Hello! I’m Seki, the manager of the outdoor shop “FITTWO” in Ueno!

Today, I’d like to introduce two new items for the Fall/Winter 2024 collection from the American bag brand MYSTERY RANCH: the SUPERSET 24 & 32.

What is MYSTERY RANCH?

Let me briefly explain the brand, MYSTERY RANCH…

Founded in the U.S. in 2000, MYSTERY RANCH is an outdoor brand.

Its founders, Dana Gleason and Renee Sippel-Baker, have long pursued the development of durable, comfortable backpacks, aiming to create the world’s best load-bearing backpacks, which is the core mission of MYSTERY RANCH.

The brand offers highly functional bags, even used by the U.S. Navy SEALs. Some of their most iconic bags include:

Bags with Y-shaped zippers for easy access to items at the bottom, materials that don’t make noise for hunters to avoid scaring off game, and military-grade specifications. MYSTERY RANCH offers a wide range of bags, from everyday items to hunting, military, and mountaineering bags.

SUPERSET 24 & 32

Basic Information

The SUPERSET, which I’m introducing today from MYSTERY RANCH, is a daypack designed for everyday use, commuting, and gym trips, available in two sizes!

Previously, there was a product called the “SUPERSET 30,” but it has been discontinued. The two new items were introduced as part of the Fall/Winter 2024 collection with an updated design!

Although they share the same name as the previous model, this is not just a number change. The new models are significantly different, so please consider them as entirely new bags.

You can check out the previous model in this article.

Specifications

SUPERSET 32

・Dimensions: H51cm × W29cm × D27cm
・Weight: 1.3kg
・Capacity: 32L

SUPERSET 24

・Dimensions: H46cm × W27cm × D26cm
・Weight: 1.1kg
・Capacity: 26L

As the name suggests, the larger model has a 32L capacity. However, despite having “24” in its name, the smaller model actually holds 26L.

Both sizes come equipped with a chest strap and waist strap.

The waist strap comes with velcro, so you can secure it neatly when not in use, avoiding any inconvenience.

Additionally, both straps are detachable, allowing you to streamline the bag when they’re not needed.

The shoulder straps are padded, and the back panel also features firm padding for additional comfort.

The 32L model also includes these straps, which can be tightened to stabilize your load for better weight distribution!

On the top, there are four handles. When you’re sweating or need a break from wearing it on your back, you can carry it like a handheld bag, or hang it from a locker using these handles.

Storage Space

Now, let’s take a closer look at the storage space!

Since there are some differences between the two sizes, we’ll start by introducing the smaller model and then highlight the differences in the larger one!

Main Compartment

The top flap is equipped with drawstrings and buckles, and when opened, it leads directly to the main compartment.

One side features a zipper, so you can access your belongings without having to open the top flap every time—perfect for when you’re wearing the bag!

The zippers extend both up and down, providing easy access to items stored at the bottom of the bag!

The interior also features mesh pockets for easy access when opening the side zipper, along with expandable pockets and a padded laptop sleeve!

The base of the bag is padded to protect your belongings, and the laptop sleeve is raised from the bottom to prevent your device from touching the ground when you set the bag down.

This sleeve is also hydration-pack compatible, and there’s a hole on the back to route the hydration tube.

Additionally, the bag includes loops for attaching quickdraws, carabiners, and other climbing gear!

The top strap is normally secured with velcro, but it can be extended to carry items beyond the bag’s normal capacity!

Just be careful not to lose this velcro, as it isn’t sewn onto the bag.

Side Pockets

Both sides of the bag feature elastic bottle pockets, perfect for keeping your water bottles secure!

On the side with the zipper leading to the main compartment, there’s a horizontally oriented pocket designed for easy access, even while you’re wearing the backpack. On the opposite side, there is an additional internal pocket for extra storage.

Top Pocket

The flap at the top of the bag is also a pocket, providing convenient storage space!

In addition, there’s a smaller zippered pocket for items you need to keep secure.

Extra Features of the 32L Version

That wraps up the storage features of the smaller size. Now let’s look at what sets the larger 32L version apart!

In addition to the features found in the smaller model, the 32L version includes an extra zipper on the side that connects directly to the main laptop compartment.

The bottom of the 32L model also has a separate compartment, ideal for storing shoes or other items you want to keep separate.

Even the side pockets have slight variations for more versatility.

Conclusion

How do these new items from Mystery Ranch’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection sound?

Both sizes provide ample storage space for everything you need in a day, including a dedicated laptop compartment. These bags are perfect for daily use, commuting, and even hitting the gym directly after work!

Despite their urban usability, these bags also feature outdoor-ready specs, making them incredibly versatile!
