Mystery Ranch HOTSHOT – NFPA certified
Our Original Fire Pack, Evolved—Plus Hydration.
Over a long season on a Hotshot crew, engine, or helicopter, your fire pack becomes the one thing you can truly call your own. The Mystery Ranch HotShot Wildland Pack! That’s why we redesigned our flagship HOT 3—adding key tailoring touches, features that improve both comfort and function, and improved framing—because every cubic inch of a fire pack is gold to the firefighter wearing it.
The Fire-specific yoke, featuring our patented Futura system, telescopically adjusts to any torso length and promotes ventilation. The full-length adjuster within the Futura system has a mounted aluminum stay, providing more rigidity. The Fire-specific, internal frame consists of a single, vertical, fiberglass rod against an HDPE frame sheet. Together, these create a full-length, stiffened body panel that transfers the weight into the wings of the waist belt. The waist belt system, with patented features and construction methods, cants and conforms over the hips to effectively transfer and distribute the weight eliminating slippage down over the hips.
