Why We Love It

The features that make this product stand out from the competition.

Renewable wax finish

Greenland Wax can be reapplied at home instead of treating weather resistance as a disposable coating.

Durable natural patina

G-1000 HeavyDuty and leather are designed to wear in rather than depend on a pristine surface finish.

Useful removable seat pad

The back stiffener doubles as a simple dry sitting surface for commuting, parks or travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the capacity, dimensions, and weight of the standard Kånken No. 2?

The standard Kånken No. 2 has a 16-liter volume and measures 38 × 27 × 13 cm (15 × 10.6 × 5.1 in). Its listed weight is 550 g (1.21 lb), providing the relevant size and weight figures for planning everyday use.

What materials are used in the Kånken No. 2?

The pack uses double-waxed G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco fabric made from 65% polyester and 35% cotton, with G-1000 Lite Eco in the interior back pocket. It also has leather handles and details plus textile shoulder pads; the listing notes that the leather is a non-textile material of animal origin.

How is the Kånken No. 2 organized, and what is included?

The wide-opening main compartment is designed for easier packing and retrieval. The pack also has an interior back pocket, two open side pockets, and a zippered front pocket. A removable padded G-1000 HeavyDuty seat pad is stored in the back pocket and can be used as a sitting pad.

Can the Kånken No. 2’s water resistance be renewed?

Yes. The exact product listing says the pack’s G-1000 impregnation can be improved with Greenland Wax, which also increases durability. Care guidance for Greenland Wax describes rubbing it onto G-1000 fabric and melting it in to create a more water-resistant, durable surface, so it can be used to refresh this model’s treatment over time.
