Mystery Ranch Dragon 2.0 Incoming

Just a quick note, this years Mystery Ranch x Carryology collaboration is here in the form of the Dragon 2.0. I decided to go for it despite not having a lot of luck with the past two collabs, however mine is slowly making it’s way to Canada and won’t be here for over a month. I do hope to have a review up sometime after that. I quite like the decisions made on the surface. Original Dragon was a bit too large for me, around 30L (though sold as 25L which it definitely wasn’t). This one is 26, and reportedly packs smaller than that which is about right for me. I like the streamlined bottle pockets, the U shaped opening should be great and prevents the Unicorn problem where the harness interfered with the top pocket if you adjusted it to ride high. Organization seems right. The stick-it being detachable seems great, and I like how it gives the option of a more technical aesthetic vs a cleaner one. Laptop carry in these is far better than a GORUCK and these external access zippers are also ideal for that. Just seems like a good package and I kinda loved the Blitz 30 just found it a bit too big and tactical. ...
