After years and years of using typical Walmart backpacks, buying a new one every few months, and all the while just not being happy with the product for my daily work use, I FINALLY just bit the bullet and went with Mystery Ranch. I use Mystery Ranch for all my hunting bag needs and absolutely love them. So buying any other brand just seemed silly. As I expected the bag is flawless, tough, and extremely useful. I love the magnetic closure systems and ample space. Whether I have 10 pounds or 40 pounds worth of gear the bag feels just the same on my back. As it should since Mystery Ranch is legendary when it comes to how it handles weight. The only con I could possibly think of is the load lifter straps are a bit long. This is easily remedied however by threading them through the shoulder straps. Guidefitter's prices are terrific and for the discounted price there isn't a better bag on the market period. Just do it!
