These two features alone were enough to sell me on the Ranchero as a travel backpack, but I found more.
It’s a simple design choice but the one that’s saved me the most hassle from day to day.
This was a pleasant surprise given that many daypacks we’ve tested in the past, like the Cotopaxi Batac and the REI Co-Op Flash, lack any internal support.
Yeti describes the Ranchero as a utility pack, which feels apt considering the sheer range of activities I used it for.
