ALPS OutdoorZPathfinder Camo Hunting Pack, Expandable Lumbar/Daypack with Waist Belt

I’ve had this for a few seasons now. Is compact enough that I can wear separate backpack for my blind over it (in Fanny pack configuration) Holds all my gear including food and thermos. Used for rifle and archery. With the backpack extended it makes a great camping pack. Zippers are heavy duty. Stitching is reinforced. Very happy with the purchase.

Very nice pack!Pros:1. The main pack is able to accommodate pretty much anything you would need for a days hunt.2. You can fold the main pack up when not needed.- I like to use the fanny pack configuration when I'm predator hunting and moving around more often.3. Very adjustable, even for a bigger guy.- Shoulder straps, waist strap and load adjusting straps4. Quiet material.5. Zippers seem sturdy6. The outside accessory straps are great for carrying extra gear.- I usually strap my heavier jacket shooting stand and blind onto the outside of the bag while I'm walking to save room inside the main bag.Cons:1. Zippers could be a little easier to open and close.- Not really a big con, but just an observation2. The pack sits pretty low on your back, even when the load adjusters are pulled tight.3. If you adjust the shoulder straps tight they dig into you neck.Overall, I would definitely buy this bag again. This is actually my second bag from Alps Outdoors. The other one I passed on to my son after purchasing this bag.

Hey guys and gals this pack is pretty awesome. It has plenty of room for all my Michigan whitetail hunting gear, including extra gear if I’m needing to camp out for the night in 10 degree weather. I can comfortably carry my binos, range finder, water purifier, ammo, knife, extra ammo, ground cloth, heavy fleece, down coat, nalgene, fire starting gear, gps, etc in there and can also pack out quartered meat. This pack has got way more space needed than the day hunter would need, but you can pack away the stowable Backpack part which is nice. I haven’t used the bow or gun sling yet only because I prefer to keep them in hand when walking through the woods, but for hunting out west I could see the use for them for sure. Its super easy to use and has nice quiet zippers. I would highly recommend this pack. The only downside may be that it is warm on the back and shoulders when hiking 15+ miles in the mountains like we do in Michigan’s upper peninsula. That being said it is very comfortable and the weight is very evenly distributed between the hips and padded shoulder straps, a trade off that I’m willing to make. Other packs and waist packs I’ve used in the past are cumbersome and uncomfortable after only a few miles. I like to hike with minimal layers anyway so not a big dea. I will probably be buying the accessory bags also for items that I like to have readily on hand while hiking. All in all excellent bag! Good luck hunting and shoot straight!

Ordered this for my new saddle hunting set up. Hell of a bag!!! Heavy duty, works for any purpose! Great camo! Just all around a really good bag and plenty of space and options! My only concern is that it is bulky/larger than I expected. I am going to try and make it work but my hunting goal this season was to eliminate as much bulk and weight as possible! We will see if I can manage to do that completely with this bag!

Ok, so those of you in the market for a new pack for the backcountry, this is the one. I am an outfitter/guide and have used every pack out there. I've tried every big brand possible , from Eberlestock, Badlands, Horn hunter and Cabela's packs, including the guide model fanny pack. The zippers always failed. There new packs are very poor. Whoever designed them has never been in the woods chasing elk or deer, they probably should be designing something else! This pack has all the right adjustments. One reviewer complained of chafing. I did some adjusting and it feels great. I even put a load in it and it just feels part of you. Take thirty minutes when you get it and adjust to fit. The zippers are smooth on this and yes there is a water bladder compartment, and when the pack is unfolded into the pack from the fanny it says H20 where the hose comes out. The padding is great on the hips as well as the shoulders, again adjustments everywhere. I also got the bino harness with it and the buckles are compatible (One reviewer stated otherwise). The harness is a nice addition. I currently use the Kuiu bino system and this is nice too, but every company has different buckles which is lame, but it is what it is. I use 10x42 swaro's and it is tight fit but still good. If you choose not to use the bino system and have a different preference no biggy, just unclip the ALPS and use whatever you desire. The pack is a complete pack. I still use frames for meat hauling but could easily use this if needed. It literally is 4 packs in one. If you live in the mountains every opportunity you can like I do and you need a quality pack , no doubt this is the one. If there was one negative (minor) it would be the orange ALPZ writing on the back and the orange badges on the harness. A black Sharpie corrected this. Cannot understand why pack company's use red (badlands) or orange, when every other part is camo? For all you turkey hunters out there! No red or orange. Again a little tweaking and this will be your go to pack! This is an all-around pack for you rifle guys to muzzleloaders to archery, a nice little slit for guns or bow and spotting scope stands or photography stands. Now get to ordering and go spend three four days with this in the wilderness, Very water resistant to all the elements mother nature throws your way. I ordered Max 1 camo (wish they had Predator or similar), but it works for the rugged woods of Washington!

