Mystery Ranch Updates Rip Ruck Packs for 2020

February 4th, 2020

During last week’s Outdoor Retailer Snow + Winter Market, Mystery Ranch introduced updated versions of their Rip Ruck Packs. The military pack design cues are obvious. The main feature, the ability to rapidly access the main compartment by “ripping” up on the flap remains, but now the accessory pockets (when present) are easier to access thanks to the Fidlock magnetic buckles which replace the side release on the old model.

Offered in 32, 24 and 15 liter models (top photo to bottom), the packs feature an updated molded foam framesheet.

Another new feature is the large Velcro field on the main flap with the integrated Mystery Ranch logo.

The 15 liter model seen below doesnt have the two external pockets.

Coming later this year from www.mysteryranch.com.

Numerous pockets will allow for convenient placement of equipment, while their characteristic arrangement will make them constantly available, even when working in a sitting or kneeling position. Elongated construction of the jacket protects the body regardless of the equipment we carry.

By lowering the “kangaroo” pocket, they were able to extend the front zipper of the jacket, which allows the user to better ventilate his body during strenuous approaches or work

Main features:
1) Fire sparks resistant
2) Dries faster than cotton
3) Can be impregnated with wax
4) Tapes inside the pocket for attaching equipment
5) Hood is adjustable in 3 planes

CCI Expands on Its Clean-22 Product Line

February 3rd, 2020

LEWISTON, Idaho – January 30, 2020 – Last year, CCI—the king of rimfire—launched Clean-22 in three 22 LR configurations. This year, the company expands that product line by introducing Clean-22 Suppressor 22 LR and Maxi-Mag Segmented Hollow Point (SHP) 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR).

“CCI has been in business for more than 75 years, and currently we have close to 100 cataloged items,” said CCI Product Director Rick Stoeckel. “We utilize a state-of-the art production facility and a dedicated, highly experienced workforce, to create a huge variety of innovative product options that have created unparalleled brand loyalty from millions of shooters and hunters. A prime example of innovation is one of the company’s latest and greatest product lines: Clean-22. And this year, CCI is expanding its lineup.”

Clean-22 Suppressor 22 LR uses an advanced polymer bullet coating to reduce lead fouling inside a suppressor by up to 60 percent. The exclusive feature allows much easier suppressor cleaning and maintenance. These loads boast excellent accuracy while cycling reliably through any suppressed firearm. The load’s brass case gives the cartridge a tactical look when paired with the black polymer, 45-grain bullet. The load is available in 200-count cartons. This convenient, carton-style “pour pack” makes it easy to handle all the ammo needed for a big day at the range. When range day is done, the containers close securely to hold the remaining rounds until your next shoot.

New Clean-22 Maxi-Mag SHP is the industry’s only segmenting hollow-point bullet in 22 WMR. The load’s 46-grain Segmented Hollow Point splits into three equal-size pieces on impact, tripling the number of wound channels. The polymer bullet coating allows this separation at much lower velocities and longer distances than a conventional copper jacket. This load features an olive drab green bullet and is available in 50-count boxes.

Clean-22 uses an exclusive polymer bullet coating to greatly reduce copper and lead fouling in the barrel—without leaving a residue. It also cuts lead buildup in suppressors by up to 60 percent—depending on outside variables. Bullets in this product line are manufactured using bullet-shape geometry that’s been ballistically optimized for accuracy and function. And with dependable CCI priming and consistent propellant, Clean-22 provides flawless cycling through all rimfire platforms including semi-automatics.

These new products were announced at the 2020 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, January 21-24. Shipments for the new Clean-22 products mentioned in this release are scheduled to ship starting in the Spring of 2020.

In 2019, CCI launched three Clean-22 22 LR options: Sub-Sonic, High Velocity and Pink. All loads feature a 40-grain round nose lead bullet colored in a way to signify their differences. Red represented High Velocity which boasted a muzzle velocity of 1,235 feet-per-second (fps). Blue for Sub-Sonic featuring a muzzle velocity of 1,070 fps. Both options were sold in 100-count, clear-sided, durable boxes that CCI is known for. Clean-22 Pink also delivers a muzzle velocity of 1,235 fps and is colored in a way to communicate that it helps fight breast cancer. A portion of the proceeds from every box sold goes directly to the effort to find a cure. It comes in a 400-round bulk bottle that’s perfect for long days at the range.

•4 Feet of two-ply Toilet Tissue
•Wet Wipes with Aloe and Vitamin E
•Hand Wipes
•Hand Sanitizer

Below are the actual contents of the kit. The resealable bag is used to place the tick into. Labs can determine if it is infected and may help you prevent unnecessary treatment for Lyme disease.

Houdini Mono Air Houdi

February 3rd, 2020

This ISPO Gold Award winning mid-layer from Swedish brand Houdini Sportswear is made from Polartec Power Air technolgy.

Not only is it super comfy, but it has a lot less impact on the environment than the material’s previous incarnation. Polartec has been making fleece from recycled plastic bottles for decades so that’s nothing new. They’ve just improved their process. Power Air is made from 73% from recycled fibers and is itself, fully recyclable. What’s more, it will release five times fewer microfibers into the environment than traditional fleece. While so many are fixated on plastic straws, that’s what has been actually showing up in fish. Finally, for those interested in the supply chain, it has a bluesign certificate for sustainable and low-emission textile production.

The Houdi will be joined by the hoodless Mono Air Halfzip in the Fall.
