For the committed backcountry hunter willing to work harder and go further to enhance their experience, the Mountain Hauler opens a world of opportunity for extreme and extended mountain pursuits. The primary bag expands from 4,000 to 5,000 cubic inches to easily place an elk quarter on the load-hauling shelf, and gear can be separated and stowed internally below the load shelf in the Mountain Hauler Dry Bag.
All load-bearing components are directly secured to the frame for an extremely efficient transfer of energy and 3-layer multi-density hydrophobic foam pads in the hip and shoulders provide cushioning that won’t chafe under a full pack. Components used during a successful harvest are SITKA orange, providing intuitive functionality to assist hunters who may be experiencing fatigue or stress while packing out an animal. Adjustable suspension and medium or large options in both the hip belt and shoulder yoke enable simple custom fitting. Weighing in at a mere 6.4 pounds but rated to comfortably carry 150 pounds, the new Mountain Hauler is capable of conquering the most ambitious backcountry hunts.

Overall, I like this pack. It has definite pros and cons that should be taken into consideration, though.

Honestly this thing is pretty great, but I’m knocking off 2 stars because of the flimsy cheap plastic belt clips which broke on the first use. This would have easily been a 5 star product if it weren’t for that.

This pack is amazing for the price. Great features. My only complaint so far is the zippers on the pockets which are attached to the waist belt zip the wrong way for me. Not a deal killer at all. My son and I both love our packs and have the same ones.
