Notes from our data check
fjallraven.com returned a Cloudflare 403, so specs come from the Nordic retailer Scandinavian Outdoor: 'Height: 35 cm Width: 25 cm Depth: 16 cm Volume: 13 liters Weight: 345 g ... The laptop sleeve fits a 13” laptop (32 x 22 x 2 cm)'. Inches and lb converted. Pack Hacker independently lists 13 L, 0.76 lb, 35.1 x 24.9 x 16 cm (consistent). The 15" version (40 x 28 x 16 cm, 18 L, 460 g) was also sourced but Pack Hacker's pick is the 13 L size. Price: no readable US price (fjallraven.com blocked). Amazon: several listings (e.g. B00EZCEANW 'Kanken Laptop 13"', B08FFDGK89); listings disagree on style number (23523 vs 27171), so asin is null.
