Thanks, Klint! Congratulations on being named the "Bag reviewer of the year," by Aaron over at Nomads nation!!!!!!! I agree with him!

[@ThePerfectBag]

Thanks that was very kind of him

[@brochg]

BRAVO to Mystery Ranch for making a bag that will rock a pair of 32oz Hydroflask water bottles!! This is a huge rarity today, and always a deal breaker for me when it doesn't exist.

[@dine-san3812]

YES, top load bags are the most useful for everyday carry and office situations! Also thank you for bringing some colour into the bag reviewing community! I am very tired of all the black bagpacks

[@ThePerfectBag]

#teamanythingbutblack

[@jonuiuc]

I always liked the look of that tri zip. Reminds me of a Mandalorian lol.

[@gz6hszeta]

Perhaps MR was inspired by Boba

[@RandoRaf]

Great review. I like the fact that you showed the bag not fully packed, was hard to find "real" review of that.

[@passion4knives]

I would love to see you do a video on the new mystery ranch 2 day EDC pack from REI. This catalyst series kind of missed the mark for me, but they made some changes to the 2 Day Assault pack and it is pretty much what I’m looking for now (just wish it didn’t have the molle for a cleaner appearance. Great reviews by the way!

[@gapmoeenthusiast]

The One Piece reference! Tri zip on these things always looked strange, but they’re starting to grow on me

[@mfinresearch6462]

One piece reference and and bag reviews!! I thought I saw a straw hat logo back there. I just started only in the 100s. I almost picked this bag up until I saw the 2 Day Edc Pack sold at REI. Looks like a cross between this and the 2 day assault.

[@iLLESTMADE]

Zoro/ OP references gets a "like" from me.

[@0f556]

Those zips break in.

[@brycetipton1543]

Hey! Love the video. Been watching your channel for a while. Was wondering if you have any experience with the camelbak ATP line? Considering the ATP 26 as a minimalist travel bag.

[@ThePerfectBag]

I don't! Haven't had hands on yet.

[@ryanstrickhouser]

Great review! This is one of the bags I was looking at purchasing in the near future. What is the bag on your right side that is gray, has orange zips and 2 patches on the front of it?

[@ThePerfectBag]

London Bridge Trading Daypack

[@bradbarfell8361]

Would you be able to fit any bigger of bottle in the side pocket such as a 46oz Yeti or in the 40oz pushing it?

[@ThePerfectBag]

do you have dimensions of that bottle? I don't have a 46 oz yeti - but maybe i can try something similar here.

[@rlfstr]

What is that yellow backpack to your right? (To your left, to my right to be exact) Just between the Brown Buffalo and the Vanquest ADDAX.

[@ThePerfectBag]

That’s a great bag. Jansport Watchtower. No longer made but one of the most handsome bags I’ve ever owned.

[@ZensivYT]

how is this compared to the 2 day assault pack?

[@ThePerfectBag]

Not too far off in size - as this is the largest of the Catalyst bags. This one def feels more purpose built for a work or school carry as opposed to the 2DAP adventure feel. The harness is better in the 2DAP in my experience - but I prefer this bag as it suits my lifestyle more.

[@jasonlee8534]

Love the videos, what is that gaming device?

[@ThePerfectBag]

[@itsjustashow]

I am between this bag and the Yeti crossroads 27l for a personal bag on airlines....thoughts?!

[@ThePerfectBag]

I like this one much better than the Yeti - I’ve had experience with both

[@itsjustashow]

@@ThePerfectBag thank you for replying! Love your channel! One last question. Catalyst 26 or 2 day assault?

[@ThePerfectBag]

Catalyst for me - but the harness is better on the 2DAP.

[@aman803]

God I love mystery ranch. Also I triple wield water bottles in my 3dap and sweetpea hahahaa

[@ThePerfectBag]

Triple-wielding is beyond me. Good on you.

[@gz6hszeta]

Despite the price, how is it compared to the Unicorn

[@ThePerfectBag]

I like this bag better than my unicorn. I wish it was made of the same materials though...because I like the unicorn colorway and XPAC better.

[@scarletNbloom]

I love that you know anime. Fellow weeb here. 😂 What's that bag in the back with the pink and black and white stripes? It looks neat!

[@ThePerfectBag]

That one is coming soon! Ogio

[@deej939]

Can you put a beavertail on that bad boi?

[@ThePerfectBag]

I don’t think so - outside of sewing it on.
