Buyer’s Review

Great back pack! It has plenty of pockets, Including hidden ones on the back of the bag. There are 5 zippered compartments, not including the main two. The outside is slick and water resistant. The inside has two pockets, an inner zipper, and can fit my 15 inch dell xps laptop with ease. It still looks incredible, and professional. I don’t know how it will last, but will update review if need be.

Love the pockets, and love the look.

Buyer’s Review

JanSport is the best brand for backpacks because they are stylish, durable and have a FABULOUS repair program. If you buy a JanSport you have purchased a product that lasts a lifetime! Whenever our kids (or us) break a zipper or wear out a seam, we simply contact the company and, for the cost of shipping, get it repaired quickly and well. The only down side is the sheer amount of colors and designs to pick from…but that, in my opinion, is a great problem to have!

Buyer’s Review

I have no idea why this backpack isn’t more widely known or talked about! After visiting REI multiple times and never truly loving any pack I tried on, I felt like settling for something just meh. REI held a few deuter packs, but I never knew this specific one existed. It’s incredibly better engineered than any of the basic packs that Osprey and Gregory make, and significantly less $$ for a lot more features.

I extend my thanks to German engineering and this company for including it all in one pack. The mesh and bent frame that keeps the pack from touching your back is a blessing, as instead of being a sweaty mess I only had to deal with my shoulders under the straps getting sweaty. The collapsability and ample straps allow for the pack to be used comfortably even when filled to a fraction of it’s capacity. Also, I love outside pockets in general, and I’m so glad this pack offered so many pockets and zippers from the outside.

I’ve used the pack on weekend trips twice so far, and I feel like I’ve made the best purchase of my young adult life. I fully expect this pack to last decades as you can tell quality and functionality were huge considerations when this pack was designed. Hats off to deuter for not breaking the bank, and simply making a pack that blows everyone out of the water.

Buyer’s Review

Excellent backpack, used this on a recent business trip to China, a place where pickpocketing is common and where you have to be aware of your surroundings. This is a very compact backpack and is very comfortable to wear, I used it for carrying a small 13″ laptop, 10″ tablet and a set of Noise Cancelling Headphones in a case, along with some other misc. items and documents, but from there it was quite full. So keep in mind that this is a very minimalist back-pack with limited storage for overnight or several day trips.

I also had some isssues with the 3 code lock and setting my own code which involved a hard reset by pressing on the silver pin and turning the dials till it reset. From there, I was able to set my own code. The ability to swtich from a backpack to a briefcase is a nice design as well.

It only has one visible zippered pocket on the side which has the USB cord for a powerbank, this pocket is good enough for carrying a phone or other misc. items., the main zippered compartment is difficult to open, for the obvious reason, but the adjustable or full 180 degree open is nice and ideal.

Build quailty is good, comes well packed in a nice box with paperwork to check authenticity online with a code.

“This is an excellent backpack clearly of a high production quality. It carries all of my supplies for school (a ton of books, papers, and folders, as well as some clothes) with some room to spare, without looking packed. It has ample space and functionality while still looking stylish and minimal. It doesn’t have the excess of zippers, useless compartments, or the long adjustment straps that are hallmarks of “freshman” backpacks. Overall, it remains functional without looking dorky, and it comes at a fair price. I really don’t know what else I could ask for in a backpack, and I am so glad that I bought it!”

I have four kids, eldest 10, youngest 3- and they all use kanken’s for school and daycare. The size is amazing for holding what they need to and from school, even chrome books. I did a lot of research before shelling out the money. My son could previously tear the fabric on other $130+ bags and he cannot seem to wreck the fabric of the kanken, and shockingly they don’t hold stains either! It has been a lot of fun seeing my kids enjoy these bags.
