Why We Like The Mystery Ranch Coulee 20L Backpack
Mystery Ranch put just as many thoughtful details in their day hike-oriented Coulee 20L Backpack as they do in their multi-day packs. Using the micro-adjustable Lightweight Trail yoke and load-adjustable straps, we can find our perfect fit and balance for intense days on the trail and quick excursions to our local swimming hole. One of the most interesting and convenient features of this pack is the 3 ZIP opening: the top opens with a quick-pull two-zipper lid, and an additional zipper down the center of the pack expands the main compartment so we can access contents more easily.

You need this pack!
This is the most comfortable pack I've ever had including my trusty Osprey. Everything is easy to get to and I'm stoked that is has for a water bladder. 100% you'll get compliments on how sweet this Coulee looks! Taking this bad boy when my military buddy and I do some hiking in Utah in the fall.

Color selection we need more!
If this bag offered the black frame and forest or Loden or peak for the bag color I think you’d sell a ton more. orange inside would set it off even more.

Amazing pack
Hello, I am going to make somewhat the same comment as for my Radix 47. I needed a bag for the day only, so I chose the Coulee 20, and I am absolutely not disappointed, this bag is wonderful like the other bags of the brand. Super comfortable, a ton of possibilities, enough room to put everything I need for a day!!! Well done MR, great job

Outstanding lightweight daypack
I just got this a couple of weeks ago, and did a 7.5 mile hike last Sunday. The pack was light, the yoke / support felt great (like a real pack), the ventilation over my back was good, and it was easily accessible. My 2023 iPhone fit in the hipbelt pocket and you don't notice it's there, but I don't know if one of the phones with a larger camera or screen would.

Great pack, great price, really impressed.
Was looking for a daily bag to replace my old ODAP. This is similar in form factor, affordable, and high quality.

Wrong Color on Website
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
If you're looking at the Stone color, just be warned it's an army green color, not the light tan color pictured. Super disappointed as I needed this for a trip but don't want to keep a color I don't love. Please update with accurate colors, this feels like an ongoing issue with Backcountry.

Great pack except..
Just got this pack and on its first trip the water bladder holder broke. Didn't even do anything was getting something out of the pack and noticed it was hanging strange.

The Coulee 20 is a great pack!
I own several Mystery Ranch packs - I love all of them. I purchased the Coulee 20 for myself and two children - we all own the Coulee 32 and use the pack for hiking and climbing. We wanted to get a slightly smaller pack for shorter routes or missions that required less equipment. We have since used the Coulee 20 for a climb of the Half Dome Cables Route in Yosemite National Park and just this last weekend to climb Castle and Conundrum Peaks (Fourteeners near Aspen, CO). The pack performed perfectly, and I will be using it on many more adventures. It is light, comfortable, and able to fit all the necessary equipment for many types of hikes and climbs. Highly recommended!

Comfortable and compressible
Great little pack, so far I've used it for EDC but will use it for dayhikes, as well. For EDC, I fit my laptop, papers, notebook, coffee and water bottles in the front pocket. I also packed a change of clothes for the gym and stuffed my climbing shoes in the side pockets where they stayed firmly in place and I had the lower compression straps for extra security. When I removed several items from the pack and compressed using all four compression straps, I was really pleased with how the pack evenly compressed and maintained a low-profile and close-to-back carry. Very adjustable and comfortable pack, durable materials, attention to detail. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a day-hiking or outdoorsy-looking EDC pack.

Great light hiking pack!
Great pack! I also have the scree 32 and this feels like it can fit almost just as much because of the two back pockets. very comfortable and the features on this pack make sense!

I'm looking at a pair of trekking poles that are 15.7 inches long when collapsed. How far apart are the pole attachments on the Coulee 20?

Has anyone used the Coulee 20 as a "personal item" for air travel? I know that the dimensions list the length to be over the 17" limit for personal items.
