for my commute. So far so good :)
+黄惠 Hi! I decided to go with the kanken laptop because of the separate laptop compartment and the paddings for the shoulder strap. The laptop compartment made it easier to take out the laptop esp during airport security. As for the paddings for the shoulder strap, I find with the kanken mini, if there's more weight, the straps tend to cut into my shoulder. The paddings help with that problem. I hope that helps you a bit :)
Sorry for this picky question but what's the diameter of the water bottle you fit on the side pockets? the bottle I want to fit is about 6.5cm in diameter and I'm not sure if that will fit.. I want to order the bag by this weekend ^^ Thanks!
Anupa Adhikari the side pockets are not elastic so whatever you put in the side pockets will take up space in the main compartment. I'm not sure if i explained that well but I hope it helps
I do apologise for the late reply. I had some urgent matters going on the past few days. My bottle is abt 7cm in diameter so I think it should fit but like +nope nope mentioned the side pockets aren't elastic so it does take up space of the main compartment
Really useful video! I am about to buy one but cannot decide between 13 inch and 15 inch. Like you I am quite small too. Please can you tell me which colour this is? Website shows royal blue and deep blue. I want the one closest to navy. Many thanks
Hi Paula. My 15 inch shown in the video is actually in the colour Black. I'm not sure which would be the closest to navy but when I looked at the website (australian site), I thought deep blue looked the closest to navy. I hope that helps.
Hi i really love your review! Hey can u help me? Im thinkin of buying kanken bag but ive a little problem of choosing the right one. I'm currently studying at local uni and thinking of buying it to bring it to class and travel as well. Sometimes i went home by train and may be need to bring my laptop for assg. So is it okay if i buy mini kanken? Or should i go for 13'inches bag? I hope u notice me thankyou 😊
+Husna Syaffa hey. glad that you like the review. if you're going to bring along ur laptop, i think a mini kanken would not be an option. the mini kanken would be too small for a laptop. if ur laptop is a 13 inch then I would suggest going for the 13 inch laptop bag. i think a classic kanken could also hold a 13 inch laptop but i still think the 13 inch laptop bag would be a better choice because it has padded straps. i hope that helps you decide. let me know if you have anymore questions :)
What is the different of kanken daypack and kanken classic backpack? because I see some online shop selling daypack and backpack with different prices....
+kin abd jalal ooh dear, i'm sorry as i'm not too sure myself... this is a first for me hearing about a kanken daypack. maybe it's called a daypack in different regions of the world..i'm not too sure.. i tried googling it.. it looked like the daypack and the classic kanken could be the same thing.. i dunno.. sorry i can't be much help..
Does your 15'' bagpack actually fit your husbands 15'' laptop? I have heard they are actually on the smaller side and only fit the macbooks but not regular 15'' laptops
+Katarzyna Terek hi. apologies for the late reply. I tried to put it my husband's laptop but it turns out that his is a 15.6" laptop. It was slightly bigger and when I zipped it up, it would close at the corner. I'm sorry I couldn't be much more of a help.
Hi. I had to go for the 15" because of my work laptop..if not I would have chosen the 13" which would have been better for my height. I'm 152cm which is about 5' I think..
Hi! My laptop bag is for the 15". I don't think it will fit You might have to go for the bigger size. My husbands laptop is also 15"++ and it would not fit when I tried it out.
loved the review of the bags! I'm deciding whether to buy the 15 inch or the 13 inch.however the website currently doesn't ship to my country :( they didn't do worldwide shipping anymore:'(
+S.S Kirwan hi. This 15 inch laptop is neither the big or the maxi. i chose the range specifically for laptop..here's the link to it www.ilovemykanken.com/product/fjallraven-kanken-laptop-15-black/ ... I hope that helps :)
+S.S Kirwan yes they have the mini range, the classic range, the big range, the maxi range and the laptop range..mine is the 15 laptop range.. the link that i gave you is the exact same bag that i have.. i believe the difference between the maxi, big and laptop range is that the laptop has a separate laptop compartment as you can see from my review video :)
+Necessary Evil hi. I'm only 5 feet tall. You would be taller than me and if you've got broad shoulders I think you'd be able to pull off the 15 inch better than I do :)
Thank you for doing this review! I liked how you showed how the backpack looked when you wore it, because I'm interested in getting the 15" but wasn't sure how it looked like for someone with a small frame.
