Way to go !
I purchased this backpack approximately 3 months ago but wanted to test it out in multiple conditions before giving it a review. Heat, snow, alpine this pack preformed super well ! Great design with super high quality durable construction. What really stands out is the way that it fits. With its stretch chest panels and dual chest straps it fits like a glove making it a high preforming pack as well !!!

New SAR Bag
Nice profile against the back for getting through brush, and 35L is just about what I need to keep gear focused. I currently have 35Lbs of the gear I carry (larger med kit, water and basic gear) and it's pretty comfortable; lots of ways to adapt fit. The main body material is very light and strong but some of the fabric choices, such as the hip belt pockets and side bottle pockets have an elasticity that doesn't feel quite as solid but is usefully stretchy.

Wonderful pack!!
What a great pack! If you're serious about taking a trail this is the pack for you. Heavy enough to carry anything you need, light enough to be considered an extended day pack. Mystery Ranch really hit a home run with this line.

Most comfortable
I bought this pack in preparing for the Du Mont Blanc hike but ultimately decided this pack was a bit larger than I needed. But I did test it out a bit with the kit I prepared to day hike with. This pack has to be the most comfortable pack I’ve ever tried on. The yoke material and padding is superior to the normal setup by mystery ranch. And not that the regular one is uncomfortable at all. The dual chest harness design hugs you like a vest and takes the load off your shoulders for even more comfort. It is a bit different or odd to have a dual chest strap but extremely comfortable. This pack is also slim in design that causes the gear you pack to become tighter to your body, nearly flat compared to a round obtrusive bulge on your back. This provides some ease of maneuver if you might get in amongst some trees and thick brush I imagine. Over all, I would have kept it, but the 35L seemed a bit much for a day hike type pack I was looking for.

Exactly What I Need in a Day Pack
I bought this pack to replace my older one that I've had for 15 years. I was looking for a pack that I could take to last me a day (24-hour pack). The Bridger 35 looked promising, and I wasn't disappointed! This pack offers the essentials for anyone looking to go outdoors for the day. So far, I have taken it out three times for hikes ranging about 5 to 10 miles with around 20-25 pounds of gear, and what I've found is that the pack, when seated right (instructions on how to fit are on the tag, also there are YouTube videos available) this pack takes the weight from your back, allowing you to have a comfortable hike without having to adjust. I have another Mystery Ranch pack (Coulee 50), which I take for a 2-3 (48-72 hour) excursion, and found it to be a fantastic pack, which led me to come back to them for another, where I discovered the Bridger 35, and I couldn't be happier with the results!

Fabulous Midsize Pack
I purchased this pack to replace a Mystery Ranch 25 liter as I needed higher capacity for an extended, four season outing (read: more room for a puffy, Jetboil, etc). It is now my favorite two/three day pack and will replace my current go bag for the vehicle. It is well thought out, well designed and has the same quality for which MR is known.

Amazing pack
I finally got this out yesterday for a longer hike, and wow, was I impressed. I had to adjust the torso pad a little, and once I had that dialed in, I hardly knew it was on my back. And that was with about 23 pounds of gear. They really hit it out of the park with this design. The runner's harness chest setup helps distribute weight so well, I almost didn't need the hip belt. The pack has just the right amount of organization (I'd recommend getting a zoid for the hangers above the bladder sleeve) and I love the way it can function both as a top-loader and as a panel loader, with the side zips allowing it to fillet out and make access very easy. I do wish there were a few more pockets on the chest harness, like a zippered pocket on one or both sides for flatter devices like a phone, but just having the two is so convenient. Love this pack!

Super Winter daypack/overnighter!
I bought this pack this past summer, and didn't bring out until shoulder season and now the winter. I've had the opportunity to load this up with 25ish pounds to this point and it carries extremely well. Have done a 12 and 7 mile winter day hike most recently, and it carries all my essentials + layers for the winter extremely well. Had a 2L bladder inside + 2 liters on the outside and I didn't feel like the pack was uncomfortable in the slightest. As well, I brought it out for a winter overnight and was able to carry all my gear (pad, two quilts, tent externally) without a single issue along with 2L of water, essentials, and extra layers. It was snug, but the pack had no troubles!

A pretty remarkable day pack
I've always used Gregory products (and I still do), but a purchased this to replace a well-used Zulu 40. The double strap "joggers" harness took a little bit to get used to but what a game changer. It enables this pack to fit more snuggly and comfortable than any other i've come across. The breathable endurance yoke provides a lot of comfort as well and is easily adjustable. This may sound weird, but both pockets on the hip belt zip towards you (from left to right, back to front) and this makes them infinitely easier to use while wearing the pack with the hip belt clipped. I also dig the mesh lined holders on each side of the interior of the backpack. The material seems sturdy and I appreciate all of the attach loops. I also like that there are two straps at the bottom of the pack that you can use to attach things such as a tarp (similar to a larger overnight packs). Now for some of my drawbacks (I'll try not to be as "nitpicky" as a lot of the hiking community seems to be about gear). The water bladder holder is small. I tried to put on empty Platypus 2L in it and I had to really shove it in (empty), which makes me think I would def. not try to put a full bladder in. I also used a similar Gregory water bladder that was taller and thinner (2L) and it would probably fit full, but it comes way up to the zipper of the pack. The water bottle holders on the strap don't hold bottles much more than a 24oz Polar squeeze bottle. I can't really equate that to the collapsable bottles because i don't use them, but I would assume it's similar. Also, this pack is manufactured in VIETNAM, not the US. I tried looking into that, but never could find out beforehand. I should have asked so that's my fault. Overall, this pack (in my opinion) is phenomenal. Unlike most of the hiking community i'm not some hipster, leftist hiking "expert," but I tend to hike around Western PA twice or more times a week and I really think this pack will serve me well. I recommend reading the "about" section of their website. It seems like the owners really take pride in their products and have created this brand out of passion, not necessarily for monetary gain. Is it pricey...yes (i'll admit I was blessed enough to receive a discount), but I still believe the old adage is true...you get what you pay for.

Given the 35's measurements (24"x12"x12") does this mean the sides are expandable to 12"? Sounds like an odd question, but this pack is not available to check out at any of my local retailers and i want to be certain of the measurements. Thanks

Will my Grayl Geopress fit in the side pockets of the pack body? Are there straps or some way to retain the Geopress?

Will a standard bear canister (BV 450 or 500) fit in this pack somehow? Whether in the pack or strapped under the hood.

Can I use it as a carryon, does it fit under the seat of most common airlines? I want to use it on my business trips overseas. But also to be able to go explore during those trips. Thanks!

Is the waistbelt removable? I have a 22" torso but 30" waist so most L size packs fit in the torso but cant cinche the waist belt tight enough to carry the load effectively. This can be remediated if I simply could swap out for a small size waistbelt.
