Raven UL Backpack 5D
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.

TORSO SIZE
- Select your exact Torso size. When measuring if you feel you are in between sizes use the smaller number. For the best pack ride you are better off with a pack that's an inch smaller than an inch too big. Here is a link to someone else's guide to measuring torso size.
