    Thank you for your honest review about Kanken, i still dont know what to buy anyway thats why ive been watching lots of videos in YT to see if its worth it.. But even if its not worth it there's something in Kanken that i love.. Im in between buying Classic or the Kaken 17" but my laptop wont fit in there anyway.. Cause mine is 17.3 or maybe i should just buy another bag for my laptop? I need your help guys.

    • @AlanTamIB
      @AlanTamIB  Před 5 lety +5

      Akane Tsuyumi If you are going to carry your laptop with you everyday then I do not suggest buying this backpack because your laptop won’t fit, but if you won’t be carrying your laptop everyday then I think this backpack will be amazing for anything else! It’s really cute! You can use it for anything as well like it’s really good for a travel backpack and a school backpack, so it’s really versatile.

    I was thinking about buying a kanken but after August I kind of lost interest because of the price, but recently I remembered that my friend had a kanken that I never saw her use after the first semester. I asked her if she didn’t want it any more and if she didn’t if she would consider letting me buy it , she said yes so I got it for way less, I really suggest using apps/sights such as depop ( sorry if I spelt it wrong) if you would like this bag and can not afford the high price. When considering buying this bag I remembered that you could get it in many different colours and that black was an option, being a student means putting my bag down on fields, in dirty classroom and much more meaning I need a bag where stains or marks don’t usually show up. The colour black was another reason I brought this bag off my friend. I am a tall girl meaning when I tried this bag on it looked quite small in comparison to my body ( I have the classic) so that is something to keep in mind, but all body’s are different so my kanken might look different on my body compared to yours. As I was talking about stains, the kanken is not machine washable meaning you need to soak it or sponge wash off marks, this could be different depending on how worn out your kanken is. I decided that I wasn’t going to wash mine because it was already fragile and the the rough conditions of the washing machine could break some of the stitching. When I first opened my kanken I checked to make sure it was real and I was glad to find out it was, please consider watching a video on CZcams or anywhere else on real vs fake kankens the signs, before purchasing a kanken it could save you a lot of money especially when not buying it off the official website. I loaded six normal sized textbooks into the back slip in my classic kanken and still had plenty of space for other items, was glad to know this becuase one of my main concerns was that the kanken wasn’t going to be big enough for school, with this i have realised that I would have space in my bag for a water bottle because the outside pockets weren’t big enough for my particular water bottle.
    I hope this helped! ☺️

  • @Jane-sb8zr
    @Jane-sb8zr Před 4 lety +2

    For binders I suggest getting binders that have flexible plastic. There usually aren’t pockets on the side of these binders. Binders like these aren’t hard cover so they won’t be as heavy or as bulky.

      Zamorxx 23 I read somewhere online that you are not supposed to wash it in a washer and dryer. So what I was planning to do soon is to just let it sit in a tub of warm water with soap for a bit and find a soft brush like a toothbrush to scrub some areas.

    i don’t know how anyone uses a kanken... i’m in middle school and i could fit max like 4 folders and two notebooks. forget about your giant pencil case. my glasses were close to getting crushed and every time i reached for my ipad or a folder way in the back i would scratch my hand. i couldn’t fit a regular water bottle (disposable), let alone use my hydroflask. i’m small so i got the normal size, maybe it would work out if your tall and carry a minimal amount of things. front pocket can barely fit a pencil. don’t waste your money.

      This backpack definitely isn’t for middle school, I agree. I’m a college student so I don’t have many classes meaning that I don’t have to carry lots of stuff and everything I need fits. I only carry a folder, pencil case, and either a laptop or tablet, and a water bottle and it fits. the classic kanken is for people who have to carry stuff but not too much
