In a sea of ever-evolving materials, trends, and fashion fads, Montana-based Mystery Ranch is known for its commitment to purpose: making bombproof backpacks that will take a beating and won't quit. The maximalist company recently collaborated with SF-based retailer Huckberry on a minimalist version of their longtime best-seller, the Urban Assault pack.
Released today exclusively on Huckerry in a limited edition of just 300 packs, the new Huckberry x Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 21L backpack doesn't stray far from tradition, but still features a few key upgrades—inspired by Mystery Ranch's work with special operations teams like US Forest Service hotshot firefighters and the Navy SEALS—make the collaboration noteworthy.
