MYSTERY RANCH, the established pioneer in load-bearing R&D known for crafting the best backpacks worldwide, is excited to announce the launch of its new summer line. With a commitment to strength, speed, and overall performance for those living a rugged and demanding life, MYSTERY RANCH presents three fresh designs that embody their mission of merging quality, comfort, and environmental consciousness.
Since the company’s founding in 2000, MYSTERY RANCH has been actively committed to conserving the environment. They strive to build gear that reduces the impact on the planet by utilizing the best materials and methods that stand up to our legacy of quality and innovation, choosing fabrics that meet or exceed their Fit-For-Use Guidelines, ensuring that every product that we put out is durable and will endure the toughest conditions! In an age where fast fashion is destroying our taste as much as our environment, it’s always heart-warming to hear of companies like Mystery Ranch going above and beyond the call of duty and making quality gear that never needs to be replaced.
The new line includes the 3 Way 18 Expandable Briefcase, the Catalyst 26, and the 3 Way 27 Expandable Briefcase.

The 3 Way 18 Expandable Briefcase is a revolutionary carryware that adapts to your changing needs. Seamlessly converting between a shoulder bag, a backpack, and a briefcase, it is a versatile companion for your daily commute. Built with durable, partially recycled CORDURA® fabric and water-resistant YKK® coated zippers, 3 Way 18 stands ready to protect your belongings against the elements. Multiple pockets offer ample organization options, making this briefcase an accessory and a necessary part of your day.
Available in a palette of colors including Black, Sagebrush, Shadow, Tiger’s Eye, and Wildfire Black, the 3 Way 18 is the epitome of versatility and environmental consciousness.

Second in the lineup, the Catalyst 26, is a pack designed to withstand urban and outdoor adventures alike. Constructed from the same tough, recycled CORDURA® Nylon as its briefcase sibling, it promises to endure the roughest commutes or outdoor exploits. With pockets designed for laptops, tablets, notebooks, and even water bottles, it holds everything you need for your daily commute or multi-day trips.
Whether your adventures lead you to the office or overseas, the Catalyst 26 is ready to be your sturdy companion.

The 3 Way 27 Expandable Briefcase, the final and larger counterpart in the 3 Way series, boasts all the versatile features of the 18, but with increased capacity. It’s more than a briefcase – it’s a portable office and a souped-up carry-on. It offers space for a 17” computer and battery packs, while still providing room for an extra screen and headphones. Regardless of the demands of your daily commute, the 3 Way 27 is prepared to make your journey easier.
Just as MYSTERY RANCH was born and nurtured in the rugged landscapes of Bozeman, Montana, this new line of products has been engineered for those who yearn for adventure and can withstand the struggles that come with it. By extending their legacy of making packs that are flexible, durable, and, above all, comfortable to carry, MYSTERY RANCH continues to meet the needs of their discerning customers in all conditions.
These backpacks and briefcases, crafted for the long haul, echo an unassailable adage that MYSTERY RANCH holds dear: quality is never an accident—it is always the result of intelligent effort. So get ready for your next adventure, because MYSTERY RANCH has your back.
