Mystery Ranch Metcalf 75
~$575
Hunting Pack

Mystery Ranch's flagship western hunting pack, rebuilt in 2024 on the lighter Ultra Light MT frame with a roll-top closure and the signature Overload shelf that sandwiches meat between frame and bag. At 5.3 lbs and $575 complete, it undercuts most bag-and-frame competitors on price while keeping the brand's tank-like 330D CORDURA construction.

~$550
Hunting Pack

Mystery Ranch's day-to-overnight meat hauler, refreshed for 2025 on the new MYSTERIUM frame with lighter Robic Kodra ripstop and a weatherproof CORDURA 5PM coating. The U-shaped 270-degree zipper opens the bag flat, and the patented Overload shelf turns a 43-liter day pack into a legitimate elk-quarter hauler. A 63-liter Sawtooth 65 joined the line in 2025 for multi-day trips.

Mystery Ranch Beartooth 85
~$650
Hunting Pack

Mystery Ranch's flagship expedition hunting pack, reborn for 2025 on the new MYSTERIUM frame that replaced both the Beartooth 80 and its Guide Light MT chassis. The signature 270-degree duffel-style zipper opens the 85-liter bag like a suitcase, and the patented Overload shelf sandwiches meat between frame and bag for 5-10 day backcountry hunts. It took Hunt Alaska's Editor's Choice award for 2026.

Mystery Ranch Pintler
~$499
Hunting Pack

A streamlined overnight-to-multiday hunting pack on Mystery Ranch's proven Guide Light MT frame, with a 3-ZIP front opening for fast access and the Overload sling that sandwiches game quarters between frame and bag. At 38.6 liters it splits the difference between day pack and multiday hauler, built from burly 500D CORDURA.

Mystery Ranch Pop Up 40
~$475
Hunting Pack

The Pop Up 40 replaced the discontinued Pop Up 38 as Mystery Ranch's whitetail-focused hauler: a 40-liter daypack whose telescoping aluminum frame pops up in seconds to deploy the OVERLOAD load sling between bag and frame. That turns a treestand day pack into a legitimate 80-pound meat hauler without carrying a dedicated frame pack to the stand.
