Why We Like The Mystery Ranch Coulee 40L Backpack

Comfort and convenience come together in the Mystery Ranch Coulee 40 Backpack. Whether you're gearing up for an all-day hike in the hills or keeping things light for a quick overnighter, this ingeniously designed bag has your back.


It features an innovative 3-ZIP design that allows us to gain access to the entire main compartment at once. That means no more digging through all our gear just to find an elusive headlamp or hidden camp meal. A lightweight fiberglass frame adds support without the weight when we're hauling a full load into the wild, and the telescoping yoke provides a custom fit that most packs in this size range can't offer.

Men’s Coulee 40

For the past two years I’ve tried to go ultralight for my backpacking adventures. I’ve discovered that I’m not a true ultralight guy. Of the big three, my tent and sleep system are ultralight but I’ve decided to retire my ultralight pack for something far more comfortable and user friendly - the Coulee 40. In my opinion, having the ability to flay open the pack, having two stretch pockets, two front panel pockets, dual ice tool attachments and multiple exterior gear tie down points makes for a dream pack plus, I need not fear a strap failure because of Mystery Ranch’s legendary build quality. Cheers.

Perfect for 72 hrs

The pack is well designed with good access and ancillary pockets. It is very comfortable as well for loads up to 40 pounds. Hiked with it in the Grand Canyon and I had zero issues. The only complaint I have is that the you can remove water bottles from the side pockets but cannot replace them while walking.

Perfect Pack!

I purchased this pack because I was looking for something large enough for winter activities. I was immediately blown away by how well this pack fits and how comfortable it is! I have big shoulders and most mainstream outdoor brands feel like they are built for marathon trail runners. This pack is beyond comfortable and the adjustability makes it even better.

Great packs

Did not disappoint. I own other Mystery Ranch packs and needed a day/overnight pack. This is the perfect size.

Multiple day trips , Olympic NP

I have used Mystery Ranch packs since my days with the Forest Service. This use was with the Coulee 40. As with all their gear, it holds up. Fit options are perfect for nearly anyone. Color is cool. Water resistant enough for the Hoh river.

Really really like it

I bought this for mostly day trips. It has the right amount of pocket/compartments and is highly functional. It isn’t overly built which saves on weight. I got it because my other pack (pintler) is a bit overkill for day trips. This one is almost perfect but I’m not too crazy on the colors it comes in.

Everything I love about the Coulee 25 but bigger!

I bought a Coulee 25 in summer of 2021, and have used it extensively on many hikes since then. I LOVE the stuff pouches and the trizip. Durability is fantastic, and everything about how the pack is laid out makes sense. The only drawback I found is that I'm a big guy, so my raingear and warming layers take up a lot more space than most people's clothing will. I decided to get this coulee 40, and it is perfect! Fits everything I need and everything is easy to access. On top of that, the 40 seems like it rides better and the same load feels lighter than in the 25. This is my 4th Mystery Ranch pack, and I love all of them. The suspension system makes heavier loads feel much lighter than they actually are, and I can carry it all day comfortably.

Well made, comfortable.

I bought this as a replacement for a pack used on a SAR team. So far, I like it. Time will tell how it will hold up to rugged mission use.

Exterior Pockets

I'm a trail steward and need tools with me to get the job done. Diving in a pack to find them is just not realistic. Saws, loppers, water, extra gloves, strapping right where I need them. Dry clothes, rain gear, first aid kit, lunch/snacks, handouts, .... all inside and dry. No other pack comes close. Coulee 25 for summer & Coulee 40 for winter.

Excellent pack

I put a ton of stuff in this and it was still comfortable. I love the huge pouches on the outside you can put a lot in there.
