Why use virgin polyester when you can use recycled polyester? Our recycled polyester comes from plastic PET bottles, unusable second quality fabrics and fabric offcuts.
Kånken wouldn’t be Kånken without Vinylon F. This synthetic fibre has been used to make the classic everyday backpack (and our Kajka trekking backpack, too) since the beginning, and its durability is clearly proven.
G-1000 is our cornerstone material. We use it in everything from backpacks to jackets and trousers. It’s a densely woven fabric made from 65% polyester and 35% cotton and, by using Greenland Wax, it’s adaptable to a whole variety of different climatic conditions.
Your tent is your home in nature, so take care of it accordingly. A well-loved and cared for tent is the difference between a night to remember and a night to forget.
G-1000 is a tough material with a tight weave that makes it naturally wind resistant. By adding Greenland Wax, which is made from a mixture of beeswax and paraffin, you can increase the wind and water resistance and durability.
