With over four decades of design and manufacturing experience – coupled with simultaneous in-the-field testing and real-world hammering – we've learned a thing or two about load transfer, active framing and the importance of using only the most top-shelf materials.

Unlike the smaller Urban Assault 21, the 24 has a compartment with direct exterior access. That saves a whole lot of digging around when you’re on the move. The main compartment is also pretty spacious. With a capacity of 21 liters, there’s definitely enough space for all your everyday necessities. Or even some clothes for a weekend getaway. Laptop And Tablet Sleeves I undervalued it before, but never again. This is an excellent bag, and if you are left wanting in other bags like the GR1, take a look at this one — it will likely fill the void for you. It’s finding its way to my office more and more these days.This is the unique part of the Urban Assault. The 3-ZIP design means you can open just the top or zip down the whole bag like a duffel.

Looking at the shoulder straps first, they’re densely padded with spongey mesh that helps cushion your shoulders—it’s comfortable enough for more extended wear. We’re also thankful for the air mesh lining that helps keep us well-ventilated. Our only wish is for some elastic keepers to manage the excess strap, but it’s not a deal-breaker by any means. This is an easy aftermarket addition by using something like the Tom Bihn Strap Keepers or MacGyvering something up with VELCRO Brand Cable Ties. Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 21 Harness System There is enough organization on this bag to be very useful, but not enough to make the bag overly structured or less versatile. Just right. We’ve still been comfortable enough keeping our laptop inside as is, given the support from the frame sheet and the significant suspension of the sleeve from the bottom of the bag. The laptop compartment has a nice false bottom. Both of these features keep our tech protected when it’s getting shuffled around on our commute or if (when) we accidentally drop it. Pro Tip: Get a carabiner to keep your water bottle easily accessible! Fit and Adjustability – 4 Stars Experience a superior level of comfort while carrying your gear with Valhalla Tactical Enhanced Shoulder Straps.

More questions? Here’s Task & Purpose’s additional brief. Q. How much does the Mystery Ranch Urban Assault cost? Although it is slim it reaches the full depth of the bag. I’d suggest using a document folder to prevent bent document edges when you put the bag down. Bonus: Hydration Bladder Compatible If you want a bit more access, there’s the third, vertical zipper. It opens up the main compartment fully and helps you get to the things at the bottom of the main compartment in a matter of seconds. And it is also removable– a good option to have if you don’t actually like sternum straps. You’re okay without it if you’re going to school or work. Durable, well-design products are painstakingly developed over time and multiple production cycles. They are refined through systematic testing and careful incremental improvements.

You also have a sleeve in front of this one for your tablet or e-reader if you carry one with you, although we’ve been using it as a spot for a keyboard. We’ll give the same explanation as we did for the laptop: you can be confident that when your tech is in this sleeve, it’s safe and secure from unexpected drops. It carries weight great up to 7,5kg or more if you go shopping after work with a loptop and accessories.The Urban Assault 24 makes a light and nimble “go bag.” It sits high and snug and there is no need for a hip belt. While researching thousands of durable products here at WellRigged.com one thing has become abundantly clear. Let me put it this way… These bags feature the same design principles and durability that MYSTERY RANCH is known for and are built to survive the harshest commute, wherever that may be. But is it so good that it’s worth the triple-digit price tag? In this Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 21 review, we are going to find out! It’s more comfortable than some of the other cheaper Mystery Ranch bags I have tried, and more comfortable than the Fixed 1 Day Assault I reviewed. It works well.
