I have the coulee 25. Used it for travel, hiking and rucking (hydration pouch holds up to two 20# plates). Very comfortable.

Good stuff!

I fell in love when I saw videos and reviews of this bag, but upon trying it out at an outdoors store, not so much - it lacks some organisation, strap keepers/savers, some bottle pocket _(either inner or outer, as long as there's one to keep a bottle in place)_ and some additional security features - putting some mini straps close to the nexus area of the tri-zippers to allow clipping a carabiner or the like would allow us to clip and secure the zipper tabs, to bring some theft-reduction features. For the 21ℓ I'd also remove the load lifters, it makes it look too busy in my opinion EDIT - I'd also split the inner side pockets, as like you said, since they go the entire length, they can't really fold or bend/curve with the bag, once closed. It is so unfortunate, I really love the look and feel! This colour variant also has that ''inconspicuous'' factor, which I really like

@JBOutside1 2 года назад

I had the same thoughts after a few days. Great color and a ton of potential. Ultimately it wasn't for me either.

Glad to see this review. I just swapped from the UA24 in the same Waxed wood color - which is gorgeous - as my EDC to Goruck, largely because of your reviews. I did use the UA24 for about a year and while I also have the UA21, I agree with it findings. It’s just too small and no laptop compartment (which the 24 fixed and I do recommend checking out!) My EDC load in the UA24 was a maxpedition fatty pouch for utility stuff like multi tool, flashlight, gloves, etc. and a Peak Designs tech pouch fit electronics goodies laid side by side at the bottom. Water bottle in the left inside tall pocket and first Aid kit and hand wipes on the right. In the leftover top space I kept a small cinch bag with a spare shirt in case of spills/sweat/etc (in AZ). Top lid pocket kept my MacBook charger, headphones, and a hank. The laptop compartment on the 24 is pretty generous. No problem with 15” mbp, IIIA plate, notebook, and a shemagh with room to spare. I was pretty surprised how much more I like the 24 I’ve the 21. I just use the 21 as my trucks emergency medical/trauma bag. I got the 26L Heritage and the 21L regular GR1. Still working out if I can do just the 21L size. I really want to use the Heritage as my edc. But I was a little shocked at how much more space it has vs the 24 urban assault.

@JBOutside1 2 года назад

Nice, as I plan future gear acquisitions, I'll add the UA24 to the list! I really do like this bag for comfort and feel but for ease of use the nod definitely goes to the GR1! Thanks for watching Joshua!

@robm846 2 года назад

I think the laptop sleeve strap doubles as a strap for a hydration bladder (the double velcro pad on the end can be used to fold over the horizontal slit found in a lot of hydration bladders).

@JBOutside1 2 года назад

That makes sense! Thanks Rob!

@lewistalmadge6703 2 года назад

Was curious about all the Mystery Ranch hype and does look to be a unique bag. However, I use my bag more for every day carry and not as a hiker so believe my Bullet 15L Kaiden is still best for me.

@JBOutside1 2 года назад

I think you're right...that Bullet is 🔥

@blackhatbushcraft 2 года назад

Nice review, thanks! You remind me of James Tolkan aka Mr. Strickland! Take care and keep up the good work.

@JBOutside1 2 года назад

Haha, I prefer his work in Top Gun!!! 😎

@robbiemoore4714 Год назад

So I saw this bag and was attracted to it for its unique look and just wanting to switch up my EDC from a 10L bullet here and there just for fun. Buuuut after your video I feel like it is worth it at this time to swing for the new 16L laptop bullet. Just wish there was a way to add the quick access pocket to these things. Thank you for your reviews they do save a lot of time and $$ for some of us. Although the GovX $100 isn't a bad price to even have for a fun bag.

@JBOutside1 Год назад

Totally agree. It’s worth a shot at that price. I also love that pocket. So useful. Rumor is there may be a heritage bullet…with a top pocket?? 🤷🏼‍♂️

@dansouthcomb5439 Год назад

I agree the GR1 is probably a more convenient EDC and has the better warranty, but when you can buy the MR Urban Assault for $100 vs $325 for the GR1, it may be difficult for many to justify spending the extra $225.

@JBOutside1 Год назад

Yep. Totally true.

@mjzangenberg 2 месяца назад

I just ordered one in Woodwaxed.... Hard to come by atm for some reason in that colour and only the other colours available in EU in stock, many sold out etc. But I found one from Spain, despite I wanted to find something closer to Northern part of Europe, Scandiavia part.

@machsi1900 2 года назад

For edc its bigger brother the MR UA 24 is a better all around bag than this because it has external water bottle pockets and has a separate laptop compartment that is even better than the GR1. For day hiking i always choose my Vanquest ibex 26 over the UA 24 or the GR1 because its much more versatile and comfortable. Cheers and God bless.

@JBOutside1 2 года назад

Awesome, yeah that 24L is now on my list. The Ibex looks awesome. I'll add that to the list too!

@starfoggs Год назад

I don’t fully agree. I have both, but the 21 is my favorite. To me, the 24 only makes sense in case you really edc a laptop daily or almost daily. On every other day it just gives you some extra weight and the laptop compartment makes it somehow bulky. Almost like some turtle shell on your bag. External bottle pockets take space from the inside. So therefore they don’t provide any benefits to me except getting to your bottle 20 seconds faster. The 21 allows me to place two Nalgene bottles inside and under the two mesh pockets. Those keep them in position and they don’t move around in my bag. Both are fantastic bags and the UA24 offers some more features. But as those come with a price, I simply prefer the 21.

@YTusercomment Год назад

I would not see the Mystery Ranch's Urban 21 pack's lack of being a weekender backpack as a "negative." It was obviously not the intent of its' original design - a Business or EDC backpack. A person needing a robust day hike and / or 2 - 3 day backpack has other options with Mystery Ranch that they should be looking at. The MR Scree and MR Coulee as just two examples. Another option, for EDC, that should be considered, that also addresses some of your EDC carry concerns with this MR UA 21 pack, would be the Mystery Ranch District 18L or 24L.

@FlynnMcTaggart 2 года назад

So I ended up deciding to get this pack in the camo 500d cordura, and I love it it's the perfect size for work, day to day edc, or a dayhike for me, BUT I want to add a strip of hook and loop on the top part of the backpack for morale patches. What is the best method of adding hook and loop velcro for patches without sewing? Or would I have to sew it in?

@JBOutside1 2 года назад

MagnePatch. They make magnetic loop panels you can put anywhere. I haven't seen one in person but want to get some for some of my slick bags.

@DaemonViews 7 месяцев назад

I have used weight in my evergoods cpl and mpl22 but don't seem to get on good terms with the harness. It's always pinching somewhere or pushing in my back. How does this one compare? More comfortable with weight?

@JBOutside1 7 месяцев назад

Not really much different. The Mystery Ranch bags with the Futura harness though are amazing

@DaemonViews 7 месяцев назад

@@JBOutside1 from a search on their site I only find the asap as an option. Have you tried the coulee?
