Good comparison. You are spot on with the bottle pockets on the catalyst. The catalyst could have been much better with some elastic on the water bottle pockets
I’d like to see a review of the mystery ranch 2 day edc. It’s an REI exclusive but looks kind of like what these catalyst bags should have been (minus the molle). Stretch bottle pockets and dual brain pocket. Nobody has a video on it yet. Great comparison by the way
Actually have the Catalyst 26, kinda correct on the water bottle pockets unless you're bringing a 32oz/48oz Nalgene, I also use for things I need immediately like an umbrella. The Catalysts are pretty underrated but nothing too special, really
I think they’re well priced, have solid material and look good! I just wish a little extra effort was applied to the bottle pockets, especially if you’ve had a bag like the Coulee where those are a highlight.

100%. Lack of security there is a big miss in my opinion.
For a $200 ish pack it definitely needs to be better mystery ranch packs are cringe

Very insightful! Thank you!🎉
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
@@ECsEDC welcome
Water bottle pocket is the downfall of this otherwise nice design. I’d buy a v2 if it address those pockets.
I agree. Those were not very thoughtful. Hopefully they looking improve that in the next version.
The pack is floppy
Mystery ranch zippers are silly
The trizip isn’t for everyone!
@@ECsEDC definitely definitely not its to floppy
