I'm really impressed with this pack. Doesn't look like it can hold much but it stretches nice and I can pack all my gear plus late season stuff on it. I hunt mobile so it works perfect for me. Love how it has a lot of compartments for storage and how it hangs in the tree and allows easy access to all my stuff. Perfect for the tree, and how extra quiet it is especially with that new buckle system and quiet zippers. Only concern is the bottom on how thin it feels but so far no problems and I've dragged it trough some stuff. My first year hunting and archery and I'm LOVING it!
Purchased after investigating at a retailer. After 2 uses in the field I've noticed that items tend to fall out of the main compartment if not careful removing from your back and setting on the ground. I know this was designed to be extremely quiet (which it is) but it needs a zipper for the main compartment as well as being made with a GoreTex membrane since I'll be using it more than just winter time. The aspects that make this a nice pack dont offset some of the negatives after a spot and stalk in the early season. This is only a treestand pack that needs TLC in fair weather in my opinion
i was a bit skeptical when i bought this pack, i thought it would be to small and the different buckle system was going to be tough to get use to. But i was completely wrong, this pack is flawless. Holds plenty of gear for a all day sit in the heat of the rut, bow holds to the pack perfectly. the silence of the pack is what blew me away, no matter what you access it is nearly completely silent. another amazing product from sitka, do yourself a favor and pick one up!
I recently switched from the Tool Box to the fanatic pack. I never used the belt on the old pack so that’s one thing that I like about the new fanatic pack is there is no belt. This is the perfect pack for Treestand hunters who want absolute silence yet an open concept to keep gear easily accessible. It’s very light and has multiple options to secure my bow and a thermos of hot cider. My only concern as of right now would be the bottom of the pack seemed a bit thin however I’m pretty sure it’s going to be durable. For a tree stand Hunter who does not have a long hike to their stand, this is the perfect pack and I highly recommend it especially if you pair it with the new fanatic system.
As far as a “day pack” is concerned, I’m not sure that Sitka overlooked anything on this bag.
1. Stealth- this bag is like a big, plush, pillow on the outer shell. It does snag some birds along the way, but much less noise generated in the brush as compared to the tool box & bucket. Each clasp/buckle is completely silent by removing clips and external zippers.
2. Design - they even went as far to create an externally accessible pocket for a folding saw! There are a TON of small pockets that are perfect for organizing gear and the two inside “larger pockets” are perfect for separating layers.
3. Size - the bag does not look big but holds a lot more gear than I thought it would at first sight.
It’s awesome to have products developed specifically for elevated hunting. Another piece flawlessly executed by Sitka!

Beyond the Layers - Athlete Jim Hole Jr.
In the deep winter freeze of the Alberta Bowzone, where late November temps can reach -40F, there are two considerations legendary whitetail outfitter and SITKA Athlete Jim Hole, Jr. prioritizes: keeping warm and completely silent to mimic the stealth and patience of an owl perched in a tree.

I have ZERO bad things to say about this pack. Extremely versatile, and has plenty of room and pockets for anything you might need. Having no buckles is a home run in my eyes. Sitka has done it once again, flawless.
Talk about a home run with this pack, and my style of hunting. First and foremost I have been in the field with this pack at least 35 times, and it continues to impress me. The layout of the pack itself allows for either a quick sit hunt, or it also allows you to carry everything necessary for a full day sit. The pocket design/storage solution allows for quick and easy access to the essentials while also allowing you great storage inside to protect expensive items (range finder, binocs, and dslr camera). Another key feature I liked about this pack is the system to hold your bow while doing long hikes in. Now for the goods: This pack is 100% SILENT with ZERO noise, and this is huge. No more clips or zippers to make noise, and the design works flawlessly. If your looking for a pack that has it all look no further.
I was definitely skeptical when I first bought it as I worried the buckle system would be frustrating and the size too small.
I was completely wrong.
The pack holds more than you could ever need, is extremely quiet, and the buckle system works very well. It is also, though packing a serious punch storage wise, small and stealthy as per its tree stand design. VERY happy with it!
I absolutely love this pack. I love it just as much, if not more than the tool bucket pack. The Silent Secure system is awesome. I’m a little worried about the longevity of the silent secure hooks when cinching down and securing my bow but so far so good. This pack is definitely the most silent pack I’ve used and I can also fit my Fanatic jacket in the pack which is an absolute plus. The only thing I wish was different on this pack is the zippers on the inside of the top lid. When I hang it from the top lid the zippers run vertical, so I have to be careful when opening it. I think they should have been horizontal like on the tool bucket. Other than that, this pack is amazing.
