What reviewers say
Reviewers praise how comfortable it carries and how light it feels for its size. Bowhunting.com's tester singled out the comfort of the frame. GoHunt covered the 2024 redesign, which made it larger and lighter than the previous Metcalf. Reviewers see it as ideal for weekend backpack hunts and long day hunts, and roomy enough to stretch to four or five days.
Good
- Frame built for hauling meat
- Lighter than the previous Metcalf
- Roll-top plus side zip makes packing easy
- Four frame sizes for fit
Not so good
- Expensive
- Out of stock at the maker in Oct 2026
- More pack than a whitetail hunter needs
Who it's for
Elk and mule deer hunters who backpack in for a few days and pack meat out. Treestand and day-only hunters should look at smaller packs.
