Influenced by their Swedish roots, Fjällräven designs functional, durable, and timeless outdoor gear that inspires everyone to move to nature's rhythm.
Access to outdoor recreation nurtures deeper connections between nature and people. Power To Be, a non-profit organization based at Prospect Lake on Vancouver Island, is dedicated to making nature accessible to youth, families, and adults who face cognitive, physical, and social barriers.
The collaboration between Power To Be and Fjällräven’s Arctic Fox Initiative encourages outdoor involvement for all, and raises awareness of environmental conservation and protection.

Fjällräven is an outdoor gear and accessories company founded in Sweden in the 1960s. They are known for their attention to detail, superior production quality, and durable outdoor offerings. Fjällräven is also a leader in developing sustainable materials like their eco-shells, which are made from recycled polyester. Buoyed by their focus on sustainable materials, stylish looks, and high quality, Fjällräven is a fantastic nature-first company. They use recycled material whenever possible to simplify their production impacts, do not use fluorocarbons in their designs, and trace the origins of all their materials to make sure they’re being sourced responsibly.

Similar to a compass, the Fjällräven Way centers on four main points that guide their decisions. Point one is nature and environment, point two is economy and business processes, point three is social responsibility, and finally, point four is wellbeing.
Fjällräven Kånken and Other Iconic Offerings
