burnoutjunkie42 hey! I see ur comment abt the re kanken in red, how do u like it so far? Im planning to get one so im really excited to see your thoights abt it!
I really like the Fjallraven Rekanken backpacks and the sunflower colour is great. I have my backpack in the navy colour. I have seen quite a few videos about these backpacks and also about how to tell if it is a fake one. It is said that only the original one has the little Swedish flag in the inside. Yours does not seem to have it or at least I could not see it. My Rekanken has the little Swedish flag inside. There seem to be a zillion fake Fjallraven backpacks around, which is a shame because the brand is really great. Love the review of your backpack!
I saw in another review this material pilled when her original was much older and had not. Could anyone tell me, was this a one off or does the fabric of this bag indeed pill?
I watched a few Re-Kanken reviews and noticed that too, I went to Fjällräven website and they’re made entirely from polyester recycled from plastic bottles...so I guess that explains the pilling.
I hope you'll be able to answer my question! There aren't really any videos on how to tell a real rekanken apart from a fake, do the zippers on the authentic also have the YKK logo on the side, or is it different with this version of the bag? I just got this bag in the pink color off amazon for about $60 and I'm having doubts. Thank you in advance!
What is the difference in colour between this re-kanken (sunflower yellow) and the normal kanken (warm yellow)? Is it more bright? Or dark? Can't really tell the difference when seeing pictures of both.
Will this one last as long as the original? The material seems a bit flimsy in comparison to the classic vinyl / polypropylene made backpack. I’m not if it will hold up as well.
I've just received my Fjallraven rekanken from Amazon everything looked like the one shown except the tags inside, wherein the one shown is like cotton/fabric,the one I received has silky tags.How can I verify it's authenticity?
flying potato You can use a wet cloth and wipe the stains off or you can use a tooth brush. The backpack is made of recycled plastic and polyester, so the colours won't wear off.
Amita Joneja Probably a classic aluminium/aluminum zipper, but I’ll see If there’s any info about that. Edit: i think they’re made from recyclable material just like the bottle fabric.
Re-Kanken in my opinion is not even water resistant. A little splash of water did not 'bead' on the surface, 95% soaked straight into the fabric. A heavier spray equivalent to a light/ medium rain soaked through to the inside. This is very disappointing as the bag is brand new and I want it for use in an area where we get sudden heavy showers. What product can I use to make this water resistant, if not waterproof.

can u compare a fake with a real one ? cos I recently got one at a much cheaper price this not sure of authenticity but seller keeps claiming it is real and they don’t sell fakes and after looking at a few video it kinda looks real but still I’m not sure ? pls help
꧁Gabriel Alvarado꧂ the compartment located in the back of the Backpack was made for the seat pad that adds comfort for the back. Although, I don’t see why you can’t put your laptop bag in it.
jorgeshss Okay, poorly constructed comment. Sorry! Of course you can put laptops into these backpacks. The back pocket is for the padded seat, but like the previous commenter, i Don’t see why you can’t put a laptop in the bag. They literally made versions that are sized for laptops, but If a laptop fits into any of these, you can put it in there.
I love my rekanken in the slate color. I've had it for over a year and use it daily and it still looks brand new
Just ordered the Red one online, can’t wait till see it person so I can use it on my trip!
burnoutjunkie42 hey! I see ur comment abt the re kanken in red, how do u like it so far? Im planning to get one so im really excited to see your thoights abt it!
After 4 years, does the re-känken performed better than the classic kanken in terms of durability?
Fjällräven Re-Kånken is the best! Thanks man

is the rekanken water resistant and can remove the dirt by wiping wif wet tissues?
Yes, it's water-resistant. I'd use a damp towel to spot clean.
How to remove the fold lines?

Hey fellow gooner! I have a plan to buy one. Thanks for the review.
Boom Xhaka Saka Laca! Happy to help. Enjoy the backpack!

The side of the zippers where they meet has "SCN" vertically. Hope that helps.

It’s not about the rekånken, but it should help!
May I know the size of this bag is mini or regular?
This is the regular size.
I have this bag
What is the difference in colour between this re-kanken (sunflower yellow) and the normal kanken (warm yellow)? Is it more bright? Or dark? Can't really tell the difference when seeing pictures of both.
We haven’t seen the warm yellow in person but based on pictures the sunflower is a brighter and lighter yellow.
aren´t the straps way too thin? would consider buying if they were more comfortable
They are thin. Fjallraven made padding you can attach to the straps to make them comfier - $20.
Im getting the midnight blue one!!!!!
Good review
can you please do a review of the rekanken in the colour red
Maria
It’s the same thing no matter the color.
Will this one last as long as the original? The material seems a bit flimsy in comparison to the classic vinyl / polypropylene made backpack. I’m not if it will hold up as well.
Had the same thoughts. It's holding up. It has better color fastness than the Vinylon.
Tekuben Prime can you update is it still holding up I just got one today and really want to know if the material is good
Can you put this backpack in the washing machine? I want to buy it for camp but it'd get pretty dirty.
No, not machine washable.
I've just received my Fjallraven rekanken from Amazon everything looked like the one shown except the tags inside, wherein the one shown is like cotton/fabric,the one I received has silky tags.How can I verify it's authenticity?
Is it from the Fjällräven seller?
Michelle Lee
ua-cam.com/video/sm0exLuO7yg/v-deo.html this should help :D
Does re-kanken and kanken no 2. need a waxing ?
Also - can we see a water repellent test al three kanken types of backpacks?
Is it still water resistant tho?
Is there the little Swedish flag on the inside?
Moo- Ey
Every Kånken has one :D.
Are they waterproof? can it handle rain?
Sofia Morais
Yes, it’s water-resistant!
is there color transfer with the rekanken?
No, it's made to be more colorfast than the Kånken classics.
How do you clean a re-kanken backpack?
Is this waterproof?
It’s water resistant.
Hi i also have a bag like this, but how can i clean it tho?
flying potato You can use a wet cloth and wipe the stains off or you can use a tooth brush. The backpack is made of recycled plastic and polyester, so the colours won't wear off.
just put it in a washing macine
Bubblegum
No!
Bubblegum
DO NOT put in the washing machine! It’s not washing machine safe.
What material are the zippers and buttons made of?
Amita Joneja
Probably a classic aluminium/aluminum zipper, but I’ll see If there’s any info about that.
Edit: i think they’re made from recyclable material just like the bottle fabric.
Why there is no Swedish flag inside? I have a Red re-kanken but there is no flag also, but some of them have it. Do you know the right answear? 🤔
They didnt add them until recently
Cool
Re-Kanken in my opinion is not even water resistant. A little splash of water did not 'bead' on the surface, 95% soaked straight into the fabric.

What product can I use to make this water resistant, if not waterproof.
Jay May You can buy the wax from Fjallraven to wax your bag (or anything else) to make it waterproof.
Amaris Wang no, the wax only works for G100 fabrics, used in the kanken no. 2
Jay May
You can get water reppellant sprays for fabrics.
please the next video review Fjällräven sling bag navy
Does a re-kanken has no swedish flag?
The one we got doesn’t. It was from 2 years ago. Newer ones might have it.
is kur pirkote ir ar atlaiko? aciu :)

Laptops are not supposed to be put into those bags...read the instructions
What why

They're so fucking expensive ridiculous
You need to invest in a dead cat for your microphone...
You are not pronouncing Kanken correctly. Its "kenkn" not "kanken"!
u talk to much

It’s literally a review.
