Vote for who has the best pack in 2023.

[PrairiePimp]

Hey guys, I haven't seen any polls voting on what the best packs out there are from the most recent times. Feel free to vote with what you think is the best, based off of real world experience, and feel free to leave comments with why you choose the pack that you have!

I’ve always been a fan of Mystery Ranch, and still have an old Dana Designs Terraplane but I’ve heard such good things about the Exo packs. I’ll have to check them out, does anyone know where to see one in person?

What about Forloh. These others would be blown off the mtn.

 

[MT_Wyatt]

Hard to vote on such a wide group of packs without field experience using them all. “Best” is also a bit dependent on use.

I did not know they make a pack. Have never heard of anyone ever talk about them or see anything on them before.

Seek Outside is generally considered in the top 4, especially considering some of the others listed.

 

[TheGDog]

No choice for Outdoorsman's pack?

Well that’s about the order I’d put them in. Didn’t even have to vote. Didn’t have to get past Kifaru

 

[Olson]

I used a HPG Decker w/ Medium pack bag and Connor pocket. Excellent set up! That would be my write in vote

I wonder when SG is going to come out with new frame, its been quite awhile since we've seen something from them frame wise.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Barney’s packs fall in to that category too.

Might have to make this my ‘24 pack. Sits more comfortably than half the packs on this poll haha!

 

[Bruce Culberson]

From that list I've only worn Kuiu 7800 and Mystery Ranch Marshall guide LT. Of the 2, MR was more comfortable for me.
I also have the Seek Outside Revolution 6300 which is my favorite for packing moose/elk quarters.

 

[mtwarden]

I think Seek should also be on the list; I used their Goshawk 6300 on a 10 day backpack hunt in the Brooks Range- very capable pack.

Agreed. The Mystery Ranch Beartooth is a comfortable pack, but it’s the only one I’ve hunted with. I would be interested to hear someone else’s experience if they’ve used that pack vs something like a Stone Glacier. Then you add in hunt styles plus personal gear preferences, and it’s really tough to compare apples to apples here

 

[mtwarden]

I've used Kifaru, Stone Glacier and Seek Outside- I personally wouldn't hesitate to use each of them. There's always going to be preferences for the way a bag is laid out, fabrics, available frame lengths, etc, etc.

I also think certain packs are going to fit better and provide more comfort differently with different folks; no difference than boots— if you have a good fitting and comfortable boot you're golden, ditto on a pack.
