Straight backs are happy backs. Kånken was launched in 1978 to spare the backs of school children. Back problems had begun to appear in increasingly younger age groups and shoulder bags were popular. The backpack soon became a common sight at pre-schools and nature schools around the country. The idea of using a backpack quickly spread, as did Kånken. It is just as popular today, and an excellent choice for school, outings or biking to work. Kånken is made out of durable, lightweight Vinylon F. The large main compartment with a large opening makes it easy to put in/take out items. Two side pockets and a zippered pocket in the front. Features a handle at the top, narrow, supple shoulder straps, and a logo that doubles as a reflector. Also contains a removable pad in the pocket to maintain the Kanken’s rigidity and doubles as a sitting pad for outings and hiking trips.
