Review: I spent a while weighing up whether or not the Kånken Mini would be worth it, and eventually decided that it would be. I was right. It's the perfect size for a day bag: you can fit a book, bottle of water (I've got a 500ml Chilly's bottle [also recommended] to go in there, but have also fit a 750ml plastic water bottle in there), medicine/make-up bag, notebook, snacks, phone charger...pretty much everything you'd need for a day out. The fact that it's a rucksack means it's kinder on one's back than a satchel or handbag; in fact, this and the Herschel I've got for work have made a significant difference in this regard. The straps take a bit of working out, and I think they might dig in if they were too tight, you had lots of heavy stuff in the bag, and/or you were wearing a vest or tank-top, but I don't think it's a big enough problem every day to make the Kånken not worth it - especially as you can't really fit lots of heavy stuff in the Mini! You can get padded straps from Fjällräven for some bags, so that's something to consider if you were concerned. The Mini has a few sections: a small one on the front, at the bottom, which is good for (surprisingly) small things, such as keys; the main compartment, which has a separate pocket at the back and features a light bit of polystyrene (?) - quite thin and almost long as the bag, this seems to help the bag keep shape, but is, apparently, for you to use as a makeshift cushion if you find yourself needing one when out and about; and two pockets on either side of the bag, which are, irritatingly, not big enough to hold water, but can contain something like a phone/iPod or card wallet (if you're sure you're not near pickpockets!). I haven't tested the bag in the rain yet, but the material seems relatively hardy and durable... Fjällräven/desertcart say it's made of 'Vinylon F, a highly durable, abrasion and water resistant fabric that softens with age and washes and becomes increasingly robust as the fibers in the fabric tighten from use', so maybe it is waterproof! I'd still carry valuables/electrical things in a waterproof case/bag, though.. There's no aeration system, so it's been pretty warm and a little sweaty in the hot weather as it sits against the bag; the best way to deal with this is to put a cold compress (acquired from somewhere like Boots and kept in the freezer) in the back pocket/section...it's delightful while it lasts, though it doesn't last for as long as you'd like it to, alas! The colour is obviously a matter of preference, but I think the Kånken runs a bit lighter in the flesh/material than in photos; I got the granite and find it a lighter grey than it looks on desertcart/the Fjällräven website. It's fine, but I wouldn't have picked it, if that makes sense. In short: get one of these! It's useful, practical and good for your back.
Review: Carino, piccolo ma allo stesso tempo capiente, con tante taschine comode. Comoda zip che apre quasi del tutto lo zaino, se serve.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it worth it?**
A: I’m still deciding. Had to send mine back due to a factory defect. Think I will order again.  Best thing for you would be to try to see one in person. Dillard’s and Nordstrom sell them so if you have one near by you can actually feel one. They are rather stiff, but some of the pix I’ve seen show them more flexibile once broken in. My dilemma is that I am an middle aged woman (young at heart) and don’t want to look like I’m trying to be a fashion bug.

**Q: does this backpack fit a binder? i am wondering if it will work for my first grader?**
A: The mini is just 11.4" (29 cm) x 7.8" (19 cm) x 5.1" (13 cm) so a binder would not fit comfortably in this pack.

**Q: Where is made?**
A: Hi istmi,John M.W. is correct that some of our Kankens are made in Vietnam, however we do also have manufacturing facilities in China as well that produce the same products. Hope that helps! Thanks,Fjallraven

**Q: Does this backpack have have a waterbottle pouch?**
A: not really, but have two exterior side multi-function pockets

I love these backpacks ( I now own six of them in different colours!) The mini is the size of a medium handbag and therefore ideal for work as I can comfortably fit in an umbrella, purse, glasses, make up bag, I pad, phone etc and still have room for a flask. It's really comfortable to carry on the shoulder and the dual handles make accessing the inside really easy. Highly recommend. Watch out for fakes though, I received one a few weeks ago and returned it pronto.
