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.

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. At the top of the straps, you’ll find load lifters. But these aren’t just any ordinary load lifters. These load lifters (how many times can we say “load lifters” in one paragraph?) are adjustable in two different places, which adds to the customizability of this harness system. Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 24 Load LiftersOne thing to note in this compartment: you can really see and feel the curved frame sheet. It’s flexible enough to pull out of the way when accessing your tech gear, but we have noticed that sliding a laptop in and out can feel a little cumbersome.

This bag is more of a hybrid between urban and outdoor use and style, but different colorways bring out different vibes. The more muted shades fit the citified aesthetic, while a colorway like Wood Waxed or Coyote feels more outdoorsy. Of course, what you choose all depends on your preferences! Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 21 Material and LogoGoing hiking? Just use the laptop sleeve for a hydration bladder(without the laptop of course). Just feed the hose out through the zippered opening on the top of the bag. Bonus: The Hidden Stash The Urban Assault 24 is an upgraded version of the popular Urban Assault 21. Along with the signature 3-Zip design, it adds more capacity, a direct-access laptop sleave, oodles more organization and external water bottle holsters. The bag’s sternum strap is secured to nylon straps on each shoulder strap and can easily be moved up and down to wherever it offers the most support. The sternum strap’s hardware is also equipped with a bungee cord you can use to secure the hose of a water bladder so it’s not flailing around as you walk. Cordura” is a nylon fabric brand originally developed by Dupont and widely respected as an industry-standard in ultra-durable nylon fabrics ( source). Plenty of thought has gone into the Urban Assault 24’s design. For instance, to remain stealthy, the Urban Assault uses paracord zipper pulls instead of noisy metal tags. Also, every zipper has a webbing loop sowed to the ends to serve as counter-grips to grab onto while zipping and unzipping. Benefits of the 3-Zip Design Mystery Ranch’s Signature 3-Zip design

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. The slimmer profile and streamlined exterior make it great for both everyday use and travel—it even fits under an airplane seat. Plus, the unique 3-ZIP gives you full access to your stuff without needing a clamshell opening. Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 24 Under Airplane Seat We’re glad you dig this post! But first, please take a few moments to sign up as a member of our EDC community below. Something to note: adjusting this harness system does take a bit of getting used to (it was weird at first), but once you figure it out, you’ll be traveling in comfort. Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 24 Shoulder Straps In Use Even if the Urban Assault 24 was completely emptied, flipped upside down and shaken you would never find this cool little stash. Although not purpose-built for a stash, I discovered this neat hiding spot while doing a close inspection of the laptop compartment for this Urban Assault 24 review.

A bag that's too heavy to carry will be highly uncomfortable for you to EDC. And when weight is restricted, like on an airplane, a bag with a higher initial unloaded weight means you can fit fewer travel goodies inside before paying extra fees. Capacity
