In this video we compare the Fjallraven Raven 20 and Raven 28 backpacks and explore how each backpack fits, the pockets and compartments and what fits inside each to make choosing between the two as easy as possible.
Which Fjallraven Raven Backpack Should You Choose?
Choose the Raven 20 if you are on the shorter side or
don’t want a bulky backpack. The Raven 20 might be too small to use as your main travel bag but it’s perfect for carrying everyday essentials for work and school.
Choose the Raven 28 if you need a larger backpack for lots of school books, short trips and to store bulky items like a camera cube or large lunchbox. The Raven 28 also has a separate laptop compartment that is a bit more protective than the one on the Raven 20.

Perfect video for someone like me that faces tons of indecision between two very similar options. Looking at them side by side in store can only help so much compared to seeing them compared in action.

[@devtuber6507]

thank you, been looking for this comparison

[@gmcjpill1527]

The review I have been waiting for …. Thank you

[@rafferon3439]

I love your reviews so much. As someone who's 5'6" the comparisons on someone of the same height is SO useful!!

[@Backpackies]

That's awesome! Very glad you find these reviews helpful!

[@PhilRuybal]

I love your comparisons! Thank you!

[@arlencarlson]

Nice comparison. I have the Raven 28, and it is definitely a favorite in my collection. Great value for its cost…hard to beat.

[@Backpackies]

The Raven 28 is such a sturdy backpack. Agreed, it's a great value!

[@cheryldueck318]

This was very helpful. Thank you so much! And as another person said above, I am also 5’6”, so that is extra helpful :)

[@HowHeLovesUs]

Hi BPs! Thank you for this review comparison. I just want to ask if these backpacks have the G-1000 stitching on them? TY! :)

[@justjen4125]

Very helpful. Great video, seeing it in real time is incredibly helpful.

[@Backpackies]

Thanks! Glad you found the video helpful!

[@mistsrider]

Best explainer/comparison video I've seen.

[@Backpackies]

Wow, thanks!

[@huckhuckbb]

Very helpful video, I have the Raven 28 and I love it. It's great for traveling 😊

[@Backpackies]

It really is!

Perfectly review

[@user-xw7hg4jh9x]

個人的にはコンパクトなデザインである20が美しいとは思いますが、実際使うとなると28は自立もしやすく現在の必要な機器に対応していると感じます。

[@HansLandaNaranja]

I liked your review, but could you also add the sizes in centimeters? That would be very helpful. Thank you.

[@Backpackies]

Sure thing! We'll keep that in mind for future videos

[@mariomcdonaldjr.1561]

Thank you for this. What color is the 28?

[@Spazzfrom.1989]

that one is navy

[@annatenwhite7699]

hey, great video. I have a 16,1 inches laptop, do you think it would fit in the 28L Raven? Thanks

[@Backpackies]

Hello! A 16.1" laptop might be a bit too big for the laptop sleeve. We don't have a 16" laptop to test with but our 15.6" laptop presses up against the zipper and doesn't feel too safe in that pocket, so anything bigger than that will not fit.

[@GmrGppy]

Hey I have a 28L Raven for a couple of months now and use it to transport my 16 inch Lenovo Legion 5 pro everyday. My laptop is considered quite bulky, yet it's an easy fit, not even too snug.

[@weiqiii9017]

@@GmrGppy you saved me bro

[@htanh1909]

When placing the backpack on a table or any surface, it often tips over and falls to the ground due to the unevenly designed bottom. It is not recommended to buy.

[@nicolalego]

The macbook showed in the video is a 14” or a 16”?
A 16” would fit in the raven 20?

[@Backpackies]

It's a 13" Macbook shown in the video - unfortunately, the laptop sleeves are going to be too small for a 16" Macbook

[@hoihoi12250]

How do you know if a bag is too tall for you?

[@Backpackies]

Easiest way is to measure the your back length from the bottom of your neck to your waist. Now you can compare that measurement to the backpack length. There are guides on how to fit a backpack online that will go into more detail!

​​Thanks for the quick response! ​@@Backpackies
The reason I posted this comment is I just got the raven 28 but after just an hour of wearing found that it made my lower back a bit uncomfortable/tired, maybe because the edge of the foam backing is quite hard. Did you notice anything like this at all?
