Seek Outside Packs

Probably should have bought one with the revolution system then, no need to empty the pack or put meat inside the bag.

I own a handful of packs but not an internal frame one. I wanted to try it out for a couple seasons since the trade off was shaving half a pound off the pack on already the lightest pack out there. I learned it was not for me after shooting and quartering a few animals and dumping everything out to put a quarter in. Then stuffing your crap around the quarter.

Its funny is that SO actually sent me the Goshawk on accident and I had to return it for the Unaweep.

I’ve had the Revolution frame for about 10 years. Nothing is comfortable with 80-100 lbs, but the frame can handle the weight and feels very secure without being overkill for day trips. Waterproof pack material is a very nice feature that I wish more companies would offer. It takes some tinkering with all of the attachment options but it’s nice once you have it set up how you like it.

Yes. I really like mine. The revo frame is genius. If I had one suggestion to SO would be to offer a firmer lumber pad. It’d help when loads get north of heavy as heck.


That said, the belt is genius in my mind. I do think the Kifaru is better but, the SO works. And works well for me.

The last heavy load I had on mine was 86 pounds. 2.7 miles through the mountains. It was a big load that was threatening spill out while using the lead sling on the pack frame. It stayed tight and in place the whole way. Only had to adjust the pack one time.

Here’s my opinion. The frame is absolutely second to none. And, likely my favorite. The belt padding is fine. But, I’d like a stiffer lumbar pad. The bag designs are ugly no doubt. But, well thought out and construction is top notch.
