I have a nephew who's 14 and very small for his age (maybe 5' tall) but he's an outdoors fanatic. I'd like to get him a pack that's comfortable hauling meat that he can use until he grows into an adult size pack. I've seen the Exo and Western Edge youth models but wanted to see if there are any other options out there that I may be overlooking. Also, if you have any experience with the two that i mentioned above, I'd love to hear feedback on those as well.

Any frame sheet pack like Kuiu venture would work for no more weight than they would be able to carry. Hip belt should fit his hips pretty good.

Another more robust option might be the mystery ranch pop 30 or 40 in small or XS.

Hit me with a PM, email, or call if you have any questions about Western Edge packs.

We purchased a Western Edge about a month ago. Unfortunately it was after we finished hunting for this season. Quality is awesome and the owner was extremely responsive to questions I had prior to purchase. I bought it for my 10 year old for exactly what you are doing. Something that can grow with him through his teenage years. I'm very happy with the purchase so far.

Kuiu women’s and kids frame. I don’t think you could go wrong.
