Fj llr ven Raven 20 Backpack - Black

The media could not be loaded. I’m 4’11.5” (151 cm) and this backpack fits me perfectly! I’m a student so I appreciate all the pockets in every compartment to organize stationary. The zippers are a little stiff, but I think it’s because the material is water resistant, and the zippers are tucked away under the zipper placket. This bag is pretty casual, and can be used for short travel too. It could probably hold a pair of jeans, and 2-3 tops, depending on size (I’m petite so my opinion is probably skewed). The straps are padded but not overly padded, so they’re comfortable. I was going between this backpack and the Sküle, and I don’t regret my decision. This bag has it all, so I never thought “man, I wish I got the Sküle instead.” The Raven is a little bit more expensive than the Sküle, but I don’t mind. I know I’ll get a lot of use from this bag! I would say the only "con" is that the backpack does not stand on its own. It definitely needs to lean on something. The front of the back is shorter than the back, so it will fall forward otherwise.

This pack is perfect for me. I love this size and look. Plenty of pockets and fits my laptop. I use it for work. I travel throughout the day to different departments and it fits everything I need without being too bulky. Read more

This is my favorite backpack. I had been wanting a Fjällräven backpack for quite some time now, and finally bought this as a present to myself for getting a new job. This very quickly became the perfect work backpack for me. It fits my laptop perfectly, and the size is exactly what I needed. The backpack is sturdy, and very high quality. The padding of the laptop pocket is great. While these backpacks can be a bit expensive, it was a great investment for me. Read more

Bought it for my wife, and it has been her go-to travel pack ever since. It’s very comfortable, easy to carry, and compact enough to meet even the ultra-economy airline requirements, yet still spacious enough to pack everything needed for a weekend away. Highly recommended. Read more

Overall, this seems like a pretty great compact, moderately durable bag with a bunch of pockets to compartmentalize things. I find there to be 2 drawbacks though, which will likely end up in me returning it: TBD. 1. If you plan to use the side pockets to hold a water bottle - or anything that will stick out above the side pocket fabric - be aware it will be difficult to open the bag fully with the bottle there because of how it aligns with the zipper. I inserted a 16oz Owala Freesip (the kids size one) and it was a challenge. It stops about 3-4” short of bottom of zipper track. You can certainly push the zipper down to end of track which sits maybe 1” below the pocket, but it can be hard to grab the pull tie on to bring it back up. I included picture with front pulled down showing end of zipper track (left) vs. where it runs into the small water bottle (right). This was the biggest drawback for me. 2. When I put the laptop in, it bubbles out into the pouch into the bag a little. Not the end of the world, but I would have expected (hoped) the elastic on sides would account for the laptop in there and then the fabric across front would still be flat against the laptop. Straps are otherwise comfortable and just enough padding, nice top handle to grab and go, fairly soft backing so it shouldn’t pill your shirt with wear. Read more

I had the previous version of this backpack, which I liked enough to rebuy. This version is even better, with all the stuff I liked staying the same but with more pockets and improved details that make zipper pulls smoother and organizing easier. Expensive but worth it Read more

Good size, easy to pack. It's made of canvas, so it is sturdy and holds up well even though it isn't bulky. Read more
