Raven 5D UL Backpack

The Raven 5D is a handmade, frameless backpack ready to put in some tough miles. The 5D version features heavy duty 5.0oz Dyneema Composite Fabric construction. In contrast our V1, V2, and V3 Raven backpacks use 2.92oz Dyneema fabric. If you need a frameless backpack that can handle a harsher environments. 

BACKPACK COLORS

  • Currently only available in black

PACK VOLUME OPTIONS

  • Available in a 35, 40, 45 & 50 liter volume size. Please keep in mind, volume measurement includes the INTERNAL compartment of the main pack only. Side pockets and front pocket are not included when factoring in this volume size. With our design, your torso size will not affect your capacity volume. Many other companies add up all pockets for total volume. We don't do that. So your 60 Liter pack from REI will most likely compare to our 45 liter Raven.

ULTRALIGHT

  • Even though we used a heavier 5.0oz Dyneema for this pack we did our best to strip to a crazy light weight. Depending on options, this pack starts at just 19 ounces. When adding a padded Hip Belt, you are still keeping things under control at around 21-24 ounces.

Raven Red Wolf.

I love the hilltop Packs custom printing. It really sets it apart from other outdoor goods manufacturers. So I just had to have my Raven 50L printed. It brings a smile to my face every time l look at it. I have removed the side compression straps so as not to spoil the excellent quality printing so the empty pack weight is only 21oz.
The pack is well made and fits well. Main component is a good 50L and swallow’s all my gear and food for 10 or more days adventures. Shoulder straps and hip belt support all loads well and the sit pad added to the back reduces back sweat, Front pocket in stretchy mesh is wide and deep keeping my rain gear handy. The side pockets are spacious and convenient to dip in and out for on the move needs, but I would like to see them in elastic instead of cord. Overall a great pack.
