YETI Ranchero Backpack: A New Meaning to Multi-functional
YETI’s new bag, the Ranchero features a functional design for easy access through its lockable 3-way RipZip opening, where you get full access to all your backpacking gear. Inside, you’ll find plenty of spacious compartments and internal organization pockets to keep your personal belongings organized.
The YETI Ranchero 27L features an external laptop pocket, while the 22L laptop backpack has a built-in internal compartment. What’s really neat, is that the Ranchero 22L and the 27L have two smaller pockets towards the top of the travel-friendly backpack for quick access to things like power cords, camera accessories, medical gear, snacks, etc.
On the outside, you’ll find stretchy pockets (water bottle pockets) that fits your YETI drinkware or any other hydration essentials. The top of the pack features a quick-access pocket with a key clip.
Tired of spilt drinks and gear? Or having a dirty pack? With the Ranchero’s GroundControl Base, you can save the cleanup for other things! This base helps keep your EDC backpack upright when set down, so you can avoid spills or that dreadful dirty bag look.
Material
Anyone who spends time in the rugged outdoors needs a pack made from durable materials, lightweight and at the very least water-resistant.
The YETI Ranchero checks all these features off. Made from TuffSkin Nylon, this material is water, abrasion-resistant, and built to last – making it a durable EDC backpack for travel and rugged terrain. Because its made from nylon, cleaning the Ranchero pack is super easy. All you need is a damp cloth – for stubborn stains use mild soap.
Now that we know how durable and practical the Ranchero is, let’s talk about how comfortable it is to carry on all those adventures.
Comfort
Whether you’re exploring the backcountry or sightseeing, the YETI Ranchero is a stylish travel backpack.
The YETI Ranchero 22L weighs 3.2 lbs, whereas the Ranchero 27L comes in at 3.8 pounds. These YETI bags are lightweight, which adds to the comfort factor. It also features extra foam contoured shoulder straps, a sternum strap and compression straps to help keep the pack off your spine allowing you to enjoy your journey.
Thinking of a day pack or a commuter pack?
The Ranchero 22 has a height of 18.5″ x 11″ width and a depth of 9″, which makes for an excellent day pack for hitting the trail, commuting through the city or as a travel carry-on. Sizing for the Ranchero 27L is 20″ h x 11.5″ w x 10″ d, perfect for a weekend getaway.
Both sizes of the YETI Ranchero are close to the standard carry-on size limits for most airlines. The 22L fits comfortably within these limits, while the 27L, though slightly larger in depth by about an inch, should still be suitable for carry-on if you pack carefully. Be sure to check with your airline’s specific carry-on policy, as each carrier may have different guidelines.
YETI Backpack Colours
Both the YETI Ranchero 22L and 27L backpack come in core colours of olive and black. It also comes in a seasonal dark cape taupe colour. I’m thinking that there is a chance this pack will be available in other vibrant colours down the road.
YETI Ranchero Price and Availability
The YETI Ranchero 22L price at YETI Canada is $300 ($225 US). The price of the Ranchero 27L is $350 ($275 US).
The outdoor backpacks are available online on YETI’s website or your local outfitter/retailer.

I always get upset with my wife for buying purses, and then I turn around and buy three book bags for hiking! 😂 Thanks for sharing!
I hear you!! I’m not a purse person, but my hubby needs every backpack he sees. He has a kit for every adventure – seems like its a guy thing!! Thanks for your comment – it made my day!
This looks like the perfect bag for me. I’ve been looking for a sturdy but lightweight bag to be my bug out bag. Thanks dir the recommendation!
You’re quite welcome! The YETI should fulfill those needs easily. I love all the separate compartments and pockets, makes it easier to find the much needed kits. Let me know how YETI works out for you, if you do get it.
Sweet find! Looks ideal for a bug out bag, tough yet light.
I thought so too! It has so many compartments, ideal for keeping the most important kits easily accessible.
I’m always on the lookout for new backpacks, and mine is getting old, so… One of the things I always look for in a backpack is for the main compartment to be fully openable, and this one is, so I’m definitely adding it to my list. Thanks for sharing!
Awe, glad to hear that this post was useful. It does look like the perfect pack that can accommodate various activities, with so many features to make life that much easier! Thanks for reading!
These are all great recommendations! I’ll definitely refer to this article again when it’s about time for some adventures!
Thank you so much!
This was such a helpful review! I love how you broke down its features and real-world usability. The durability and comfort factor sound like a game-changer for outdoor adventures.
Thank you so much!!! Glad you liked the post. I really do appreciate your comment.
I love the 3 way zip for accessing the main compartment without having to dig or take other gear out to get to something in the middle.
That’s my favourite feature too! Nothing worse than digging to get to one little item or fighting to keep the bag from toppling over.
Everyone needs at least one good quality backpack. Also perfect gift idea!
You’re absolutely right!
I’m always up for a new bag recommendation! Looks awesome!
That it does! It looks perfect for every type of adventure.
