Why We Like The Terraframe 3-Zip 50L Backpack

After years of requests, Mystery Ranch decided to build a backpacking-focused pack with its OVERLOAD feature, a longtime favorite from years of hunting and military packs. The Terraframe 3-Zip 50L Backpack uses rigid, carbon fiber frame stays as a suspension system that's both torsionally flexible and supportive of excessive loads, your secret weapon for going big in the backcountry. This internal-external hybrid Guidelight frame allows you to detach the pack from the frame, creating an overload shelf for adding additional gear you can't fit into the pack.

Mystery Ranch Terraframe 50L Backpack

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Size Bought:
Medium

I bought this pack several weeks ago in advance of a trip to hike, camp and fly fish Hazel Creek in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The pack provided plenty of room for the four night trip with a trail weight of about 40 pounds. The external frame and "load sling" make it easy to haul ackwardly shapped or heavy items that would not otherwise fit in a traditional top-loading or roll-top backpack. I found it to be a very comfortable pack, although a tad on the heavy side (5 pounds total) for those considering an AT through hike or other extended trip. Mystery Ranch is known for its quality and the construction of this pack is top-notch: 330 Condura Lite Plus with a Carbon Fiber frame. The pack has three zippers--two diagonal and one vertical. This makes it easy to open up the entire pack or to simply stuff gear in through the top. There is a hydration pocket inside and the pack features two top lid pockets that close with high quality zippers. There are also two open side pockets for tent poles, water bottles, etc. Numerous, extra-long external compression straps make it easy to carry your tent body or sleeping pad, Sevaral webbing loops and MOLLE loops provide additional flexibility for lashing additional gear (like fly rods) to the pack. The pack features an adjustable length frame system. I found that I did not properly adjust the height of the shoulder pads relative to my torso length, but made sure to do so before returning. A velcro backed yoke makes the adjustment quite easy. The frame itself is flat and it seems to flex dynamically as you move on the trail. It has a wide, stiff hip belt that locks securly but comfortably over the hips.

Great pack!

Bought this pack several months ago and have been very impressed with the fit and function. Hauls loads easily and does a great job with packing additional gear in the load shelf. Great pack

This is a great backpacking bag. Very durable and wears very comfortably. I plan on using it for backcountry camping and elk hunting. I should have no problem packing in 4 to 5 days worth of gear and packing out any animals I harvest. I like how the bag is designed, simple yet very functional and with it's carry capacity there are no limits on what you can pack.

Great pack

This pack is well built and really comfortable. With the three zip system, it's easy to get in and out of the entire pack, instead of just having the top opening. The waist belt and shoulder straps have really thick padding and is one of the best fitting packs i've ever had. The ability to separate the pack from the frame for extra carry capacity is really nice to have. This is my favorite pack and will get lots of use.

Terraframe 3-zip 50

I've had 3 hikes with this pack (8, 5, and 4miles) loaded less than 20lbs. I did have 2 full nalgene silos in the pockets. Had some initial adjustments to make due to hip soreness. Once adjusted carry was great. Have a 14 miler coming up, planning 25-30 lb load. I have no concerns. I may try out the overload feature on that hike.

Great pack!

I bought this for 3 day section hikes. I have a lot of "ultralight gear" but dislike super lightweight packs. The 50L comes in around 5lbs and is super comfortable once you figure out how to adjust it. I used it once in a late season hike, carrying heavier loads than i normally would, and it remained super comfortable. The hipbelt rules. Im a 34" waist and have room for 2 good sized molle pouches on each side. The side pockets are great for water bottles. I love the 3 zip. It makes it easy to get stuff from the bottom of the bag.. Only cons are - it has no drag handle. I don't like grabbing it by the top of the carbon frame. I emailed mystery ranch, they assured me it was safe to do so. But I personally dont feel comfortable doing it. The bag isnt expandable, 50L is 50L, it felt smaller once i started filling it. Once its full theres no roll top closure or anything you have to get it to zip. I was used to overstuffing USGI molle rucksacks. There's lots of webbing on the pack but it felt limited. Maybe I've just got to play around and figure it out. The vertical rows feel less useful, i wish it had more horizontal webbing. Its an expensive pack, i dont know how I feel about modifying it Overall its a great pack. It does what I need and my complaints are minimal. Im working on modifying a MR pack lid from one of the terraframe hunting packs to fit this pack. It'll be nice for those cold weather hikes where i need just a little extra space for clothing.

Great rack.

The pack has been great so far without fully loading up. Looking forward to multi day hikes.
