Is Fjällräven better than Herschel?
These bags are a bit more expensive than those of Herschel and offer different levels of water resistance. It is safe to say that if you are an outdoors enthusiast looking for a high-quality backpack to take with you while trying a hand at your survival skills in nature, the Fjallraven bag may be the better choice.
Is Fjällräven a luxury brand?
Fjällräven (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈfjɛ̂lːˌrɛːvɛn], Swedish for “The Arctic fox”) is a Swedish brand specialising in outdoor equipment—mostly upscale clothing and luggage. It was founded in 1960 by Åke Nordin (1936–2013).
What’s so special about Fjällräven?
Fjällräven Kankens are brilliantly water-resistant. Vinylon F, the synthetic fabric they are made from, behaves more like a natural fibre and swells as it becomes damp. As it swells, the gaps between the woven fibres close more and thus it becomes more resistant to water penetration.
