Mystery Ranch 2 Day Assault Backpack: Looking For The Best EDC!

Thanks for watching... In this video I share with you the Mystery Ranch 2 Day Assault Pack. Honestly, when I first saw the tri-zip design I wasn't really a fan but after using it I have changed my mind. In my eyes this is one of the best EDC packs that Mystery Ranch sells. A couple of features make this pack rise to the top of my EDC list. Aqua-guard YKK zippers, 500 D Cordura, adjustable back panel and decent organization.

I just tried on a whole slew of different packs at my local sportsman's warehouse and this one made my top 3 and would probably lean heavy toward making this the one I'd get out of everything and the three zipper access had a big deal with making it stand out from the rest. Even just spending a few minute in the store I could tell how amazing that 3 zip system can be. Your review was excellent and very detailed thank you

Yessssssssirrr I agree with you on this pack! I love Mystery Ranch’s military line of gear, I used to have the “Sweet Pea” in coyote, which is one of their first and original 3DAP packs, but has the daisy chain system vs the molle which I don’t mind. I like the aesthetics and legendary tri-zip for ease of access to your stuff. You also cant beat the comfort and thought that went into their Futura yoke system which is a game changer as it works well with their insert system for internal organization. Great review George and love that you talked about both the pros and cons of the pack. Thanks for a thorough review GD!

@@GeorgeDEFINED I love it so far...only a few very minor gripes...#1 like you said, the drag handle could have been better executed, I wrapped some 550 cord around mine and that basically fixed it so no big deal...#2 the zipper pulls could have been better like the maxpedition ones you put on yours or the ones that come on an eberlestock bag, I swapped mine out already, easy fix...#3 there is a small section inside the bag (by the tube pockets, the verticle zipper splits it in 2) they could have added another peice to cover the backside of the cordura and all the MOLLE stitching, just to give it a more finished look. But these are very minor complaints...it's super comfortable, I dig it.

I think this pack looks dope. I love it when designers come up with looks that are totally different. The three zipper look at functionality is pretty sweet. I haven't had the opportunity to use tri-zip pack, but I'm sure I will eventually end up buying one. Seriously digging the harness system on this one. Well thought out, and the curvature concept is super intriguing. Trying to make backpacks more ergonomically correct should make it easier to carry heavier loads longer. There is definitely some "wow" factor built into this one. Thanks George!

I’d still love to see you review the REI trail 40. While a bit on the large side, I’ve used it as an edc bag for work when I have a bit more of a gear intensive carry. There’s a lot of people online who love this bag for a travel bag or crag bag, or something else. It’s gotten some updates, some good and some bad, and the price went from $99(i think) to $109 and now $129, but I still think it’s a great bag. It can be used for day hiking, backpacking, travel, and more. It seems like there’s some overlap with this 2 day assault. My brother actually got the trail 40 a couple years before joining the Air Force and then they actually provided him with a 3 day assault pack, so he has a couple great bags now.

@braswes 4 жыл бұрын

First - great review. I own this pack, and I learned new things about it from watching your video. I agree with your comment about the MOLLE webbing, particularly on the front panels. It has no useful purpose, especially with compression straps going across the bag that would interfere with any pouches you hung on the front. I actually use the side panel webbing to clip water bottles / umbrellas in the side pockets to ensure that they can’t fall out. I have 2 other cons to this pack. I have difficulty making it stand up on its own, I always need to lean it against something or it falls over. Also, the side laptop access is pretty small. I have a 15 inch laptop and its a hassle to get to it that way. I end up just opening the top. To be fair, the access works ok for my 13 inch MacBook Pro. All that said, it has replaced a GR1 21 as my daily driver and I don’t see that changing any time soon.

Have you checked out any Tom Bihn bags? The Synapse 25 is a great backpack with a ton of organization, and it is made in the USA. I carry a messenger bag EDC, but the Synapse is my go to backpack when I need one. I do want to check out the 2DAP, though. Three-zip design seems pretty logical to me.
