Raven 28 Backpack - Basalt

I'm a tech director and like to have most things I'd need with me when I'm going to resolve an issue on-site. I carry various cables and adapters, tools like screwdrivers and RJ45 crimpers/punches, rarely used building keys, my laptop, etc. This holds everything very well without being too bulky. It has a nice balance of compartments where I can find a good spot for everything. My last bag had too many compartments and I found myself wasting time opening many in order to find something. I've had it for several months and it has held up very well. I saw some complaints about the material on the back ruining shirts, but I have not experienced that and it is not abrasive. It's possible earlier versions of the bag were different, but if not I can't understand this complaint. I ultimately chose this bag over some other competitors because I preferred the subdued branding and the understated styling.

I bought this backpack for college use. I don’t really carry way too many things so I wanted something that was flexible. This backpack is perfect for that. The fabric is high-quality and it is fairly compact when you do not have too many things inside. But it is big enough for me to carry one or two big textbooks inside. The padding on the shoulder straps and back are great and breathable, and the laptop compartment holds my 16 inch Macbook Pro along with an 11 inch iPad Pro withi ease. I do not think any laptop bigger than a 16 in. MB Pro would fit in this backpack. Using lighter backpacks previously, I always carried my laptops inside a laptop sleeve (inside the backpack), but this one is padded well enough and suspended off the ground making it pretty safe. Overall very happy with this very well built backpack.

Great color, solid build quality, love the practicality

Highly recommended. I really enjoy this backpack, bought it for a trip to Banff, it worked out very well.

As an insurance agent this backpack fits what I need perfectly! 3 full sized sections that can easily house a 17inch laptop in each one. 3 additional mesh pockets inside 2 of the sections, and another smaller section in the front. I carry one 17inch laptop, 2 notebooks 3 folders, chargers for my computer and phone, my wireless mouse, several pens/pencils, and 2 checkbooks and it’s all organized to my liking. Plus I still have PLENTY OF SPACE! I tried 4 other backpacks and this one was the best one.

Yeah this bag is holding up great. I took One star off because the water bottle pockets are too small and I can Only use one at a time- can’t fit my coffee travel mug 160z and my 24oz owala at the same time. Other that that zippers and pocket sizes and sections are great. Holds two laptops perfectly.

Was a bargain.

Sturdy backpack made with strong fabric and quality seems. No rips or tears after a few months of heavy use for work and travel.
