Fjällräven Raven 20 Backpack - Multi-Pocket Organization, Padded Support, Durable Fabric - Commuting, Travel, Khaki Dust, One Size

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 smaller sized backpack is tricky to pull off but the Raven 20 does it well. I thought I didn't like the gappy laptop/tablet sleeve. It doesn't close snug on your device at the top--and I even considered installing a velcro strap of some sort. But before I got around to it, I realized I like it gaping like that. It's always there sort of mouth open ready to be fed my device, which can go in one handed. There is not a ton of space, so it's not going anywhere. But this style of sleeve/pocket might not be to everyone's liking. As for the rest, there's a surprising amount of organization pockets for such a little pack. Personally the best strategy is to figure out which are most convenient and memorable for my use patterns and just not use the rest. Otherwise, I forget where I put things. So, arguably there are too many organization options, but I'm not sure that's really a thing you can have too many of. Better to have options and adapt to what fits you, I think.

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.

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.

I use this when I travel. It has lots of pockets and a nice roomy main area that I can put a change of clothes, ipad or computer and cables. Keeping everything tidy and in place. It’s my carry-on for flying but also, a day pack once I arrive. Not too big, not too heavy but enough to have what I need.

I really love this backpack. I was looking for one with lots of pocket, but not too big as I plan to use this for work (laptop, notebooks, not pads etc) and it’s perfect for that. It’s made of a very good quality material, the color is exactly what I was looking for. It’s a bit on the expensive side, but very good quality.

I’ve owned this backpack for a couple of years, and it’s still going strong. While the storage capacity may feel a bit tight if you tend to carry a lot, it’s ideal for work or travel essentials. It has multiple inside pockets, including zippered sections, and the laptop area is nicely padded for extra protection.

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

tanta qualità

It is spacious and well thought built. I wish it had luggage sleeve to help it slide over the handle of rolling suitcase.

Really nice! Perfect size

After far too long searching for a new rucksack..I purchased the Raven a few days ago. Absolutely what I was after. 'feels' like a quality product. Lots of pockets. And compared to my last rucksack (Stubble Commuter), feels lighter. The inside of the bag is a lighter colour, meaning you don't need a flashlight to find stuff. Expensive yes. But well worth it.

Perfect size for our everyday use