Es una mochila - riñonera bastante robusta para salidas de un día máximo, a continuación indico mis comentarios al respecto:Ergonomia:El cinturón es bastante robusto y abraza firmemente la cintura con buen confort al distribuir el peso en la cintura.Es adecuada para personas de mas de 1.70 mts de altura, ya que por debajo de esa altura los tirantes quedan holgados y por tanto la funcionalidad de reparto de carga en la espalda disminuye, haciendo que esta recaiga mas en la parte baja de la columna cuando esta llena la mochila.El ajuste de cierre en el pecho es cómodo y básicamente no percibes que la tienes puesta.Funcionalidad:Cuenta con dos pequeños bolsillos en el cinto ubicados a la derecha y a la izquierda, sin embargo con la mochila puesta es ligeramente complicado abrirlos y estar sacando cosas porque estos están ubicados demasiado atrás, seria mas cómodo que pudieran estar mas al frente.Es una mochila pesada dada su robustez.Cuenta con una buena resistencia a la abrasión.-Modo RiñoneraEn modo riñonera es muy cuestionable el peso (ya que es mucho).El volumen de lo que puedes cargar en esta modalidad es poco, dado que la "sección que se amplia" se dobla y se mete dentro de la riñonera, disminuyendo con ello la disponibilidad de espacio disponible.-Modo MochilaEn modalidad mochila, la carga se reparte de forma uniforme en cintura, hombros y pecho.Tiene buena capacidad de carga, unos 15 Kg considero aceptable dado que no cuenta con ningún marco rígido.La parte que se "amplia" de la mochila, es una bolsa de tela que se fija a la altura de los hombros mediante cintas con sus respectivos broches de cierre, uno en el hombro derecho y otro al izquierdo. A la vista los broches se ven muy débiles dado que son pequeños, por lo que aconsejaría no poner mas de 15 Kg en el bolso superior para evitar que estos se dañen.No cuenta con ninguna cinta o métodos de fijación exterior que te ayude a fijar cosas como tapetes o tiendas de campaña.En resumen, la mochila es aconsejable para:1) Salidas de un día donde piensas llevar únicamente lo indispensable como botiquín, ropa y alimentos en modo mochila..2) Salidas de dos días haciendo vivac (acampada al aire libre) en modo mochila.3) Salidas de cacería donde tienes planeado ir con pocas cosas (en modo riñonera riñonera) y regresar con los frutos de la caza (en modo mochila).Se volvería totalmente inútil pensar en usar este bolso como riñonera únicamente, ya que su peso es bastante dado que al final de cuentas sigues cargando la mochila completa.

Thought I would try some west coast hunting before I review this product, what can I say this pack is the best, more then enough room, if not to much space for a morning hunt, might have to order the little bear as well. The quality of this pack is far better then I expected for such a good price, its quite in the bush, obviously designed by hunters, nothing rattles, materials really quite, everything stayed dry. It has all the adjustabilty you could want or need to custom fit the pack, and after a 10km hike up and down rough mountain bush in west coast rain, I have nothing bad to say about this pack and would buy it again.Because I'm non bias the small list of cons are-Heavy to start but only because of the upper pull out back pack, twice the space = twice the weight-With water bottle in holder on right side of pack I can only comfortably carry my rifle on left shoulder, so water goes elsewhere.

El precio alto queda muy compenzado con la calidad, materiales y diseño de primera, muy funcional lo recomiendo ampliamente, la mochila oculta es del mismo material que la cangurera, muchos compartimientos, entrga rapida.

This is such an easy to use versatile pack....Lots of storage the quality is amazing for the price holds my rifle perfectly I'm so impressed in the product for the price.Its fully adjustable and so comfortable.Only recommendation would be to include elastic straps for the leftover adjuster straps other than that it's great highly recommend

Años de uso comprobados. La mejor compañia para irte a cazar o simplemente de paseo. La versatilidad de la mochila es inigualable.
