I do a lot of mountain hunting with heavy duty frame packs. However once I find myself in a treestand, those packs loose their usefulness for the most part. I don’t have the long packouts with elevation changes that require hydration bladder or a load shelf and titanium frame. Also the configuration of a top loading frame pack just don’t work when manipulating straps and draw cords twenty feet above the ground. Enter this backpack. It is big enough and comfortable enough to carry all you need for your sit. You can strap outer layers like the incinerator to it if necessary. It’s profile easily hangs without creating unecessary attention and it’s configurstion allows you to access what you need safely and efficiently.

Really am awesome pack! I've never been a back pack guy but this pack's layout is like nothing I have tried before! It is also very comfortable to carry and seems to sit higher on my back, which I like! The only thing I would suggest is Sitka to show it carrying a bow strapped on the pack. I debated spending this much on a pack that "didn't" carry a bow but when I bought I strapped my bow no problem! A sling would probably have to be added for a crossbow or rifle but a compound is no problem with the cross straps.

Nice except for zippers; do not open easy at all

NO PROVISION FOR A "CAMELBACK" OR SIMILAR HYDRATION POUCH. A HUGE DETRACTOR FROM AN OTHERWISE PERFECT BACKPACK.

By far the best pack I've had for Whitetail/Still hunting! Shocked at how easy it is to have everything and then some with out the clutter. A knock out of the park in my humble opinion.

Hands down the best whitetail pack I have ever owned. The engineering for this pack was spot on. I can throw everything I need then some into this pack. Fully loaded up this pack is comfortable on the back for those long walks. I might even take this out west on my elk hunt next fall. If you don't own one you are missing out.

Love the quality and the thought that went into this backpack. My favorite pack by far. The number of pockets and room is great. Along with that the customer service of these guys is unreal as well. Had an issue with the order they upgraded my shipping and overnighted it. Got it in time for my trip. Customer for life.

Awesome Pack. Sitka delivers a great product again. I love how I can see into my bag without digging down from the top like most bags. Everything is right in front of you. I love the handle on the inside for hanging the bag while it's open and I absolutely love the clips on the bottom. I use them to carry my jacket. The one MAJOR improvement that would make me pay BIG bucks more for would be to designate one zippered pocket with maybe a rubber liner of some sort for deer scents. For me and the guys at Team Wisco, a constant problem we have annually is trying to keep from getting any drop of the deer urines that we use onto the bag anywhere because it will RUIN the bag permanently. We put them in zippered bags, however they always seem to get on our hands still and eventually on the bag, ruining it. So, could you potentially add a pocket that is fortified with heavy pastic or rubber liner that can be washed that is designated for scents? Keep up the good work guys James

Verry nice. On my back all the time. LOVE it

Great product like always from Sitka. It's even bigger than I thought it was and the top zipper keeps everything totally enclosed.

Great pack very versatile with all of the different pockets. A must have for a guy that carries a pack in the deer woods.
