Love the new backpack! Super light. Nice waist padding.

Perfect all the way around.....

Great product all around; a friend and I each bought one, and I purchased a different style for my son for hiking & scouting... I will never buy anything but Mystery Ranch; the quality is different!

Great Design

Love this pack. Great suspension system. Easily centers pack weight and is exceptionally comfortable. Great Job Mystery Ranch.

Great pack!

Really comfortable daypack with great storage options.

Super comfortable!

I bought an XL size coulee 40 & am very pleased with the purchase. I may even have to buy the M sized hip belt because of my weight loss. Super comfortable & adjustable & plenty of room for an overnight hiking trip! Highly recommend!

Great two day pack

This is a big enough pack for a lightweight solo hiker. I can scramble with several liters of water and all my supplies and food very comfortably. The belt and harness are the most comfortable I’ve used with up to fifty pounds of weight. I can’t imagine using this for more, however. If longer duration or more gear is needed, there is the Coulee 50. Built like a tank, big zippers, durable materials. Highly recommended.

Great pack, not roomy

The pack was great but it needed a few things. CONS: 1. First off, the sleeping bag compartment did not have stretch-material straps so if you have a sleeping bag that’s larger than a “backpacking” sleeping bag, it will not fit and you will be forced to put it inside the main compartment. The straps on the bottom also barely fit my 2 person tent. Had to extend them all the way and it was a stretch. 2. The backpack itself did not hold as much as my Gregory 38 liter did, and the MR boasted that it was a 40 liter. So be cognizant of that. You won’t be able to take much more than the essentials. PROS: 1. The material is top notch. I would be confident that if I dropped and dragged this pack on blacktop for a mile, it would hold up just fine. 2. I also enjoyed the tri-zip compartment that lets you access the main body of the pack. Great idea. Overall, the pack is great for days trips or LIGHT overnights. Just didn’t fit my particular needs.

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.
