The Fjällräven Kanken Classic Pack is dirt- and water-resistant so your stuff stays clean and dry, even when it's torrential outside. Plus, it's very trendy at the moment. There's nothing worse than getting caught in the rain during your commute, only to open your backpack and find that everything inside is soaked through. The Fjällräven Kanken Classic Pack is our favorite weatherproof option. It keeps your electronics and papers dry, even if you're caught off-guard by a rainstorm.
Now, there are a lot of weatherproof backpacks, but their designs tend to skew toward the outdoors world. The Fjällräven Kanken isn't only fun to pronounce, but it has a more urban look that fits better as an everyday style. We also like the durable construction and the large opening, and that it comes in so many styles.
Though it lacks the sophisticated storage solutions of, say, the Incase Icon, it's still roomy enough to house necessary items, including laptops up to 15-inches. Plus, it's made of durable nylon material that is resistant to both dirt and water damage and easy to clean. In addition to the main compartment, there are front and side pockets where you can store items that need to be accessible while you travel.
The Fjällräven Kanken Classic Pack is remarkably well-rated. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon based on more than 2,100 reviews. "Even when I'm carrying heavy things, I don't feel much of the weight on my shoulders," one customer writes. "It is definitely spacious and can hold numerous things; nice and rectangular shape which makes organizing easy."
Pros: Made of dirt- and water-resistant material that's easy to clean, multiple pockets, includes a laptop sleeve
Cons: Doesn't have as many storage options as some of the other packs on this list
