Hunters Element Arete Bag 45L Interchangeable Pack System

NOTE: MUST BE COMBINED WITH ARETE MEAT HAULER FRAME SOLD SEPARATELY The 45L Arete Pack body is part of the Arete Pack System. It fits the Arete Meat Hauler Frame, this frame is required for use. The 45L is designed for the heavy day-hunt load or light overnighters. The primary focus for this pack is for those hunters who carry spotting scopes, camera gear, crampons and ice axes, or lots of extra clothing layers. This pack sinches down to a low-profile shape when not packed out so it looks and functions like a smaller day bag when the extra space isn't required. The pack has been shaped to be tall and shallow, so the weight is shared more evenly along the length of your back, and so when scrambling underbrush and branches there is less bulk sticking up to snag and catch. It's been designed for heavy spotting scope and camera use. An internal zippered sleeve on the front allows you to quickly pull out or put away optics attached to a tripod when you are in an area where these are needed every few minutes. When you're moving long distances and don't need access to these as quickly, two large front pockets can accommodate the tripods and optics in a fully covered position. These front pockets cover the front of the pack, and the outside of these is lined with a hard foam, meaning no matter how you are carrying these valuables, there is a grunty protection layer for them when you place your pack down on its front or rub it up against branches and scrub. In addition, two Auto-lock buckles and straps allow you to quickly lock the gear in place. The main body pocket has ® length zips that allow you to access top-to-bottom gear easily without having to fish through everything from the top down. This main compartment includes 3 zippered accessory pockets for gear organisation and storage of a water bladder. There are also an additional 6 accessory pockets in the two front compartments and an upper pocket for fast access to any other necessities. Finally, two water bottle pockets are equipped on the lower sides. If you're into organising all your gear into its own area, this is the dream pack!
