1. Fjällräven Kånken
The mini version is suitable for both small children and grown adults looking for a small backpack. It is perfect for carrying a change of clothes for preschool or food on an outing, and it serves as a stylish everyday bag for books, water bottles, fruit, and more. The shoulder straps are long and adjustable, fitting both small and large backs. They can be secured with a buckle to keep them out of the way when tightened. The material is durable, lightweight Vinylon F fabric that resists dirt and moisture. The main compartment features a large zipper opening, making packing and unpacking easy. There are two flat side pockets and a zippered pocket on the front. The included PE foam seat cushion can be stored in the inner back pocket and also prevents the contents of the main compartment from pressing against the back. There are carrying handles on top and narrow, adjustable shoulder straps. The logo on the front is reflective, and there is an address label in the main compartment.
2. Dakine Campus
The popular Campus series from the manufacturer expands with the Dakine Campus M 25L. This modern school and leisure backpack is a strong contender for the next favorite backpack—and for good reason. Aside from the numerous vibrant, eye-catching, or subtle colors and patterns, this medium-sized all-rounder offers even more storage space, multiple zippered pockets, and plenty of practical features. But it's not just the new features that impress with this backpack; Dakine has also retained the particularly popular equipment details. For instance, the insulated cooler compartment at the front has proven to be very useful during the summer. School lunches, as well as snacks for hiking, stay fresh longer there, and even the chocolate bar doesn't melt as quickly. With a volume of 25 liters, it's a comfortable size that provides enough storage space while also being suitable for hikes. This way, those who wish can dive straight from school into leisure adventures. Simply take the sensitive laptop out of the backpack and pack the change of clothes. Fresh water can be carried in two water bottles, as they fit neatly into the side pockets on the left and right. The modern backpack, ready for any urban or leisure adventure, is particularly comfortable to wear. This is ensured by both the soft, pre-shaped shoulder straps and the breathable, anatomically shaped back panel. This prevents pressure points while wearing, and the backpack adapts better to the body's shape. With the Dakine Campus M 25L, everyday life in the city quickly turns into a varied adventure playground.
