Mystery Ranch Tower 47 vs UAG Standard 24 Liters

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.

Sturdy, doesn't pull on you or dog into your shoulders. Size is good, but a double edged sword so I out that here and will also put it in the bad. Lastly, i read comments saying it wasnt very durable and didnt do well in inclement weather. I have to wonder what these consumers are doing with this bag

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.

It rains a lot here out in the beautiful different areas to go hiking. You can get a lot of snow, so i mean you're going to have to do your part as fa...

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

This bag stands up on its own, even with some stuff in the front pocket pulling it forward. The bag stands up on its own. The bag is actually balanced...

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

So far has everything that I have needed and it is conservative enough looking that I can take it to meetings with tightly wound bankers or lawyers!

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 zipper that failed is the one that seals the laptop "sleeve" which was almost a full deal breaker for me and quite frustrating. But the main part of the bag has an internal sleeve so I just transitioned to that one and kept going. The bag itself is rather large which I've gotten good use from at times when I needed to carry extra stuff. The pocket at the top I get a lot of use out of for knick knacks and wires etc

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

His laptop screen measures 17.3 and would only fit loosely in the main compartment, as the inside sleeves were also too small.
