I usually don't like when people write reviews without really using the product but there is hardly any information out there for this pack. So, yeah haven't really used it but I'll answer some questions some might have.First of all, all the Sitka packs I have seen and touched are extremely well made. This one is no exception.
What I do know:
It has the mesh, seperated back panel like the other Sitka packs.
It comes with a rain cover, not attached, designed specifically for the pack.
No gear shelf like the Bivy 45 for use when loaded with meat.
No seperate spotting scope or tripod pockets like some other Sitka packs even though guy at Sitka said it did have that, not a deal breaker for me.
Side zip to main compartment.
Material is QUIET and soft.
Large pack but not HUGE like I thought it might be.
That should cover most of the info I couldn't easily find out about it.
Can't wait to use it, I'll post a follow up review after it takes some Rocky Mountain abuse!
The Update:
Sized just right(for me), enough space for a full day of hunting + an unexpected night out. As mentioned, it's extremely well constructed. I really like the way the pockets are laid out and there are just the right amount. This pack is tough enough to carry elk quarters but you won't fit much else in the bag. Only downside for me, no rifle carry, which I was told it had. To end on a good note, it is amazingly comfortable and the mesh back panel is just awesome. Now in its second season, I LOVE IT!
