A brief list of groups that use and/or endorse Mystery Ranch backpacks:
- U.S. Forest Service Hotshots, who fight wildfires
- Outside magazine, which called Mystery Ranch’s Saddle Peak the “Best Pack of 2018”
- And Navy SEALs … who require no explanation
Mystery Ranch bags are indestructible thanks to their Cordura fabric, an air jet-textured nylon fabric that could probably take on a bayonet and live to tell the tale. Which makes these packs well over-qualified to service, say, your commute.
We recommend picking up the 21L Urban Assault model, which is currently 30% off at Huckberry. It features a unique, quick-access three-zip design and fixed harness frame system. Yes, it has a laptop sleeves.
