Mystery Ranch Rip
Ruck 24 Backpack

I was convinced I wouldn’t like the Rip Ruck 24 backpack, but I was saddled with it on a recent week-long 10,000-mile trip. Turns out I was big-time wrong.

The bag is smaller than the packs I usually travel with — 1,465 cubic inches — so I had to cut back on some of my usual excessive load of travel flotsam. I also didn’t think I’d like the magnetic rip-open lid or the two zippered pockets, which close via a pull cord. It seemed gimmicky.

The capacity turned out to be a good feature on crowded flights as the bag fits under the seat. Both the smaller pockets and the magnetic main bag proved quick to open and close yet stayed secure. The green color and design were remarkably unremarkable and I even used it as a hunting day pack. After bashing the bag in six different airplanes, a week of van travel and even a couple of days in the woods, I’ve suddenly fallen in love with the Rip Ruck 24, and that’s why it’s leaving with me on my next trip!

MSRP: $169
