The Fjallraven Kanken was originally created in 1978 to help prevent back problems among Swedish school children. Today, this iconic backpack is worn by children and adults alike, all over the world. With the rainbow being a symbol for diversity, openness and equal rights, this pack perfectly captures the spirit of outdoor life. The Kanken Rainbow celebrates every individual's freedom to express themselves, and for each backpack sold 1% of proceeds is donated to projects within Fjallraven's Artic Fox Initiative. This pack is made from Vinylon F, a functional fabric that acts like a natural fibre and swells when it gets damp. Moisture actually makes the fabric weave tighter, so that it resists water without the need of a coating. The result is a lighter and more durable materials that doesn’t need reproofing and proves its durable functionality, year after year. The spacious main compartment has a large opening, making it easy to pack and unpack and boasts enough room to accommodate two A4 school binders and features a PE foam seat cushion, stored in its own pocket which also prevents the contents of the backpack from poking against your back. Two flat side pockets and a zippered front pocket helps to keep essentials to hand. Two grab handles at the top of the pack allows you to grab the pack on the go and the shoulder straps are made up of one consistent piece of webbing that can be loosened to convert this pack into a carry bag.
