I love this backpack! I'm 5' tall and small framed, and I'd originally purchased the Kanken Mini because I thought the smaller version would be better for my size - I use a backpack in place of a daily purse / gym bag, and I didn't want to look like I was headed off to grade school or embarking on a trek up Mt. Everest every time I carried the thing around. The Mini is a great size (for me) for regular usage, but I also wanted something that could carry an extra sweater, a larger water bottle and a few more items. I was worried this regular Kanken size would be too bulky, but even when packed full, I'm pretty sure it does't look overwhelming.
Pros: Size - when lightly filled (and without the foam back insert), the bag lays casually and loosely and looks smaller and compact. Aesthetics - I bought the black Re-Kanken, and while it *does* indeed love collecting lint and pet fur, it's nothing that a quick lint-roll can't fix. I love the Re-Kanken design with the embroidered logo, as it's much more understated and less in-your-face than the classic red & white patch on the original design; I'm in my 30s, and I can use this bag without it looking like I just stole it from a kid at a bus stop. Function - there's just enough organization to keep things in place while not being overly complicated. The front zip pocket holds chapstick, pens and smaller items, the large main compartment is roomy enough to fit a ton of stuff and the slip-in back pocket is great for a tablet, loose papers, etc. I use the side pockets to hold my phone and some other random items, as they're deep enough to ensure that stuff won't slip out when I'm at the gym. I love the top carry handles, as they make picking up the bag super easy and also can be used to carry the backpack around in your hand like a tote. The zipper (and optional button handle clasp) feels much more secure than a drawstring closure or flap, and I don't need to worry that all my crap will fall out if the bag tips over. Price point - $90 for a solid, quality bag is worth it, to me!
Cons: I don't mind this, but if you're looking to use the side pockets for a water bottle, you better have a *very* narrow bottle - I have Yeti water bottles (of all sizes) and they sure as hell wouldn't fit into those side pockets if their water bottle lives depended on it. This isn't meant to be a technical hiking backpack, and I actually like the simple straps (as opposed to bulky, padded, sternum-strapped straps), but I took one dinky star off for the fact that the straps *can* be a tad uncomfortable if you really load the bag up (i.e. when using it as a travel carry-on).
TL; DR: This bag is great, buy one, you won't regret it (especially with Zappos' return policy and great customer service!).
I LOVE THIG BAG SO MUCH! It’s the ideal bag for travel whether flying or driving. I’ve taken this on both international flights and road trips and it’s amazing how much it fits! My iPad Air, passports, tickets, wallet, snacks, diaper stuff and change of clothes for the kids, etc. I have actually stopped using my diaper bag since I got this. It’s so much easier to have this (very cute) bag instead and to be hands free! The pink rose is a great color and matches my Marmot parka perfectly. It’s a slightly purple tinted pink but lovely. I’d love to add to my kanken collection but I already have two and any more would be excessive....that plum is tempting me though! I much prefer the size of this bag to the mini which was actually quite small in person and I’m a very petite person so I thought would be better initially. Worth the money as I’ve used it a ton in the short time I’ve had it already.
This is a fantastic backpack. I love that the zippers go down almost all the way on both sides. It holds so much more than expected. It is simple, straight-forward, and so so useful. I use it as my bag for work, and like with the Re-Kanken that the logo blends in with the rest of the bag.
the hype is legit. this seemingly little bag holds a lot of stuff and is very durable. the straps are thin and don't seem like they are sturdy but they most definitely are. the most useful aspect of this bag is the tiny straps on top of the bag, i think i use it more than the back straps (slip my arm through and hold it like a purse) because it's so convenient and seems even more sturdy.
