Mystery Ranch Special Projects Service

Monday, September 19th, 2022

At MYSTERY RANCH, we solve problems for our customers – we work with them to identify a solution that meets their needs.

MYSTERY RANCH builds the best load-bearing gear in the world. Period.  

In addition to designing products for commercial sale, we regularly work on Special Projects for government and other industry organizations. With our Special Projects Service offering, MYSTERY RANCH designs and manufactures custom products when no other load-carriage solution exists. That includes packaging weapons, comms gear, optics, sensors, connectors, cabling, and so on.

If needed, we collaborate with in-field experts that bring their expertise to the design and help deliver a rigorously field-tested product to the client.

MYSTERY RANCH has many patents on technologies necessary for special load-carriage requests, which cannot be found otherwise. Our Montana-based, in-house product development and production teams are structured to facilitate such specific design needs.

Our most recent Case Study is the ATM CWF – aka “THE ARCTIC RUCK.” Details of this service outlining the process and collaboration efforts with in-field professionals can be found here.

In many cases, the client comes to our facility to brainstorm a solution with our design team for their load carriage or packaging needs. They show us the equipment we need to design around. In other cases, the client may send us the equipment and then collaborate with us via video conference, phone, or email. When necessary, we travel to the client’s location to work with them directly or see or experience items or factors that cannot be brought to us.

If it needs to be carried by a human – let’s talk or visit our site: www.mysteryranch.com/Packs/Military/SP.

Matador Speed Stash Adds Convenient Storage To Most Backpacks

Monday, September 12th, 2022

Matador Travel Equipment, the producer of performance travel equipment, introduced its Speed Stash, a “universal” backpack strap that attaches to any backpack with a sternum strap, even if unbuckled. 

“The Speed Stash is one of the most universally useful products we’ve launched yet,” said Chris Clearman, founder and CEO. “It provides quick access to your phone, snacks, camera, or anything else you like to keep on hand. While we recommend pairing it with a Matador backpack, it works well with any backpack with a sternum strap, adding quick access for the most critical items.” 

The Matador Speed Stash incorporates locking bars to trap a pack’s sternum strap for a secure attachment, providing convenient front access for frequently used items. Made from Bluesign-approved fabric, the Speed Stash features a Powermesh elastic front pocket for easy access and a zippered main compartment designed to fit most cell phones, passports and GPS devices.

Mystery Ranch Gunfighter SB Available Today

Wednesday, August 10th, 2022

Today at 1300 Mountain Time Mystery Ranch will release the Special Blend versions of the Gunfighter in both 14 and 24 liter options.

Based on the Gunfighter daypacks in the Mission line, the SB variant features a MultiCam Black paint job with Black webbing, zippers, buckles, and pulls. Materials are exactly like you’ll see in the Mission line: 330D Cougar Nylon with DWR and PU coatings and IR complaint fabric and YKK zippers.

I got a chance to take a look at a 14 liter version. The top flap does not integrate a pocket but there’s a small two compartment zippered pocket on the lower back of the pack.

The unique zipper arrangement combines features of both top and panel loaders for access to the main compartment.

Interestingly, the zipper pulls for the lower flap are fitted with toggles which helps get them open or closed quickly.

The pack integrates both a laser cut PALS field on either side as well as stretch water bottle pockets.

They have also added a padded laptop sleeve to the interior of the pack which will accept up to a 15″ screen.

The suspension is comfortable, with padded back and ergonomic shoulder straps, sternum strap, and removable 1″ waist strap. Internally there is an HDPE frame sheet.

Finally, this American made bag is tagged with a production information and flag.

The first 600 packs sold will include a custom Morale Patch. Based on previous launches, they’ll sell pretty quickly.

Lululemon Liftos Hiking Backpack

Tuesday, August 9th, 2022

I know what you’re saying, “Lululemon…WTF?” Yep, Lululemon. I’m taking you right out into Grey Man territory here guys. No one is even going to turn their head if you’re wearing a Lululemon pack and it might actually be the only time your significant other is pleased you bought yet another pack.

The new Liftos daypack is part of Lululemon’s hiking line. It’s a 25 Liter pack with a curved back for lumbar support and a removable waistband. Plus, its exterior pocket can fit a hydration reservoir or 16” laptop.

What some of you may not know is that Lululemon is headquartered in Vancouver, BC, not far from Arc’teryx. In fact, a lot of the design team at Lululemon cut their teeth at Arc so you’ll notice a lot of similar design features between the two brands.
