Overview

Built for hunters and hikers who want a pack that matches the trip, this series covers everything from fast day outings to overnight and multi-day carries.

Across the line, the included rain cover, hydration-ready layout, and trail-focused storage make it practical when conditions change and gear needs to stay accessible.

Lightweight construction supports fast-moving day hikes and longer carries.

Considerations & Trade-offs

The 20L and 25L versions are streamlined for lighter outings, so they may feel limiting if you regularly carry bulkier cold-weather layers, shelter, or extra food.
The 40L model adds more organization and load-carrying features, but it also weighs more than the smaller FOREST packs and is less minimal for fast day hikes.
Hydration-ready features are included, but the pack description does not specify a reservoir, so that piece of gear may need to be sourced separately.
A rain cover is included, but the pack itself is still a backpack rather than a fully weatherproof storage system, so wet conditions may require additional care with sensitive gear.
