Hunting pack for big fellas?

[BrandonWatts]

I am trying to find a new pack for myself and it seems like a lot of the manufacture think that everyone in the world is 5-9 to 5-10 and a 165 pounds. Well in reality that's just not true. So I am winding what some for you bigger guys are using for packs? I tired eberlestock, tenzing and badlands today and the only ones that fit right and were adjustable enough were the eberlestock team elk and the dragon fly. I was looking for a day to day and a half pack but nothing fit right. Also didn't want to break the bank on a 300-350 dollar pack that I wasn't sure about. So if you guys got any input it would be helpful thanks Brandon

How big are you? I'm 6'4" and 230. I've got packs that fit.  Adjustability of the pack is key.

There were several good packs on here for sale end of January. I know some did not sell.
I bought a Just One off here. Check classifieds around January.

The non adjustable Eberlestock packs don't fit big guys the way a pack is supposed to fit. A short torso you're good to go though.

I am 6' 4" and found out today that adjustable is the key like mentioned. Leaning toward the eberlestock team elk pack.

I bought the Eberlestock Team Elk pack last year and have absolutely no regrets.  I am 6 foot 250 lbs.  Absolutely love it!!  It has a tone of adjustability and plenty of pockets / compartments / straps / etc. etc. to meat all my needs.  They also have a great warranty.

ive been using a hunter carryall from ll bean, its kind of a modular freighter, I run a small daypack I got from walmart in it.
 It is super comfortable, and quite versatile, it was pretty cheap to, less then 80 bucks shipped I believe, lifetime warranty and everything.

im 6'4 and 380#

Check out Bullpacs he is a sponsor on here.

I bought the wide one at the sportsman show because of your issues being 6'2, I liked the fit because it didn't rub at the point of my shoulders. It's more of a meat pack but he has a backpack bag he sells for it too.

I'm 6-5, 260 and have had trouble finding packs (and boots  ). For several years I have been using Mystery Ranch packs and they have worked awesome, but they are heavy and expensive., Recently tried on a couple of  Kifaru packs that felt good but haven't been able to test them out.

I have been running a wilderness pack for several seasons. I have the bighorn combo. It's been a great pack. A few of my family members and there friends have them as well. Great amount of adjustment in them and they are as tuff as any pack I have used. I have had 100+ on/in mine several times. I have badlands and eberlestock as well and for any amount of hauling the wilderness is much more comfy and made stronger with a lot of adjustment.

My kuiu pack fits really well and held up great with a full load of sheep !

I'm a pretty good sized fella and the badlands sacrifice fit me pretty well
(although some other badlands pack didn't fit me at all?)

Is there any retail place that sales there packs? I was looking at there icon pro 1850 pack. Looks like a nice one. I also like how you back get it in a l-xl belt and a tall frame.

You have to buy the direct from KUIU.
