Robert Babcock's Review of Mystery Ranch 2 Day Assault Backpack

So far I'm loving this pack! At 27 liters it's the perfect size for my requirements (a day pack that can fit a woobie/blanket/small sleeping bag as well). The construction is excellent as you'd expect from MR. It's a tad overbuilt and heavier than you might expect due to it having a framesheet and the adjustable Futura yolk system. Internal organization is minimalist but pretty good. The top lid has two zippered pockets, there are two hanging zippered pockets on the inside and two small sleeve pockets. Lastly there's a hanger for a hydration bladder, too. The zippers are waterproof and work well and there's a pair of compression straps over the top.

There are a few minor things I'd change. First the side water bottle pockets could be a bit deeper. I think they'll retain the bottles just fine but a bit taller sides would be nice. And the pockets slightly eat into the internal volume of the pack when bottles are inserted.

But overall it's a great pack. It fits well with lots of potential for adjustment and carries well. Fit can be subjective but this is a very comfortable pack. Recommended!
Pros:
  • very comfortable

Cons:
  • A tad heavy
