Sounds good! I’m in north Idaho. Thick timbered slopes, clear cuts, rain, wind, snow, freezing temps in the morning that can swing to 50s by the afternoon. Results in the potential for multiple insulating layers, wind jacket, and rain jacket on top of the other gear. I was looking for a bag with volume enough to stuff some bulkier layers, but not really any serious weight. I really like this pack. It compresses really well, so when it’s a warmer/drier hunt, I can cut the extra space down. I like the idea of the divide pocket, but I didn’t want my scope turrets to get rubbed out of zero, and when you’ve got the pack stuffed, it’s tough to get a rifle in and out easily. If you were running a tripod in there, it would likely work a little better. I mostly used it to store my sitting layers like a vest, rain or wind jacket, or fleece sweater to access and throw on without having to open the bag or compressions straps every time I layered up or down. Great stuff pocket. One think I don’t particularly like is accessing the main bag. It’s a cinch top design, so you access from the top. The side access zippers for the main bag are nice for easily grabbing a puffy or water bottle tucked on one side or another, but otherwise you’re digging in a dark bag. They have some zippered pockets on the inside panel, but because it’s hard to access, they’re kinda waste. The outer front zip has the same organizing pockets that are handy and I used those quite a bit. I packed out a fork horn whitetail, all the quarters, loose meat and head about 2.5 miles, and wouldn’t really recommend this pack for that job. Doesn’t have the load lifters, belt or frame to handle any serious weight. I did start to lose one of the shoulder straps stitching after that, which again, not designed to do that task, but still seemed kinda lame to see that kind of failure after one heavy load. Again, not really designed for it. Currently in the warranty process, which has been easy so far. If you want a solid day pack for scouting, turkey hunting or day hunting without the need to carry serious weight, I’d absolutely recommend, especially for the $250 price tag. For less I’d jump at it.
