A combination of clever storage practices, the Mystery Ranch Blitz Backpack boasts several compartment styles, while being able to securely attach to your person—whether you’re hopping over hurdles on that off-road shortcut to work, or wobbling on uneven hiking trails. The two easy-access outer units feature strip-webbing that you can attach small equipment to or use as a temporary tool hanger for projects that require you to go back and forth between using two hands and using said-tool. The laptop pocket, meanwhile, is padded and floating, safe from any hard-edged gear.
Mercifully, the shoulder straps, with both chest and waist belts, are designed to sit on your back with a high comfort-to-pack-weight ratio. The 500-Denier Cordura construction is the same heavy-duty nylon used on military gear, and with its side-pocket, ring-fortified water drain holes, this backpack offers pretty comprehensive protection from the elements.
