HAVEN'T RATED
EDITORS PICK
Mystery Ranch makes some of the toughest and functional bags out there, so you know the Outsider is going to be good. In fact, it’s better than good. The well-padded shoulder strap makes this messenger a pleasure rather than a pain to carry. There’s also a grab handle for extra portability and the option to compress the load as needed. Your 15-inch laptop is taken care of in the padded tech section, while multiple quick-access and internal pockets prevent a gear free-for-all. There’s even a strap pocket for accessing your phone on the go. This is a solid piece of carry that’s ready to go the distance, no matter how far that might be.
