Ake Nordin – Founder of Fjallraven – 1960

Fjallraven has been known for building high quality, innovative gear since 1960 and to this day this hasn’t changed. The Kanken backpack made Fjallraven famous the world over, but the Vintage series of backpacks truly shows how Fjallraven has mastered the art of bringing old and new together. At first glance the Vintage backpacks look simple with their two side pockets and one main compartment. All pockets are closed with a simple leather strap and metal buckles. That is where the simplicity ends. This pack is manufactured with a G-1000 outer. This amazing material is more durable than denim and can easily be made more waterproof by applying Fjallraven’s Greenland wax! The complexity doesn’t end there. The suspension system is a lightweight frame system with mesh backing to allow for airflow between your back and the bag. This prevents sweating when using the backpack keeping the experience as pleasant as possible.

The Vintage packs are available in a wide variety of colors. They are available in both a 20 and 30 litre configuration making this pack an ideal choice as an everyday backpack or a great bag for an overnight trek!

When it comes to environmental stewardship, Fjallraven is a leader in the outdoor industry. With many packs that are climate compensated, clothing made from recycled and organic materials and the introduction of their new Eco-Shell material that is made from fully recycled materials and is fully recyclable at end of life, Fjallraven seeks to ensure that the outdoors are there to be enjoyed by many generations to come. With that, Fjallraven has made a very special edition of their legendary Kanken backpack that benefits the preservation of their namesake the Arctic Fox. This backpack that hasn’t changed one bit since it’s initial release in 1978 is made in white to represent the color of the Arctic fox as well as a small embroidery of the eyes and nose of this magestic animal. To add to this, Fjallraven will donate 10 euros from the sale of this special backpack to benefit the preservation of the Arctic Fox. Add in the fact that this bag is fully climate compensated (like all kanken backpacks) and you have a bag that is not only stylish but good for the planet!
