Fjallraven, literally "The Arctic Fox" is a Swedish company specializing in outdoor equipment, especially luxury clothing and backpacks. Founded in 1960 by Åke Nordin.
Fjällräven's original product was the first commercially made backpack with an external frame. It used an aluminum frame. Today, among its best-known products are Greenland jackets, Vidda pants, Expedition down jacket and various versions of the Kånken backpack.
Fjällräven Kånken is Fjällräven's best-selling product. It was originally developed as a reaction to the growing number of reports that Swedish school children were developing back problems due to the heaviness of their more traditional bags. The Kånken was awarded the Guldknappen Accessoar design award in 2018.
