Why compare these options?
Compare two 28L daily-carry candidates: Depot is listed at 1090g and Giga at 980g, a 110g difference. Their recorded outer measurements differ, while the Rab measurement-axis order remains unknown.
- With both listed at 28L, is the 110g empty-weight difference useful for your daily-carry budget?
- Do the recorded exterior measurements warrant a closer size check before you compare actual load space?
- Which strap and packed-load observations would you need because neither a 28L label nor the source photograph establishes fit?

What changes between the published specifications
The published empty-weight values differ by 110 g. This compares manufacturer figures; accessory inclusion and weighing tolerance may differ.
Listed capacity: 28 L versus 28 L. Volume ratings do not establish a pocket opening or the shape of an object that can fit.
Outside dimensions stay in the order used by each manufacturer. Match labelled axes where supplied; unlabelled axes do not support a height-to-height claim.
With an illustrative 1 kg load, starting totals would be 2,090 g and 1,980 g before any accessories excluded from the published weights. This is arithmetic, not a comfort or packed-load test.
Questions these numbers cannot settle
- Will your phone and passport fit together with the bag fully closed?
- Can you reach the needed pocket while wearing the bag?
- Does the strap adjust comfortably over your clothing and body measurements?
- How does the particular material perform in your use?
Use the two fact sheets for model details, then check those questions with the actual bag or directly with its manufacturer.
