Custom Backpacks

[Split toe]

Anybody know anyone that makes custom backpacks? Would like to have me a range backpack made.

Check out Head on tactical.
the cost for custom bags is a lot higher than something you might find already made or that can be purchased second hand.

You could even find an already made/discounted bag and have it customized, might save you some money.

I had an old MR bag that I had the soft Velcro sewn into the inside so I could use different Velcro panels/organizers on the inside

What's a "Range" backpack?

My curiosity was piqued, so I did some research.
Apparently it’s a backpack that you put range stuff in and wear to/from/at the range.

Oh, thank you. I've got range buckets.

I had mine made by a forum member, and it’s a baller set up.

Anyone who makes frames or similar for other packs out there?

Mind giving them a shout out

I can ask him, but I don’t think he’s sewing right now.

Do you have plan for what you want?

I have a local guy that sews, he might be able to do it

I'm working on a couple custom projects right now, but I might be able to help. Send me a message with what you have in mind.

Editing this for clarification. My offer applies to the OP or anyone else that might want custom sewing done.

I was more so interested in the idea of a custom frame , not sure if anyone's working on that

Understood, send me a PM with your idea.

My account is pretty new here so not able to PM just yet

The idea isn't anything too crazy, just that I got a sweet deal on a Cabela's 70L Hunting pack, "VersaHunt TopLoad 70L" but no frame was included

Cabela's sells just the frame for $100 to 130, I was wondering if it would be doable to bootleg/ macGyver a functional replacement

I might have something that could work, send me a PM when you can. I don't want to derail this thread anymore.

Just curious...Do you have to hike to the range?

I watched this thread because the custom backpacks he made looked great.

Sep 27, 2025

I just finished up this daypack for a friend of mine. The pack was made for an older elk hunter who will not be packing out any meat. He just needed a daypack.

I made this to have an adjustable torso height, removable hipbelt, and easy access. It's roughly 2800 c.i. It has 4 exterior pockets, two internal zippered pockets, and a hydration sleeve. The frame is 21 inches tall, has 1/16" ABS, and one 7075 aluminum stay, and one carbon fiber cross member...
