The all-new CATALYST Series: Staying True to MYSTERY RANCH’S Heritage with Conscious Material Choices

Introducing the CATALYST Series by MYSTERY RANCH – a multi-use everyday 3-ZIP design while seamlessly integrating modern construction techniques for a rejuvenated and sleek aesthetic.

The 3-ZIP was born in Bozeman, MT as a direct response to the challenges faced by backcountry skiers yearning for unfettered accessibility. The notion was simple yet transformative: a backpack’s contents ought to be effortlessly reachable from summit to base. This foundational idea has since woven its narrative into the tapestry of our offerings, spanning across diverse product lines – from the everyday carry in the CATALYST Series to the rigor of the military domain

You can call it part of our origins story.

Designed with Preferred Materials

We’re actively putting in the effort to find ways to be kinder to the environment. That means we’re committed to making our backpacks last longer and use .

And the same attitude went We’re proud to say that these backpacks are made with CORDURA® re/cor™ RN66 fabrics. These fabrics are reclaimed pre-consumer waste materials. We’ve rigorously tested them, and they’ve passed with flying colors. The entire CATALYST Series is crafted from these preferred materials we’ve even used recycled nylon for the webbing. It’s all part of our commitment to making gear that’s not just great for you, but also for the world we all share.
