Why We Like The Mystery Ranch Radix 47L Backpack
The Mystery Ranch Radix 47L Backpack perfectly toes the line between a gear-intensive daypack and an overnight backpacking bag. The 47 liters of internal space is just enough room for us to pack our lightweight backpacking gear or hold food, water, and layers on ambitious day hikes. The lightweight aluminum frame can be removed for maximum weight savings, allowing us to burn some rubber as we zoom along the trail, or can be left in for structured, stable support. The external side and back pockets all expand to accommodate larger items or can be compressed down for a sleeker profile, and the offset front panel zipper allows us to get a full view of our pack and quickly grab what we need without having to completely unpack.

New purchase, Imitially looks great!
Ive had this for a couple weeks now, so not a lot of use so far. Loaded with a 24hr kit (~20lbs) it carries great. Fit and finish are very good, all seams and stitching are tight and straight. The compression strap buckles are somewhat small, so will be interesting to see how those hold up. But the fact the straps are removable is great, you can easily change them out for something heavier in event of failure. Hip belt pockets are a little small, but well placed with easy to operate zippers. The adjustable torso length is easy to use and works well. Hip belt fits well, with lots of length available to go from being in shorts to full winter kit.

Mystery Ranch Durability -- Light Weight!
I LOVE this pack. I have this and the Radix 57 as well, and several other packs from MR. All of them carry a load amazingly well, and all are very durable. The Radix series is great for backpacking, they're light and extremely well built and thought out. This line has everything I need, carries loads extremely comfortably for a long time, and isn't overburdened with overdesigned pockets, zips, compartments, etc. A really versatile, well-designed backpacker's dream.

The Perfect Pack!
I bought this pack about 6 months ago for a through hike around Mt. Blanc in France. I trained carrying a 45 lbs load six miles roundtrip up and down a peak by my house with 2500' vertical gain. After probably 50 up and downs for training and then the through hike of 100 miles around the Trail Du Mont Blanc, I must say this pack does not disappoint. I honestly have nothing negative. Every time I thought a feature was silly or didn't work I found an opportunity to use it later on. -The top is large and spacious with a huge pocket. The extra waterproof durable zipper holds everything in and keeps it dry. -Large internal pocket with a nice side zipper when you need it. I also like the cinch strap and the over latch that fits really well. -Exterior is perfect. From hanging wet socks in the pole holders to cramming rain gear and water bottles on the outside. I also stuck in micro trax in the pockets for quick use on snow travel. -Straps are super comfortable (make sure you follower their sizing and fitting videos!). Back piece is comfortable and breathes perfect. My last thought is I highly recommend the zoid bags. I bought the small black on for extra quick stuff at the top (headlamp, inreach, etc...) and then my toiletries went in the big orange on the sipper side of the bag. Get the clear ones...they are time savers! This is an amazing bag. I looked a lot of other bags....a lot of other bags. I ultimately pulled the trigger with Mystery Ranch because they stood by their product. However, I got quite the chuckle when I rolled into Chamonix on day 8 of being on the trail hiking anywhere from 12-22 miles a day in snow and rain, and my bag still looked brand new! So the ultimate downfall is you don't get any street cred for a tattered roughed up bag because it is bomber. Highly recommend, five stars, you won't regret!

Amazing backpack
In the field: the bag is quickly forgotten, the comfort is incredible (better than the Osprey Aether which for me is one of the benchmarks in terms of comfort despite more padding on the Osprey) but that is specific to each person of course. I think the independent RADIX belt must play a role? Maybe, in any case the comfort is fantastic. Sorry for the broken English, I use google translate

Amazing Pack All Around
I got this in just in time for a week-long Alpine Medicine course in Slovenia. It packed all my gear (and extra team gear) easily and made it feel like a quarter of the weight it really was. The pack held up well through days in deep snow, and even when placed the snow nothing inside ever got wet. The three large exterior pockets were spacey, and the center exterior pocket fit the avalanche rescue kit (shovel, probe, and ice axe) perfectly. The top admin pocket holds way more than it looks, and the interior of the pack loads easily, especially with the full-length zipper. I could not be happier with this pack.

Is there a drawstring around the top hem of the main body of the pack? I see where there looks to be a strap inside, but am wondering what is around the top.

Has anyone used this pack while wearing a helmet? I was wondering if the back of the helmet bumps the top of the frame/pack when looking up?

Where is this made?

I am trying to decide between the 47 and 57. Is the main compartment 47l or is the volume calculated with all exterior pockets included? I use an REI flash 55 currently and I fill it up.

Since the Radix is being marketed as a thru-hiking pack (as one of many uses), how do you recommend a bear canister be carried? If inside the pack, will a BV500 fit horizontally in the 47 or the 57?
