I've put this bag through the heat for nearly two years and I love it!
First off this pack looks sick and functions great. I do a lot of self filming so I needed a bigger pack to carry a tripod, on top of a chair that I sit on. The straps hold everything very tight so I am quiet and efficient in the woods.
I even hauled a buck head on top of half the meat with this pack! Highly recommend
Going into hunting season last fall, I was hunting with a cheap setup where I could just get out into the woods. I upgraded later on in the season to the Specter Venatic saddle and it was well worth the money. You could easily tell the difference in comfort, durability, and overall performance. I would 100% pay the money for the saddle again.
