Customer Reviews
Where to start? Well I originally purchased an EVLV from Darwin's previous collaboration with another pack maker and I thought I had found the end all of simple packs. Turns out I was wrong the Evolved Supply Co Ranger is just plain simplistic awesome. I bought this for my teenage son and the features of this pack have impressed me immensely. The Padded shoulder straps are first rate (super cushion/comfort). He runs a very low base weight and even with several days of food and longer water carries it was super comfortable for him. The y-strap option and cinch strap is great, both light weight and sturdy. The shock cord does what its supposed to do and the hip belt attachments are just great for giving him that little extra support. Definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a simple appropriately sized pack to keep your weight in check. When my current pack goes, I'll be picking up a ranger for myself.
Ordered on a Thursday night and it shipped Friday and I received my pack on Monday. I was looking at packs for weeks and the ranger was the lightest pack I could find that was Made In the USA! I live the old timey styling with the Y strap and the large outside pocket really helps keep stuff organized. Great pack and great company.
The bag works very well and I can fit everything I need + I have extra space
Purchasing experience was excellent with Evolved Supply Co., they answered all questions I had and even followed up over the weekend. I had a flight Thursday, Ajay was able to coordinate getting the order expedited with USPS so I could receive it prior to travel. (The USPS failed as usual and took 4 days to get it delivered causing a flight cancellation and rebooking, but no fault whatsoever on the side on evolved supply co). The pack arrived and was honestly better than expected, I’ve never used a frameless pack before but I absolutely love the design and comfort and was able to test it on a 100mile shakedown; definitely my favorite pack now, it will be getting a lot of use this summer. Fantastic company, A+++ experience and I’ll definitely be doing more business with them in the future. My only critique would be to offer more shipping options with UPS or FedEx; the USPS is unreliable at best and cannot be counted on to get anything anywhere on time, especially if you have a strict timeline.
This is my second Ranger pack. I used the original one to hike over 1,200 miles on PCT in WA and on AZT. The version of the pack included the Y-strap, two shoulder straps pockets and 1.5” hip belt from Waymark. My base weight was 10 lbs with maximum loads being between 22-26 lbs. The pack’s perfomance is compared to the following frameless packs: EVLV38, CDT, Zerk 40, Cutaway 40, and Kumo 36. The Ranger’s design is outstanding, especially use of load lifters. In addition, the materials used are excellent. The pack is highly water resistant. The side and bottom pockets are easily reached while walking. After more than 1,200 miles there are no signs of ware on the pack. For maximum loads of up to 25 lbs the pack carries beautifully. For me this is the best frameless pack on the market today.
