OR – Granite Gear – 338 Jungle Ruck

Friday, August 7th, 2015

Granite Gear was selected as one of three finalists for the USSOCOM Jungle Pack Program. This is their submission, named the 338.

The 38 liter pack utilizes a modified Chief frame sheet as well as a new suspension system with air channels made from a combination of mesh and soft shell fabric. The Chief frame sheet accepts the shoulder straps which plug right in. They’ve combined this with 500D Cordura and interesting Trelleborg drain hole panels.

The 338 is a Top Loader with a removable lid and a roll top closure on the bag itself, as well as dual side hydration pockets. Additionally, the pack features a removable radio pocket for an AN/PRC-117G.

Finally, in addition to the drainage panels the bottom of the 338 has four large drain grommets.

It’s not quite ready for sale yet but keep your ears open.

Here’s a little candy for you. They also developed a smaller, more assault-style, hot weather, 26 liter pack which is really cool.

It shares several features with the 338 but doesn’t have a lid or waist belt.

OR – Mystery Ranch Is Back In Retail

Thursday, August 6th, 2015

One of the biggest stories of 2015’s Outdoor Retailer Summer Market is Mystery Ranch’s reintroduction of a consumer based, retail line. MR literally overhauled everything available commercially, and introduced new colorways with several completely new packs added to the line as well. This move means that the hunting and outdoor packs will be available through retailers all across North America. It also means that if you’ve been carrying a MR pack for work, now you can carry one for recreation as well.

Mystery Ranch founder Dana Gleason and I talked about the expansion. MR has been concentrating on military and fire load carriage for the past 15 years and these new packs incorporate a lot of lessons learned. Dana related, “It has to carry the load extremely well. Our goal for outdoor is 45-50 lbs. Nobody is going to make a 75 lbs invisible, but we will make it bearable.”

OR – Ventra Gear – Main Frame

Wednesday, August 5th, 2015

Ventra Gear’s patent pending Main Frame adapts to many frameless packs and offers some breathing room between the wearer and the pack’s bag thanks to the mesh back. Inventor Mike Wright is a Mechanical Engineer who created the Main Frame specifically for this reason, commuting to work each day on his bike and arriving with a sweaty back.

I saw it and immediately thought “jungle” but this easily removable frame could also give some structure to otherwise floppy assault packs or be adapted for use as a frame sheet for odd sized loads. In fact, the Main Frame is rated for use up to 60 lbs loads yet weighs only 333grams/11.7 oz for a size Medium. It uses the shoulder straps from the attached pack and Mike offers an optional waist belt for those packs that don’t have one, The frame is offered in Small Medium and Large and will be available soon.

Warrior East – MATBOCK Introduces MR Dry

Thursday, July 9th, 2015

Like all of their products, the new MR Dry from MATBOCK was designed based on their operational requirements as active duty SEALs. Like the name implies, the MR Dry is a cooperative development with Mystery Ranch that transforms a MR Tri-Zip 3-Day Pack into a truly wearable, yet accessible, fully waterproof bag. It’s design by MATBOCK, Load Carriage by Mystery Ranch and Waterproof by Drift Dry.

The exterior incorporates a new Mystery Ranch yoke that combines mesh and venilated padding to shorten drying time. This yoke can be removed just like on any other MR pack and installed on the 3-Day Pack that is suspended inside the waterproof shell. Everything is fully removable but when zipped up tight, it’s fully waterproof and even incorprates a oral inflation valve.

You may notice Orange piping on the waterproof shell, but that’s to designate a prototype. Production models will be available in all Black, Grey and MultiCam. Final prototypes are coming next week and you’ll be able to order the MR Dry by August.
