The Metcalf 75 backpack from Mystery Ranch is well-suited for long treks into the wilderness due to its size. It is a versatile piece of equipment made from 330D LP Cordura material and high-quality zippers from the Japanese brand YKK.
The Mystery Ranch Metcalf 75 backpack is ideal for all seasons due to its design. You'll appreciate it whether you're carrying an advanced sleeping bag and extra layers in winter or high-quality larger optics in the warmer months.
The backpack features a removable lid that can hold all the essentials you need to have on hand, such as a headlamp, spare gloves, or a snack. In addition to this lid, there are several straps available that make it easier to carry larger pieces of equipment. An advantage is the multiple straps for lid attachment, ensuring it always sits securely regardless of the current amount of content in the backpack.
The Mystery Ranch Metcalf 75 backpack also features a roll-top opening and one side zipper. Thanks to this design, you can easily and quickly access larger pieces of equipment stored directly in the backpack. Another key element of the backpack is the ultra-light frame ULTRA LIGHT MT, which doesn't unnecessarily increase the weight of the luggage while still providing sufficient strength.
The key to comfort when transporting equipment and gear is a properly fitting backpack. Mystery Ranch® offers sizing based on 2 measurements for this backpack. To find the right waist and yoke size for yours, please collect the following 2 measurements and then refer to the chart below.
