Sitka 6200 MH vs EXO

[md126]

Can anyone with experience with both compare the two? Also hear Sitka is coming out with a 4000 MtnHauler which is intriguing. I primarily deer/turkey hunt back east with a solo elk hunt out west every year or two. Thanks

No experience with the mountain hauler but had a bivy 45 that had about the squeakiest frame ever. My opinion would be to stick with a company that does packs and just packs

I really liked the Exo when I tested it out and I'm just now testing a Sitka so I have less experience with it so far.

Both have a solid belt and harness in my opinion, along with stiff frames that transfer the load to your hips like they should.

The Exo has a very good meat shelf if that's something you like to use. The Sitka doesn't. The Sitka is more weatherproof but also a bit louder. The lids are similar to each other. Both pack down well for use as a day pack while easily expanding for larger loads.

Let me know any other specifics you would like compared.

A year ago I would have agreed with you. The Bivy 45 sucked!

The Mountain Hauler is a totally different pack though.

What all did they change about it? One of my big gripes was also the lack of a meat cradle

Take a look. It's nothing like the old Bivy 45.

LOL.

Everybody buy the Sitka 6200. Is that safe to post?

If you have experience with either pack, feel free to post about that. Especially if it can help someone make an educated decision about an expensive purchase.
