Danner and Mystery Ranch recently teamed up for their first-ever collaboration. Inspired by the ‘layered colors of Big Sky Country sunsets,’ the gear includes a limited-edition version of Danner’s versatile 2650 trail hiker and an exclusive version of Montana-based Mystery Ranch’s signature 3-zip backpack. Named for the 2,650 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, the Danner x Mystery Ranch Trail 2650 Mesh GTX Twilight packs three-season utility into a lightweight hiking shoe with a breathable mesh upper, waterproof Gore-Tex liner and optional nylon gaiters – sold separately. Underfoot, the Vibram 460 sole has ‘self-adapting’ Megagrip lugs to ensure stability on both wet and dry surfaces. The mid-sized Danner x Mystery Ranch Scree 32 backpack features a 3-zip design that offers ready access to equipment in the main pocket, while essentials are always within reach thanks to a zippered lid pocket and small zip pockets on the removable waist belt. All the pieces are co-branded and trimmed out in the ‘Montana Sunset’ colorway.
