Mystery Ranch Tower 47 vs Osprey Archeon 24 Pack

If this conformed to carry-on size limits, you can be sure they'd say that, and loudly. They don't. As others have said, given the proportions it's almost certainly taller than the rules allow -- perhaps by as much as 5-7 cm.

Not the roomiest bag but will carry everything you need for a day trip. Simple aesthetic. Does not wow with organizational features.

I spent two years searching for something as comfortable and spacious as a hiking backpack but wasn't willing to get a typical one because the material most likely wouldn't hold up. Finally after repeatedly coming back and looking at Mystery Ranch they released this.

Hi folks, it's Troy from In Wild. Today we're checking out the Osprey Archeon 25 backpack. This tough, streamlined pack is ready for day hikes or dail...

The options for adjustments are perfect allowing me to get a great fit and seated perfectly along my back and shoulders, I hate packs that hang low because that unsettling center of gravity gets tiring after a while. On the other hand it is easy to adjust the straps on the move which is nice because if anyone has ever worn a pack for an extended period of time, then you know how nice it is to loosen, tighten, and switch to sling mode here and there to help free up spots on your back that get too hot over time because even with breathable material like that present on this pack, the bottom line is that there is still weight pushing material along your back and you will still get hot depending on how long you wear the pack. The primary harnesses are thick and comfortable, even when I loaded the pack for weight I didn't feel anything digging into my shoulders. I'm used to seeing red marks on my shoulders with other packs and this comfort is something I'm not used to

the Archeon 24 is a top loading pack with clean lines built from beautiful recycled fabric that's designed to cross over from trail to everyday life. ...

I’m a graphic designer, so I’m always carrying my 17” apple laptop and lots of additional tech/wires/charger etc. Additionally I’m a gamer, so I always carry my controller and my 13” Razer gaming laptop. So I’m able to carry two laptops(!), and a plethora of other things. One of my favorite details about the bag, is the Mystery Ranch “Y” zipper design—It’s truly amazing, and not just a gimmick or novelty

I have the 24 and do love it, but also have mixed feelings. The laptop pocket is both awesome and shitty. It's genuinely large at 2+ inches deep, which makes it actually useful for pouches sitting up at the 3" top as second brain/quick access pocket.
