Review on Fjallraven Kanken Laptop Backpack Everyday Backpacks for Laptop Backpacks by Stacy Edwards

Revainrating 3 out of 5

My clothes got wet, my shoulders rubbed

I bought this bag for a trip to the beach and stretched it as an everyday bag for my laptop, lunch, water bottle, etc. I got caught in the rain with an umbrella and everything on my bag was wet. I sat down for a minute and everything underneath was wet. I'm so glad my laptop wasn't there. This bag is uncomfortable to carry due to the fact that the seams connecting the straps from the top handle to the back of the bag protrude and hit the back of the shoulders. I tried to adjust everything but due to the weight of a full water bottle and a small frozen lunch box I couldn't tighten it enough to stop the cuts so I just had to carry it loosely on one shoulder which made it pointless, to carry a pack at all. I'm starting to think this might be one of those fakes, although Kanken says Revain is a verified seller. This is the right size for a personal item on an airplane. Nice. The fabric is nice and sturdy. But that's all. I believe that for this price we could all find a more functional bag that is actually water resistant.
