Mystery Ranch Rip Ruck 20 Backpack Buckskin

First I absolutely love the quality of materials used. The bag seems more durable than most bags. The biggest problem I have is the closure system of the main compartment. The magnets don't snap to the body of the bag as good as I believe they should. The zippers on the main compartment snag the material almost every single time I go to zip it back up. It's rather annoying to fish fabric out of the zipper constantly. I don't recommend this pack if that would annoy you too. I'll continue to use this pack until I find something better. It'll probably be another selection from Mystery Ranch because I am impressed with the quality. The execution of the closure system on this pack is a good idea but it doesn't work in real world circumstances.

The laptop sleeve is great but the bottom of it is unprotected by not being padded. So if you are like me and tend to drop your backpack down a little harder then you should, be advised it isn't padded on the bottom. It took a cracked iPad screen to notice this. Again mostly my fault, but I do wish it had some padding for protection.

I've had this pack now for a couple months. It works great for daily carry items. A man purse if you will. I can easily carry a change of clothes for after work, headphones, wallet, leatherman, sometimes a pistol, snacks, lunch, a book, contacts and glasses. It works great for taking the kids on a little hike or to an event also. Snacks, waters, jackets, books, diapers, etc. Not too big or too small for most daily things. Zippers are easy to use and convenient. Only thing I'd change is maybe a couple more interior zipper pockets for organization and a couple straps on the outside for lashing jackets or fishing poles on. Looks nice and clean too. For those dads of young kids, it sure beats the heck out of carrying something that looks like a diaper bag!

My 17 inch laptop fits snug into the laptop compartment. It fits all my laptop and other work gears for everyday. If you need to carry any more, I would go bigger but for the minimal sized bag for minimal carry, it actually holds large screen laptop and the carger. I havent fount the use for the front molle panel yet but I like the look of it.

Been running this edc for about a month and am plenty happy with it. Tough in the right places, slim, keeps me from carrying too much junk. I would like to see a few more features if I'm being particular, would like to see small pen/light pouc with dividers, a small exterior pouch between the shoulder straps, interior d-ring, extra foam on the bottom end of the laptop sleeve.

Great smaller size bag. The only thing I wish Mystery Ranch would add is a Velcro patch under the flap to better secure the flap.

I use this product as my flight pack at work. Its big enough to fit my laptop, portfolio, and other electronics accessories and tools I need on job. It's compact enough that it doesn't take up too much space in the company vehicle stuffed with aircraft, battery cases, tools, etc. The pack is quite durable... and it looks great. I love it!

I bought this bag looking for something that would serve a multitude of purposes: my commute to the office with laptop/portable monitor/lunch/water bottle, light day hikes, exploring a new city, and maybe even stand in when I needed a snowboarding backpack. This bag can truly do it all, where a few others that I checked out couldn't. It's well made, and clearly the Mystery Ranch team has taken to heart some of the feedback on the outgoing Rip Ruck bags (which I also checked out). While I would have appreciated some of the organizational pockets on the interior sides of the pack similar to the outgoing version of the Rip Ruck 15, I think the new features outweigh any of that: better & easier to use zippers, water bottle pockets on both sides, shielded zippers, and an updated look that's sleek and tough without looking too tactical with the laser cut molle on the outside panel. I checked out the 15L and 20L and ultimately decided the bigger 20L bag served my needs a little better (there's not much exterior size difference when empty) but the smaller Rip Ruck 15 is pretty sweet too. Also really appreciate the Shadow colorway, it looks great & doesn't look as tactical as a black backpack would. Very happy with my first Mystery Ranch purchase.