Thank you for doing this review. It's the best one I've seen!
This was the most helpful review of the Kanken bags! Thank you!! :)
I loved your review! Hopefully I'll be able to purchase the 15 inch soon :)
Thank you so much for this ! I’m trying to decide on the 13 or 15 inch laptop and this helps. I’m very short too. Under five feet so I’ve definitely ruled out the 17inch. Well done !!!
Always glad to see an adult review this bag. I'm still contemplating one lol
Thanks for the review. I'm getting one very soon.
how tall are you? I want to buy the laptop backpack and I'm like 5'2" haha
stella I’m 5”1 and it doesn’t look too big it’s okay in my opinion

Would a 5 subject notebook fit in the mini??
i'm sorry for the late reply as I've been away. if the notebook is about an A5 size then yeah it should fit.
Which color is the second bag? Navy or Graphit?
It's actually black :)
what's the color of the 15" one? Navy?
The 15" is in black :)
where Is the lowest the bag can sit on ur body (after adjusting the bag straps to the longest possible)
Hi! With the 15" in covers the butt area while the mini just hits above the butt
Ah cool thanks :)))
i'm 5'2 and im debating on which to get between the 13" and the 15"
Hi. I had to go for the 15" because of my work laptop..if not I would have chosen the 13" which would have been better for my height. I'm 152cm which is about 5' I think..
what color is your kanken 15 inches bag?
+Sulovesu11 hi! the 15 inch is in black :)
+Adaahyaudin thank you so much!
thank you!
What color is the mini one ?
Hi! it's in the colour Ox Red :)
hello if i adjudt the strap of classic to lowest will it reach the butt like jansport thanks... i like wearing backpack like that
Kim Min Suk hi! Yes you can adjust the straps. For me it does reach it, same for the mini one too. Hope that helps!
my laptop is 15.6" do you think it fits ?
Hi! My laptop bag is for the 15". I don't think it will fit You might have to go for the bigger size. My husbands laptop is also 15"++ and it would not fit when I tried it out.
What color is the 15” bag?
It's black :)
Adaahyaudin thanks!
Hey, im like 4"7 would it look too big on me??
Hi, If you're referring to the 15" laptop bag then yes it might look big. I'm about 5' and i think it still looks big on me.
loved the review of the bags!
I'm deciding whether to buy the 15 inch or the 13 inch.however the website currently doesn't ship to my country :(
they didn't do worldwide shipping anymore:'(
Good review especially for women who are petite in size.
15 laptop bag is it the big or maxi?
+S.S Kirwan hi. This 15 inch laptop is neither the big or the maxi. i chose the range specifically for laptop..here's the link to it www.ilovemykanken.com/product/fjallraven-kanken-laptop-15-black/ ... I hope that helps :)
+Adaahyaudin I saw online they have mini,classic,big and maxi.
+S.S Kirwan yes they have the mini range, the classic range, the big range, the maxi range and the laptop range..mine is the 15 laptop range.. the link that i gave you is the exact same bag that i have.. i believe the difference between the maxi, big and laptop range is that the laptop has a separate laptop compartment as you can see from my review video :)
+Adaahyaudin thank you very much.
I also like how you included telekong as well. Very useful tips and I like it. Take care from England😘
What is the color of Mini Kanken?
ox red
Thank you :) :)
this looks like a good bag! i 'm going to surf the website now! hahahaha...
god bless this video

152 cm = 4'11
hi! i didn't realise 4'11 is 152cm.. i'm used to going by cm so I just googled it up and it says 152cm is more or less 5 foot :)
I'm 511 with broad shoulders. Should I get this or the 13 inch?
+Necessary Evil hi. I'm only 5 feet tall. You would be taller than me and if you've got broad shoulders I think you'd be able to pull off the 15 inch better than I do :)
Thanx
