YETI Ranchero 22L Backpack in Cape Dark Taupe: Built by YETI, Engineered with Mystery Ranch DNA

When YETI acquired Mystery Ranch, one of the most respected names in backpack design, it signaled a major evolution in YETI’s soft goods lineup. The YETI Ranchero 22L Backpack in Cape Dark Taupe is a perfect example of this collaboration—combining YETI’s legendary toughness with Mystery Ranch’s load-bearing expertise and ergonomic design philosophy.

This pack isn’t just another everyday backpack. It’s a purpose-built, go-anywhere bag designed for workdays, travel days, and outdoor adventures alike.

The YETI + Mystery Ranch Connection

Mystery Ranch has long been known for building some of the most durable, comfortable, and technically sound backpacks in the world—trusted by military, wildfire crews, and backcountry professionals.

The Ranchero series reflects that influence immediately. From its structured carry to its thoughtful pocket layout and reinforced construction, this backpack clearly carries Mystery Ranch’s DNA—now refined through YETI’s rugged materials and clean, modern aesthetic.
