FAQs
What is the history of the Fjällräven brand?
Fjällräven, meaning 'The Arctic Fox' in Swedish, was founded in 1960 by Åke Nordin. The company began with the first external-frame rucksack and has grown to offer durable outdoor clothing and gear renowned for functionality and clean design.
What is the Fjällräven Kånken backpack known for?
The Kånken was introduced in 1978 to prevent back issues among Swedish schoolchildren. Its rectangular shape, lightweight Vinylon F fabric and simple design have made it an enduring icon of practical outdoor essentials.
Are Fjällräven clothing items environmentally friendly?
Yes. Since 2015 all Fjällräven lines have been free of PFCs, and the Re-Kånken backpack is made entirely from recycled plastic bottles, reflecting the brand’s commitment to sustainable practices.
What materials are commonly used in Fjällräven Clothing?
Key fabrics include G-1000 (a polyester–cotton blend treated with Greenland Wax for water resistance), Vinylon F (used in Kånken packs) and Eco-Shell (a breathable, waterproof recycled-polyester material).
How do I maintain and care for my Fjällräven Clothing?
Apply Greenland Wax to G-1000 garments sparingly and re-wax as needed. Hand-wash Kånken packs in lukewarm water with a soft brush. Follow the care label on down items, using gentle洗 and thorough drying to preserve loft.
What is Greenland Wax, and how is it used?
Greenland Wax is a paraffin-and-beeswax blend designed to boost water resistance in G-1000 fabric. To apply, rub the block over the fabric, then gently heat with an iron or hairdryer so the wax melts and bonds to the fibres.
