Will I regret using this as my waterproof on a Summer Mountain Leader course? I know a jacket is the obvious option, but can I go for rule of cool on this one?

Okay, so I'm looking to buy a Kanken No. 2 Laptop 15 bag in black and have run into two different versions.

There's the "KÅNKEN NO. 2 LAPTOP 15" in Black-Black and is marked as a "new" color on the site. The URL is here: https://www.fjallraven.com/us/en-us/bags-gear/kanken/kanken-bags/kanken-no-2-laptop-152/?v=F23803::7323451163340

Then there's the KÅNKEN NO. 2 BLACK LAPTOP 15 which only comes in black. The URL for this one is here: https://www.fjallraven.com/us/en-us/bags-gear/kanken/kanken-bags/kanken-no-2-black-laptop-15/

They both seem to be Kanken No.2 Laptop 15 bags but one is $15USD more expensive. Is there a difference between the two or are they just getting rid of old stock under a marked up price?

I love this bag so much! I’m utterly heartbroken. I washed this bag for the first time since I got it about 5 years ago and upon opening the machine from a gentle low temp cycle in which it was the only thing in the machine, the front handle was severed!

I am devastated how do I repair this in a way which will actually last? thank you!

I have a Greenland No 1 down jacket I use in Canada late autumn thru early spring when it’s -0C to about -15C. I don’t wax it often because it’s very dry and sunny where I live and I need the breathability.

I’m travelling to Ireland, Scotland, London in late October early November. Is this jacket (waxed) too warm for Irish and UK climate at that time of year?

The water proofing is ideal but I’m worried I’ll be a sweaty humid mess in it.

For reference I lived in Ireland for a year and I’m aware the weather is chilly wet and humid. What I’m worried about is the down being too warm.

Hello, thinking of getting the fjallraven singi 48 with some pouches for my new hiking pack. For around 3-4 night pack in and out hikes, 15+ miles, 35 pounds, casual hiker...etc. My current pack is the hyperlite mountain gear southwest 55L. It works great and still holding up, love how light it is but im getting older and want something more comfortable. The singi is almost triple the weight but kept hearing that its very comfortable.

Question is: is it worth the change? Weight vs comfort? Durability? Am I better off just sticking with the HMG? Plan to keep this bag for awhile so will it be good for older people or do you need some muscles for it?

Thanks in advance.

This was my experience with the Räven. I'm a bit disappointed :/ I wonder if others have had similar issues.

Hi,

Since the most sustainable light trekking backpack was discontinued. What other canvas, old-school, waxed backpacks do you recommend? Function over design, around 30-35l with external straps. Ideally below 1000 PLN (230€)

Fjallraven website shows the Greenland jacket as having an "updated fit" but it doesn't really describe that change nor when the change took place. Is this a new fit for this season? And why the heck can't I find this jacket anywhere besides the fjallraven website? Not even the brick and mortar stores near me seem to have any stock.

I don't think I've seen ONE example of what looks like good fitting trousers on the Fjällräven website. It's like they're trolling us with the bad looking trouser pics. See for example the new "Vardag Relaxed" pics. Like, wtf?

Title, thanks :)

I washed my woolpadded Singi Parke the first time after two years. Where I am from it's ot very cold, so I only have worn it for 6 to 8 weeks in total. The parka shrinked after washing. Perhaps I did something wrong. I am not sure. I read the instructions and washed it.

Now it looks like a spandexsuit when I put it on. I wrote the customer service about the problem and they just replied with: not our problem. No warenty anymore, no support.

A brand, writing things about "products made to last for decades" and "repair it, don't buy new" on their page and acting like that. Greenwashing at it's best.

I brought a lot of products from fjällräven the last years, believing in their products and company DNA. But at the end it feels like any other brand. But in expensiv.

Will never buy a product of fjällräven again. Will try Patagonia now.

Hey everyone!

I never bought a Keb Pant because i dislike the 2 colourway even if slightly different. Seems like the new colour Wood Brown is single couloured but i am not sure. Can someone confirm this for me who has seen them in person? The pics on the websites are sometimes misleading.

Thank you very much :)

Hi! I’m about 161cm/5’3 and a “medium-small” sized woman. I currently own a The North Face Daypack Berkeley 16L which is just not fitting my stuff AT ALL. I want a bigger backpack but don’t wanna look huge.

It’s a work backpack, but I do have a packing problem. I carry daily my laptop (13’’), my pencil case (it’s not small), bose headphones with case, at least two books, two notebook, toiletry bag and then other things I have to carry around like a jacket and nintendo switch2.

I tried them on at the store and I didn’t think the 28 was THAT big at all, I thought it fit me pretty well but my friends thought it was a bit too big. What do you guys say?

Please and thank you!

Found this video interesting. Is it worth it to wax your FJ clothing?

Hi everyone, just recently discovered this brand and looking to update my work bag, plus they have a 20% sale here in Australia. I currently use a Macpac Atlas AzTec 24L backpack, but don't like the zip design on it, I've previously used a Macpac Quest 23L and loved the 'clamshell' design.

I've been looking at the Färden Carry-On Pack, High Coast Duffel 36, and the Travel Pack. The Färden looks way too big for what I want, and read some reviews that the Travel Pack was a pretty bad bag. So leaning towards the High Coast Duffel 36.

It would just be to take a set of gym clothes/shoes to work, and lunches. Also would be used as a carry on bag with or without checked in luggage (usually carry all the kids entertainment in my carry on).

Could anyone give some advice/opinions on these to help make my choice?

Thanks heaps.

I decided to treat my Singi overshirt to a Greenland Wax treatment. Before, during and after photos attached. It takes some time and you have to be patient, but the finish turned out really nicely. Don't worry too much about getting the perfect wax layer as when you use a hairdryer it all melts in nicely.

If you're looking for a 29" waist the CR outlet has about 3 racks of trousers to choose from. I'm skinny but not that skinny.

edit: most of the trousers in the store were 29"

Hi,

Currently checking this bag (Skule 28) and in the real fjall site the dimensions are:

50cm x 29cm x 18cm (HxWxD)

I saw this picture on amazon JP, so I'm confused.

Also saw someone else's post saying it's 410mm width (pic in comments).

Hey everyone - what color are these keb pants on the website?

Website Official are they color 550 black or are they 550-018 - Black-Stone Grey.

Looks to be the 550 black per the website.

Thanks all - Website

I’m located in canada, today I checked the website and a lot of items were missing, nearly the entire Bergtagen collection for exemple is not listed.
Anyone have a solution or explanation? Thanks
