Raven 28 Backpack - Black

Something about this bag just hits right. Usually nostalgia colors your perception and you can't really get the same feeling, but as soon as I opened the box, this bag made me feel like I had found my old favorite backpack again even though it doesn't look the same. Whoever designed this loved their backpack in school and made this for other people who also loved theirs. Now that I'm an adult and I can buy whatever I want, it's weird how good this bag feels. I would buy this again in a heartbeat, rather than one of the million black shiny sleek modern rolled up trash bag things people carry these days. The inside feels sturdy and satisfying with all the hidden pockets and sleeves and nylon, but the outside has this perfect old school canvas that I can't wait to still love in 10 or 15 years once I drop it and spill stuff on it a few hundred times. Right out of the box it already looks relaxed and holds a ton of stuff while not being huge. Zippers are easy to manage with nice pull tabs, straps are padded and squishy, and the bag space is bottomless even though it appears average size. I'm carrying a 15" laptop, large over-ear headphones, 3 power cables, notebook, pens, 2 large calculators, deodorant, cologne, medication, tylenol, sunglasses, and a paperback novel. Not a single pocket is full, I could add plenty more if I had to. This bag feels so good Im looking at Fjallraven jackets and hats now too. Nobody paid me for this review, I spent 120 bucks on it and Im happy about it.

I love this bag. Ordered it for an extended trip to the Philippines where it was subjected to heat, salt water, and rain. Kept my stuff protected from the elements. Perfect size as a day bag, and carry on. Lots of useful places to store all your travel stuff with peace of mind. Loved the color, and it was comfortable, always. I know its going to last me a lifetime.

This is sturdy and tough, with lots of pockets and compartments to stay organized. I paired this backpack with a set of zippered canvas pouches to further organize the large compartments, and I'm very happy with it. I routinely carry both an iPad pro and a laptop, and this holds both easily. If you get the black, done expect perfect jet black for long - this picks up dust and fuzzies and shows its wear over time. I don't mind my tools showing some wear, but if you're a neat and tidy, prim and proper type who wants perfect clean black always, this is not for you. No points against, as I don't think that's the goal. Zippers feel durable and function easily without undoing themselves. I'm a big guy, 6'1" and 275, and this is very comfortable to wear, although my wife says it looks slightly small on me. I don't really care how it looks, as I'm a function first kind of guy.

This has been an excellent work backpack for nearly a year for me. It's very durable, has lots of pockets, and the zippers are all going strong. If I bike to work it's still comfortable and doesn't cause any chafing, and I don't typically get massive sweat spots wearing it. It comfortably fits under the seat in front of me on an airplane. It fits my fairly large work backpack easily. Highly highly recommend.

This backpack rules. It has so many pockets and is super spacious without being too huge. Great quality

I love this backpack. I love the looks and the quality. The back is quite firm so it offers good back support. The arm straps are rather thick and comfortable. The fabric looks durable. And I love the small detail of the fox in leather, it is so cute! It is perfect for carrying my laptop and other stuff to university and for travelling. My only complaint (and why I removed a star) is that it doesn't include a waist belt, nor a sternum belt. This is a relatively big backpack to carry a laptop, so to carry quite some weight is expected. I understand that they went for a minimalistic look but for me this is essential, they could at least include some loops to which you could add a belt if needed, and sell it separately. Instead, I had to sew one to the arm straps, which for now works but adding the one for the chest is gonna be more difficult. It would also have been nice to include a rain cover since the backpack is not fully waterproof, but these are easy to find from third parties. I don't wanna risk my laptop going for a swim during NY rains! EDIT: After a month of usage, I can say that I love how comfortable this backpack is. However, it is annoyingly easy to make dirty. It is also easy to clean but never had a backpack that gets so dirty just by looking at it.

This bag kind of looked small to me but it fit a 16 inch laptop just fine. It is actually pretty roomy. It is high quality and looks great.

I used to use this model for years and repurchased 2x. They have def updated it. Perfect for laptop, or any middle age school kid n up. Black for more adult. More pockets inside.

Högkvalitativ och välgenomtänkt ryggsäck

Muy buena mochila, original, acabados resistentes de buen material, es muy espaciosa y con muchos compartimentos, hubiera estado genial qué la tela fuera DWR para el tema de las lluvias, pero aun así me gusto mucho, esta increíble!!

Not the most comfortable backpack, but for carrying my laptop to work it is both very functional and stylish.

Usztywnianie plecy, dużo przegród i kieszeni.

フェールラーベン大好きです！ 大容量で大満足のリュックです！
