Unique pack - Mystery Ranch Load Sling INTL Backpack

This variant (Black, INTL) of the Mystery Ranch NICE frame with Load Sling is unique in both its color and the buckles used. To my knowledge the US made NICE frames and Load Slings weren't available in black. This variant also uses the newer SJ buckles found on Guide Light MT packs and frames. As far as quality goes, this pack feels every bit as well built as the US made NICE stuff. It does not feel lighter duty like the Guide Light MT stuff. In the end I took off a star because the buckles are swapped to the newer style. For some that may be an advantage and for others that may be a disadvantage.
