As the long-standing leader in military load carriage, MYSTERY RANCH designs and builds packs for the mission and they haven’t stopped.
At SHOT Show, the brand introduced Carry Forward, a collection that reflects an important and intentional evolution but remains rooted in the brand’s core. Rather than a departure from MYSTERY RANCH’s military DNA, Carry Fordward is an extension of it.
The Carry Forward collection exists because proven designs don’t lose relevance when the uniform comes off. You’ll see some familiar silhouettes, styles that have been trusted by mission users for years. Some will exhibit expanded color offerings while other designs have been refined for this new role. All feature a common thread; these are the packs MYSTERY RANCH believes in enough to keep building, supporting, and evolving.
Two products in particular stood out.
The Blitz 30 returns with redesign, shifting away from overt external PALS webbing toward a sleeker exterior. Modularity hasn’t been removed, it’s been moved inside. Internal PALS and hook-and-loop fields allow users to configure their load without advertising it, a smart update that reflects how many people actually use these packs today.
The newest addition is the Rip Ruck 24, built around the same proven Rip-Zip opening that made the original successful. What’s changed is restraint. Cleaner lines, simplified external pocketing, and a more streamlined profile make it a quieter, more refined version of a pack that already worked.
The Carry Forward collection isn’t about chasing trends or compromising capability. It’s about recognizing that the best designs don’t need to be reinvented, just respected, refined, and carried into what comes next.
