A Sustainable Choice, But Not A Comfortable Carry

I purchased the Kånken Totepack for my wife, drawn in by the strong reputation for longevity and the brand's commitment to sustainability. On those fronts, the bag seems to deliver. The material feels robust, and the aesthetics are exactly what we expected—simple and classic. However, the main issue is one of basic function: it is very uncomfortable to wear as a backpack. The straps are thin, unpadded, and placed awkwardly, causing the bag to sit poorly on the back, especially when it has anything of substance inside. It feels more like an afterthought than a true backpack option. The whole point of a "totepack" is to have the versatility to switch, but the backpack function is so frustratingly poor that it makes the feature practically unusable for anything more than a five-minute carry. It's truly frustrating to have to return an item that was meant to be a permanent, sustainable purchase—a "buy it for life" item. The design falls flat on the comfort of its most useful carrying method, which completely undermines the long-term investment. 2/5 Stars

Great Bag, Only One Design Issue!

Love the fabric and colors! The straps fit me great, but I’m a fairly petite person. Only trouble I have with the straps is that there needs to be some way (button or clip) to attach the backpack straps near the top. If the bag is full, the side with the backpack straps will slouch down. There’s got to be a cool way to fix this. Otherwise I love it!

Great All Rounder Bag

I bought this on a whim prior to a short trip to Dublin. it is now my go to bag, it is absolutely brilliant, switching from backpack to shoulder bag makes it super flexible and a bit of a tardis with the amount of stuff i can jam into it.

I Love This Bag

I have had this bag in Forest Green for a week. I love the style, the weight of the bag and how it can carry a lot. I use it as an everyday bag. I love the shade of Forest Green -- I love green anyways but the Forest Green is really nice. The zipper works well the strap length is perfect. I do think the seat pad that comes in the bag is useless. It made for a child size person, not an adult. I took it out as I saw no need for it.

Very Light

I love this bag. It is very light to carry my laptop to work. The I just love the different options to carry it but my biggest complaint is that they don’t make it bigger. My laptop is 14 » and it just fits thought.
