The kangaroo pouch sold me on this pack. I needed a place to store my rope (I’m a one sticker). The pouch is large enough to hold my rope, knee pads, and a few other essentials. The main pocket holds my puffy, hat, neck gator and body warmers, the next pocket holds my kill kit, back up release and calls.
Then the two smaller pouches holds my lights, back up batteries and pull down dyna glide. The solo stick straps to the bottom nicely. Walked 5 miles the other day scouting and it rode very nicely. The only reason it got 4 stars and not 5 was the clasps seem cheap. Only time will tell!
Great hand warmer, windproof warms your hands up pretty quick.
This is the best pack I’ve tried by far. For years I’ve used the Sitka Tool Bucket and wanted something smaller for early but large enough to hold late season layers in add to being quiet. My biggest issue with tool bucket was sizes and hot in early season. I’ve bought and returned/sold so may packs that have checked some of the boxes but not all of them and went back to the tool bucket. I was hesitant to buy this at first but once I made the decision I used it one time and my mind was made up that this would officially replace the tool bucket moving forward. It’s highly important to me to have a single pack all year to keep my few but core needs in addition to being able to put either my bow or one stick on my pack while going in to keep one hand free and this pack does all of those things! I couldn’t be happier and in my opinion this packet has maximum organization so I know where everything is without question.
Light, compact, quiet, very user friendly, rock solid, no other brand comes close!
