What Redditors Say

Best praise vs top criticism for Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 21

Best Praise
+16 pts
“If you carry a laptop regularly, get the 24. If not, go with the 21. I have both and you really only benefit from the 24 when using it's laptop compartment. Also the 24 outside water bottle holders eat space from the inside. So it's not additional space. You place a botte inside and actually its the same than putting it inside the backpack. Also it looks a bit weird to me. The bottle will get pressed inside and not stick out a lot. So if you place something more bulky inside the UA24 you will have problems putting a bottle inside.”

“I’m a fan of Mystery Ranch but the urban assault won’t be great if you’re a student a need a bag for textbooks and binders and stuff. It’s a little too narrrow for carrying those things.”
