Sling Choke Reviews

Sling Choke

I purchased this bag because a couple of my friends have them. For our style of hunts, that include lots of walking, It's nice to have a comfortable pack that has the function of of a blind bag but accessibility and mobility of a run-and-gun day pack. After one season, all zippers buckles, etc are still in perfect shape as anyone would hope for. My friends' bags after a few seasons are still in great shape as well!

Perfect Every Hunt Pack

Needed something to replace my heavy and cumbersome blind bag. This holds as much as my blind bag just more efficiently. Added bonus with the attached lanyard. Recommend to all duck hunters that make a trek into their hole.

Awesome

My grandson says best ever. Perfect size and weight. An elevated bag

Awesome blind pack

It fits everything you need and nothing you don’t and a great design.

Bag

Perfect bag for easy packing

more than meets the eyes

Really enjoying this bag and it is getting used as more than just a blind bag. hunt days its running to the blind with me and during the week its heading to the office. perfect on both your back and slung across the chest. my only wish was it had a way to wrap up the excess straps when its cinched down.

Perfect size for that long

Perfect size for that long walk-in

This is the best bag

This is the best bag I've owned. Love the quality of the bag, and the simplicity. I purchased it to travel lite into the woods whether I'm using it for bow hunting or in the timber waterfowling. Perfect bag for all applications. Thanks again Sitka, your products rule !!

Great Bag!

Strap system works great. Slips from back to front easily and easy access to pockets.

perfect, great space and compact

perfect, great space and compact

Awesome!

I duck hunt about three days a week during the hunting season and like to travel lite. I can fit neck gader, Callers Glove, 50rds of shells, my Delta Deek GTX gloves, jerk string, hat, beenie, bottle of water, hand-warmers, and headlamp inside without having the zippers being stretched. I’ve hunted in heavy snow and rain and have not noticed anything inside the sling choke wet. I’m a slimmer build and will probably end up shortening the straps but highly recommend this to anyone.

Nice pack

This is a nice waterproof pack that is great in the field.

Best pack ever

This pack is the perfect size and very comfortable when having to haul a gun, use both hands and hike across the marsh

Pack

This pack is small enough to carry anywhere but big enough to fit what needs to go into the duck blind.

Thought it was a nice

Thought it was a nice bag but was small for my blind necessities.

Quality

This review was part of a promotion. I bought the bag as a gift, so I can’t speak to use or experience with it, but the materials and build seem high quality. The fabric pattern is great.

Love it wish y’all had

Love it wish y’all had the timber pack

Good bag and fits all

Good bag and fits all the essentials. Water resistant for those wet days. Only downfall is the price but if you can catch it on sale we'll worth it

Awesome jacket

It’s great for hunting in

It’s great for hunting in water. You don’t have to take the pack off you just slide it around which is quick and clean.

It’s quality made just not very handy

It is well made and if you don’t carry much you should be fine. It just doesn’t fit my needs. I thought it would be handier than a normal blind bag being able to flip it around to the front but that feature is what makes this bag a 1 star for me. I really wish I would have just got a regular blind bag or a actual backpack Pros - well made Cons - kinda small Almost has to be carried cross body. Has a waist belt that needs to be used or you choke yourself and if you don’t use it, it gets in the way

Great bag

Great bag

Great minimal pack

I took the Sling choke hunting on a SC draw hunt at Murphy Island. This pack is excellent for mobile hunting in marshes. It's hard to find anywhere to sit a regular blind bag down when everything is flooded. The sling choke gave me the same benefits a standard blind bag in a more mobile package. I was able to hunt with my kit on me. It also gave me the ability to haul my ducks hands free. The only negative to this pack is that its not water prof but it stayed high and dry on my back. A dry bag version of this would be a great Idea for hunters wading in deeper marshes or hunting in rainy weather.

Great Bag

Great bag with PLENTY of space. Repels water great but is not waterproof. Definitely will buy again

Five stars

Holds everything I need for a day on the water and in the fields, and the built in game straps are a life saver more than happy with this bag

Love this bag great if

Love this bag great if you just carry a couple things with you like I do!

Sling Choke

Awesome bag for hunts when you can pack light, or if you’re carrying decoys wearing it on the front is really convenient

Sling Choke…Great bag!!!

The bag has a very slim profile, which limits what you can pack in it, but that is perfect for me. I usually walk in a good way and try to keep the load to a minimum. Great features that are really thought through. I love how you can sling it to the front of your body and access everything easily without ever having to take the pack off.

Best little hunting pack Ever

I have found the wholly grail of day packs.

Great pack, can front carry

Great pack, can front carry while backpacking a decoy bag. Could use strap tenders for the sling.

