Rated 4 out of 5 by Bob1969 from limitationsThis was my first Mystery Ranch pack. I was looking for something that was designed for heavier loads. I carry tools for prospecting and trail clearing. Usually 40 lbs plus. I did not need volume. Just good structure. The bridger did not meet that need. The hip belt padding just barely covered my hip bones. I am 6'2 and 210 lbs. It was not structurally stout enough for my purpose. It should be fine for a smaller person with lighter loads. I have purchased the hot shot and it works fine. There is a weight penalty for that structure. For me, the weight is not as critical as the way the load is distributed. I am happy with Mystery Ranch. I just ordered the wrong pack for my needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Larry from Unmatched quality and design.This Bridger 45 is the second Mystery Ranch backpack I’ve purchased in the last 4 months, the first being the Bridger 55. The Bridger 45 lends itself well in the ultralight community at slightly over 4 lbs but maintains the exceptional comfort of a Mystery Ranch traditionally framed pack. The excellent carrying stability of this pack will impress weather rock hopping streams, traversing boulder fields, or on steep ascents and descents. You can not go wrong selecting this pack for weekend, section, or thru hiking. The quality in materials, design, and craftsmanship are, in my opinion, unmatched across the industry.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mac21 from BrilliantI’ve used Mystery Ranch for a few years of total time in Afghanistan. It has been a while since I did much backpacking but they continue to be the standard bearer for innovation solutions. The harness Taking its cues from distance running harnesses is absolutely brilliant. I did 50+ miles through Chilean Patagonia with this thing and I didn’t have even a whisper of a rash or irritation. Well done. I did purchase a M based on measurements on the website and the harness came as a S/M. Im 6’0 210-215 and think just going for large would probably have made the waists strap a little more comfortable. Not that it isn’t comfortable, it just seems to sit with the side pouches in a strange location and I think going up a size would’ve been better, but it’s still completely useable and comfortable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bob Moua from Over performed.Bought the black 45 liter a month ago and did a 3 days, 2 nights in the back country of Yosemite in June. Wonderful, heavy duty and comfortable bag. On my trip, total weight came out the 25.6, which wasnt too heavy but the weight was well distributed and balance. I love the waist belt and double sterum belt. This pack can hold alot of stuff with its multi side and front pockets. This pack is so diverse with its adjustable back. The paddings are the best I have seen and used. Bridger 45L is so well rounded-top loader straps, double sterum strap, top load mini bag, it has it all. Only complaint I have is when I stuff 20oz water bottles on each front shoulder carrier, it tends to press against my arm/chest are more than I want. Maybe going down to a smaller water bottles will help. Its not an ultralight pack but overall, it is built tough and Im sure it can hold more weight than I gave it. Well done MR!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Skrap from Color combination great, velcro adjustment not soThis pack arrived a week ago. Love the colors and features. But the Velcro will not stay together and rips apart from the backpack and frame. I’ve contacted customer service and haven’t heard from them in a day since I sent everything they wanted. Patiently waiting for response and hope not to send it back and go another backpacking brand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MtnMan from I am a fanI do not have your typical hiker's physique. I am 5'9 250 pounds. This pack has enough adjustment that it fits me comfortably, and doesn't get looser the longer I hike. I am sold on mystery ranch.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Steve NW Mountaineering from Another Fantastic Bridger PackMystery Ranch took the great elements of the larger Bridger packs and they incorporated them into the Bridger 45. It's a great pack, that I'm using as I write this. I also have a Bridger 55 and 65. Obviously, this line of packs is my new go to!The lower compartment is roomy enough for a sleeping bag, or my rain gear using the same enhanced cross-zip opening as the 55 and 65. The main compartment is easily accessed by the double full zip openings for packing my sleeping pad, cook stove, food, and clothing. A great feature to this pack is the detachable lid. It is easily detached, and it is large enough to use for day hikes, or as a satchel for other uses. I only have one issue with the Bridger Series of packs. I use the water bottle attachments on the front straps to carry my navigation (compass or GPS) and bear spray. These attachments are mounted to a 1 inch strap that tends to roll when putting the pack on. If there is some way to reinforce the backing of the bottle holders, it would probably be a good fix. I would like to discuss this mod with the MR design team.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TShawver from Mystery Ranch for everything!Bought this Bridget 45 to carry my camera gear and go pro gear around at the softball complexes during the summer. Then we empty it out and use it for our camping/hunting trips as well. We use mystery ranch packs, zoid bags, pouches for everything we do!! Thank you for making such durable, comfortable, and long lasting gear!!!
