FjällrävenFjallraven Kanken Bottle Pocket

As many others have said, this accesory helps optimize the inner space of the main compartment. Also, the drawstring helps keep the bottle secured (think a free sip 24 oz owala, an 18 oz yeti, or a smaller one, like an asobu). Definitely a great add on to make the best of your backpack.

Easily holds my 40 oz owala free sip but I don’t think it would hold more than that.Made of the same durable material as the bags.Fits both my kanken backpack, kanken tote pack, and kanken mini tote pack.Can make the bag a little uneven in weight distribution with bigger bottles but I think it’s worth it.

I purchased this for my young daughter’s kanken backpack. It slides nicely onto the side pocket, matches well, and seems well constructed.The biggest issue my daughter has is that the holder slides off too easily. There are many days that she brings her bag home from school with the water bottle holder inside her bag. She is young so I’m sure her backpack is carried every which way, especially on the bus. But it would be nice if there was a way to fasten it in place. I may have to put a few stitches around the water bottle holder frame to hold it to the backpack.

I have a 13" laptop Kanken and this fits perfectly in the side pockets (you won't be able to really use those pockets with this in tho). My 32 oz wide mouth Hydro Flask fits perfectly and I can cinch the drawstring top to cover the bottle completely. The bottle will fit with a boot but it's hard to insert or remove. A 40 oz bottle also fits without fearing it would topple out. Your backpack will be lopsided with the weight so you'll need to plan how to pack it.I returned this one because of the color. The navy is super dark, like a slightly faded black. And as with the darker-colored Kankens with this material, the coating turns the creases white. So even brand new they can look used and worn. I ended up getting a yellow one that I liked better.

This water bottle pouch has held up great with daily use on my elementary-age kid's backpack. It bought mostly because it could hold and secure a standard size water bottle AND it was the same color as her backpack.This is one of those things that might cost a bit more than other solutions but you'll save in the long run as you only have to buy it once.

Works as intended and feels solidly made. The issue I had was my Kanken felt so uneven and uncomfortable with the water bottle holder I ended up just putting it into my backpack.

Love that it fits many different sizes of water bottles but often falls out when pulling out water bottle. Would be great if it had a way to secure it with the backpack so it doesn’t fall out.

The bottle pocket is really durable, and easily clips on to the backpack. It has a drawstring to cinch the water bottle secure, but, if you have a little kid, you can just tuck the drawstring in and tuck the water bottle on top. I've used Klean Kanteen, Yeti (kid size), and those Target Minecraft water bottles in the pocket with no issues. We haven't had problems with the pocket getting loose and easily falling off with my child flinging their backpack around. This is a nice add-on accessory!
