Heading down the rest of the straps, you’ll find a thin row of PALS-like webbing which gives the sternum strap a few different adjustable heights. Now, as you probably know, we prefer when bags have a permanent attachment point for the sternum strap—we’ve had too many fall out in transit. The folks at Mystery Ranch seem to have thought about this issue and used wider hardware that feels more secure than the thinner stuff we’ve seen on other sternum straps of this style.

The design itself is very serviceable too. Even the internal frame sheet can be removed for deep-cleaning or replacement. Features of the Urban Assault 24 500D Cordura Fabric 500D Cordura While researching thousands of durable products here at WellRigged.com one thing has become abundantly clear. Let me put it this way… 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.

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 Logo 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 Going 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.

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.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 There are also small nylon tabs located at the end of each zipper that you can hold onto with one hand to keep the bag sturdy, while you use the other to glide the zippers open and closed. We like this thoughtful addition and have found that it helps make for an effortless zip every time. Plus, you can use those nylon tabs to fasten additional gear with a carabiner in a pinch. 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. The 3-Zip design has allowed for easy access to the bottom of the bag—it’s been easy to grab a balled-up hoodie out of the bottom of the bag

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. Last, and probably least, is the top handle. It seems like an afterthought. It’s a plain nylon strap with no structure or padding. Some of that dense foam from the shoulder straps (and you thought we moved on) would have been nice. Or folding the handle material in half and sewing it together—which we’ve seen other companies do—would at least give the illusion of padding. Alas, Mystery Ranch could not be bothered. Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 24 Top HandleThere’s no way around it—this bag is comfortable. The super-adjustable harness system lets you customize your carry, regardless of body type. It feels like Mystery Ranch gave a lot of thought into how this bag rides over long stretches.
