Calling all gearheads and adrenaline adventure enthusiasts. We are on a never-ending quest to create gear that not only meets the needs of our customers but also blows theirs minds with its sheer performance and innovation. We recently introduced our HIGH WATER Series, our new waterproof collection that’s ready to ride the waves and keep your belongings soaring high and dry. Prepare to dive right in as we unveil the features, technology, and versatility of each of the six bad boys in the HIGH WATER Series.
The Tech
Meticulously engineered with an unwavering commitment to watertight perfection, the HIGH WATER Series sets the bar sky-high. Through innovative construction methods, materials, and trims, this collection of packs and accessories excels in the elements and stands up to daily use.
Fabric Selection
After much research, the MYSTERY RANCH team handpicked the ultimate fabric for the HIGH WATER Series: the rugged 840d ballistic nylon, fortified with a double-sided TPU coating. This combination not only ensures unrivaled waterproofness, but also showcases unparalleled resilience against abrasions, tears, and extreme temperatures. Come rain or shine, high or low temperatures, this fabric remains flexible and ready for any adventure that comes your way.
Construction Wizardry
The MYSTERY RANCH Product and Development Team harnessed the power of RF welding, a technique also known as High-Frequency Welding. Through the application of radio frequency energy, materials fuse together, forming airtight and waterproof seams. Unlike traditional sewing methods, RF welding eradicates the need for puncturing holes in the fabric, resulting in seams that exceed the strength of the material itself.
Revolutionary Zipper Technology
In our relentless pursuit of creating a durable and user-friendly bag opening, we have seamlessly integrated TRUZip® technology. This cutting-edge sliding zipper assembly has revolutionized the industry with its toothless design, ensuring noiseless operation while offering unrivaled protection against dust, water, and submersion. By incorporating TRUZip®, it has elevated our packs from being merely water-resistant to truly water-submersible, providing an unparalleled level of assurance for safeguarding your belongings.
“During the development of the HIGH WATER collection, it was essential to find and qualify a waterproof zipper. We selected the NiteIze TRUZip® not only for its ability to deliver a watertight seal but also for its innovative self-healing properties.”
-Emily Fay, Product Development Manager.

“There’s something cool about getting back to the boat ramp or dock and you’re the only one who has dry gear. That’s what it’s like since I’ve been rocking these MYSTERY RANCH bags. From the salt flats of Mexico to the rushing waters of the Colorado, to my students spilling gatorade over my bag, still dry. I really enjoy the simplicity and color.
