Thread: mystery ranch packs

Anyone have any experience of packs from these guys?

http://www.mysteryranch.com run by Dana Gleason founder of Dana Designs

Article about them in the new issue of Powder.

I thought this was going to be a fast-food salad thread.

wha wha what, bozeman has another pack manufacturer

What do you mean, "another"?

I've seen them at the OR show; they're cool designs and appear to be bomber...

My wife got a G-5000 last summer and loves it. Adjustments to fit ya galore. Super comfortable and well designed. She says there are lots of little "things" about it that make it very well designed.

Thumbs up

oh yeah.......Bozeman representing!

More like, "replacing" the old DD that Krap2 bought and crushed under the wheels of globalism.

But aside from where they are made, what has changed about the Dana Designs packs since Dana Gleason sold out? I am not completley sold on Mysery Ranch yet. Kelty tried to help it out when they used the frames two years ago and that didn't go so far. It seems like all the Mystery Ranch stuff is just an expensive copy of the original. The Arcflex suspension is still one of the best designs on the market especially when fit by someone who knows what they are doing. And besides, even though they are owned by k2 the folk at Dana still know what they are doing.
