Review on MYSTERY RANCH Out Backpack Lightweight Outdoor Recreation for Camping & Hiking by Imed Artun

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good markings on the Summit pack, but labeled "Military, Hunting Types "

The obvious key to this pack's intended purpose is the name itself - "In and Out" - for fast, demanding excursions, the capacity with combine weight problems. . So yes, it is light in design. At less than a pound, the self-inflating backpack is small enough to fit inside a larger frame pack, making it ideal for day trips if you happen to be traveling across the country. But its light weight makes me think it was made for climbing: it weighs less than a pound but is made from Cordura, the same material used in good climbing pants. The outer pocket holds 32 oz. Nalgae. This is a top loading package. The shoulder straps are ok, but would have liked a little more padding. A chest strap helps keep the weight balanced. But there's no hip belt, which is a shame. That's not enough for a top bet if the user turns on the Ten Fundamentals. I'm currently testing it as a day pack to see how it holds up before trusting it as a travel essential. Perhaps it's the way MR products are marketed that makes me hesitant to classify them as the perfect choice for alpine adventures. The company's choice of words ("tactical", "mission") and photographs on its website are intended to draw the attention of those involved or those associated with the military, law enforcement or hunting.
