Using the Fjällräven Kånken Totepack is super easy. When you're going for a bike ride, simply wear it as a backpack. When you hop on a crowded bus, convert it into a shoulder bag. To store your laptop, just place it in the padded inside pocket. You can keep small items in the zippered front pocket and open side pockets. The seat pad in the main compartment can be pulled out whenever you need a break. As for maintenance, use a soft brush and lukewarm water to clean it. Don't use harsh chemicals as they might damage the G - 1000 HeavyDuty Eco S material. Always make sure it's completely dry before storing it to prevent mold and mildew.
