Mystery Ranch Tower 47 vs REI Co-op Ruckpack 28 Recycled Daypack - Men's

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.

Old version could fit a fleece and pair of chacos on top of my essentials and they did not fit at all in this version. I do like the new top pocket design but cannot use this as intended due to the complete lack of capacity. Seriously disappointed. It's not a terrible backpack but it should have a different name and lower capacity than listed

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.

Got this pack as a smaller light trail pack, to my trail 40. It was labeled as an overnighter but wont work for the PNW with ever changing weather and I knew before getting it wouldnt get used for overnight trips out on the trails. But it's a fantastic day hike and light travel bag. Love the pockets and locations

The Pop-up 28 might be the ultimate SAR pack because of it's durability, flexibility, and comfort.

The rough pack 18 have included a water bottle in each bag. Just to show what that looks like as well, so I am approximately 5 foot 9 around 200 pound...

The pack is unable to stay tight to the frame. The biggest annoyance with this is that you CANNOT access anything in the pack without loosening up multiple side straps. If Mystery Ranch would simply make points of contact to keep the back of the bag itself attached to the frame independently of the compression straps this bag would be untouchable! But since you can't secure it to the frame it's hard to get the load to distribute as it should on your body. I really really really want to like this pack but I'll most likely just sell if after this season

Retails for around a hundred and thirty dollars, but again as of the taping of this video, this bag is on sale for approximately forty four dollars an...

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 waist strap is removable, and although it isn't padded, it helps keep the bag in place and more comfortable under heavier loads. The straps fit me right where they're supposed to, allowing me to carry the bag comfortably on day hikes and aboard airplanes. Speaking of airplanes, this bag has been my go-to carryon, as it fits under most airline seats with ease.

I have been using the 2DayAssault for about 60 days straight. My biggest criteria for purchasing this bag was the rear pocket zipper for the laptop. I have a 15" MacBook Pro and it fits easily in the laptop pocket with easy access from rear pocket zipper or through the top. I use the bag daily for work but I have also taken two 4day weekend trips with nothing more than the 2DayAssault

The organization in the side pocket could be more thoughtful, but ultimately I love it on looks and utility, but already am struggling with the inadequate zippers. The sternum strap buckle feels ridiculously fragile, and please just put it on a ladder system. The hydration hose clip is fixed to the right side? WHY? I’m concerned about stitching as well. And put a rain cover pocket back in the bottom

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

The sleeve on the inside isn’t padded, so I would also be wary of putting your laptop in it (as advertised) without some extra padding.

I wish it had strap retention bands so the excess isn't flopping around. Easy fix for me, I just used some tape. And would be nice if the waist belt was stowable. As far as an EDC bag, if you work outside for a living then yeah, for commuter to work in a city, go with one of their smaller ones like the urban

The pack seems to be best for day use / commuting / and the like. I did experience a little rubbing under the arms of the adjustment buckles that are at the bottom of the shoulder straps. This was a little irritating at first, but I didn't seem to notice it as much as time went on. I can overlook this because of how well I like the fit of the pack to my back
