MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION All Mystery Ranch packs in this catalog are made in the U.S. All sewn materials are U.S. made –rom the bers up through every stage o production. These packs are ully IR and Berry-compliant.
Fabrics Our primary abric is 500 d enier Cordura nylon. Tough Tougher er than traditional ALICE-style packcloth, 500d Cordura is around hal the weight o 1000d Cordura. This can mean a pound lighter pack. 500d Cordura has superior waterproong waterproong qualities and just plain makes a better pack. 1000d Cordura is a little tougher, but anything that damages 500d Cordura will damage 1000d as well. The dierence in durability comes comes down to minutes while the dierence in weight is double. The bottoms o all o our packs are double layered. The inner layer is stitched 1/2” smaller than the outer layer which places the bulk o the load’s weight on that inner layer layer,, leaving the outer unstressed to maximize the material’s material’s waterproo and abrasion resistance qualities. Where there’s there’s a need to stien the packbag itsel we use X-Pac. X-Pac is a laminate that sandwiches thick strands o polyester between an inner and outer abric layer. These strands stien the abric, giving the bag additional structure and load control properties. All pack shrouds are built out o coated and water resistant 200d nylon which is tougher than most tent foors, yet fexible enough to seal tightly. All military abrics are IR-compliant and double-coated: one side with a polyurethane coating, the other side with a Tefon treatment or excellent water resistance. For places that require stretchy and/or compressive material we use Spandura, a hi-tech abric that combines the toughness o Cordura with the stretch o Lycra. Made o Cordura bers spun around a Lycra core, it provides a level o abrasion resistance never beore approached in a stretch abric. For areas on the packs that experience extreme abrasion, we use Hypalon. Hypalon is traditionally what the toughest whitewater rats are built rom. Our Coyote and Foliage Cordura cloths are solution-dyed, i.e. the ber is colored beore it is woven. This imparts an inherent IR masking that piecedyed abrics lack. All web and buckles are also IR-compliant. IR-compliant. Our Multicam packs come with matching matching woven webbing webbing and are built to meet IR requirements.

Thermoplastics, Alloys and Composites Fiberorge, a thermoplastics company we’ve partnered with, builds our Framesheet Adjusters. These adjusters are a thermoplastic composite material created by using berglass with recycled pop bottles. Per pound the resulting material is lighter than aluminum and stier than steel. We have several versatile aircrat alloys to choose rom when using aluminum in our raming. These alloys are strong, light, and bendable, yet retain their shape once ormed to our specs. Carbon ber is the key ingredient in the NICE Frame. Carbon ber is incredibly strong, impressively light, and remains fexible under massive loads.
Foams With attention to memory and durability, each oam we use is chosen or appropriate rmness, breathability,, and cushioning. breathability
Parts and Accessories All main zippers are YKK #10 and all lid and pocket zippers are YKK #8. All zipper sliders are Black Oxide plated, which produces a ar more durable zipper than painted sliders. All grommets or drawcords are Black Oxide plated and mounted in a 500d Cordura reinorcement. reinorcement. All web is mil-spec nylon, and all plastic buckles are tough Delrin made by National Molding. For serious lashing and compression options we use the National Molding Autolock buckles.