Sling Choke

I would consider this a minimalist bag. It's a bit small for waterfowl hunters. If the same bag could expand just a bit, it would make a big difference.

Just what I needed.

The whole thing was just

The whole thing was just way too small

Cool pack

Great pack for small trips a lil difficult to figure out which way to carry I’m trying pack on left gun on right

Sling Choke is my absolute

Sling Choke is my absolute favorite hunting bag.

Very Pleased

Bought this bag as a lightweight counterpart to a full choke pack. Primarily use this for dove hunting and teal season when I don't need to pack as much. Absolutely love it and the storage layout. Perfect for early season as well.

Too small, not waterproof

This bag is fine if you want to carry 1 box of shells and maybe a hat and pair of gloves. You aren’t fitting anything more than that in here. Way too small. The one time I used it it sprinkled and my one box of shells got soaked because it’s not water resistant at all. It’s actually more like a sponge. I’d recommend any other bag besides this one. Only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because it is well made like all of sitkas stuff. This one just misses the mark as a good waterfowl bag.

This bag is great for

This bag is great for frequent hunters. The sling concept is great, but the straps are a little too long. I did figure out a way you could tuck them into a slit in the buckle so it didn’t bother me anymore. The pockets are sized great for any essential items you may store in it. Lastly, the material is just what you’d expect from Sitka. Great product.

This product is most definitely

This product is most definitely sub-par for what is expected of Sitka Gear products. On the one hand (positive), the quality of materials and workmanship is superb. On the other hand, however (not so great), the design is unfortunately seriously flawed. The flaws I'm about to describe are perhaps unimportant for for individuals well over six feet tall and close to 300 pounds or so. For me, at 5' 7' and about 140 pounds (hello, folks!), it is the three-way connection point in the front of the pack that quite seriously fails the test: the upper/shoulder-to-horizontal-crossover intersection angles are totally out of whack for such sizes! The result is that the horizontal cross-over piece pulls into my body quite seriously and digs into my abdomen just below the sternum. In cold weather when I'm wearing several layers of clothes, this is not much of a problem; however, during these warmer days of spring and beginnings of summer, this is becoming a significant issue. My bottom line is that I rate this product as mediocre at best. It will probably work well enough for larger folks, especially in cooler weather; however, beyond that, caveat emptor! If the Sitka folks are interested, I am available for professional consultation regarding ways to improve this product.

Great sling, I've been using

Great sling, I've been using it constantly for three years! A large number of pockets allows you to store everything you need and even leave room for a couple of sandwiches. I have a few wishes: - I would like the material of the sling and the zippers to be waterproof. - We need to add the Earth color, because there are waders of this color, I also would like the color of the lead. - Very long straps, you need to figure out how to attach them so that they do not hang out and interfere. For example Velcro or elastic bands.

Amazing back pack. This holds

Amazing back pack. This holds the perfect amount of gear.

Perfect sling design. I want

Perfect sling design. I want to go in light to my timber holes and the essentials fit great. I take it on every hunt.

Great small bag that has

Great small bag that has a lot of room for hunting essentials. Did keep my stuff dry during a light rain hunt. You can easily sling the pack around you to get gear out or put inside of it. Only con for me is the waist strap but I just tuck it in the hidden pocket on the back. Great bag and I would highly recommend for any hunter!

Has everything you need for

Has everything you need for jumping ducks. I walk miles of river with this pack and I forget I have it on. It has a built in lanyard for my ducks as well to keep my hands free. When I’m not jumping ducks it’s got handles so I can use it like a blind bag. Great Product !

Bag has been great. Holds

Bag has been great. Holds all of my essential gear and is easy to transport. I mostly hunt dry fields, if I hunted more water I would want a waterproof bag. Zipper did break after 3 season (I hunt about 60 days a season in multiple states) Sitka replaced bag without question

Got for my wife. Perfect

Got for my wife. Perfect size for her and she loves the strap for carrying to the blind.

I love Sitka and have

I love Sitka and have many products. This bag is great, but I have 2 complaints. 1. The stitch angle of the waist to shoulder strap (female attachment on waist portion) is made for a super wide human, which causes all stress to be put on a single sti tch, causes it to pull up. 2. A lot of leftover straps, just hanging there, which isnt too terrible bc I can cut those and get them sewed over. I can get used to those 2 things, I use it for fly fishing, but will try it out this season in Missouri in the blind.

Is not waterproof. Is a

Is not waterproof. Is a very downgrade... Is obvious that most of the duck hunter are in the waters while hunting. So, why is so dificult to do something waterproof? Beside that, the product is almost perfect.
