Mystery Ranch

Blitz 35L Backpack

Solid all around bag

Great materials, great design, and most off all extremely comfortable!

Great features and construction

Really happy with the features this backpack offers. Perfect size and holds a lot of gear for it's volume. I have two of them set up as emergency 72 hour and/or weekend getaway bags.

Plenty of space

Very comfortable l, I would recommend this pack . Great for hikes !

Very good

I bought this pack due the fact that I’m a volunteer Wildland firefighter and I wear mystery ranch gear in that capacity. The only reason I have it 4 not 5 stars is because it doesn’t have molle webbing all down the sides of the pack. This would make it very versatile.As a man on the larger side of things(6’1” 300lbs) mystery ranch is the only pack maker I have found to have packs that fit right for me. I will carry this pack as an EDC/travel/ carryon bag for many years to come. Thank you for making such good products.

Very clever layout

Nice bag overall. Clearly designed by people who travel and go into the field. I really like the top closure. It allows zipper side access and excess storage. The outer pockets have all the right organization compartments. Belt is extremely small. I followed the measurement guide and got a medium, and the belt is not even remotely close. Compression straps on the sides are poorly placed. If you compress the bag then it's hard to retrieve the items in your side bottle pockets. I believe MR already has a model where the belts run inside the bottle pockets. That should be the standard. Or have them right above the opening. Oh, of note - inside you have two distinct pouches for laptop and hydration bladder. Very smart. Should be standard in 2024. Overall I still think this is a good bag, but I'm not ready to call it evolution over the 3-day tri-zip line. The military model tri-zip is still the meter stick of backpacks.

Best Overall Bag You Can Own

I own two of these bags. One is my everyday business-travel bag. The other is my bug-out bag. With the ABC pocket configuration, I'm able to quickly access resources for both utilities. For work/travel, I can quickly access and store valuables, like headphones, keys, pens, sunglasses, and meds without tearing through the whole pack. For my bugout, I love the elastic straps inside the two front pockets. Great for gauge, tourniquets, and gloves. Mystery Ranch doesn't advertise it, but there is an additional secret pocket behind the two front pockets. There's nothing this pack can't do. Also like that the Blitz 35 can extend upwards (a ton) compared to the fixed design of the Blitz 30.

Great bag

I picked this up about a month ago. Been using it everyday. No issues, large main compartment and removable waist straps

I wouldn't know because it was two days late, I had to leave for my trip, so I had to buy another one...backcountry, wouldn't do anything for me, horrible customer service and cost me alot more Money...

Fantastic!

Great pack for what I need! I use it for a daily bag to carry my uniform/gym/change of clothes. I don’t know how well it would be for an every day carry; but for a travel bag/carry on great choice. My only complaint is that some of the straps have a Velcro tie down, while others do not. I would add Velcro “tie downs” to the compartment lid and shoulder straps; no matter what great bag and quality. I also enjoy that you can remove the waist belt when you don’t need it.

Great Well Thought out pack

My first order was lost by Fed Ex and Backcountry replaced it with another. So good on them. The pack is comfortable and well thought out. Day 1 I hiked 15 miles through the Florida swamps. All my gear was easy to access. I could easily sustain myself from this pack
