Has anyone used one or heard how this pack performs? Looking at a new pack that will hold enough for a multi day hunt.
I believe one of our members had a 45 blow out a shoulder strap on it first heavy pack out in 2011 or 2012. if you have the extra cash I would look American made MR SG, Kifaru etc. :twocents:

I have that pack and love it. I am self admittedly ocd when it comes to organization and this pack works great for me. I also have put over 100 pounds of weight in it for a moose hunt two years ago and it didn't even blink an eye. It was very comfortable and felt like I was carrying much less. I used to have an eberlystock j34 and with a pack loaded with 100+ pounds, it felt like 150. Plus my ocd killed me because there was so few pockets. Hope this helps. Another plus with the sitka is their customer service. I have broken two buckles because it took a fall down a hill and landed on a rock, I was more beat up than the pack. Sitka replaced the buckles no questions asked and was very quick to take care of it.
This helps a lot. Thanks!

Seems to me you're paying too much for the propriety camo patterns and not for a quality pack when it comes to the Sitka line. :dunno:
Would getting it 50% off make it more appealing? $225?

There is a Flash 32 pack marked down to $200 on Rokslide. I bought most of the Sitka gear he listed and he is great to deal with. Everything was in great condition and shipping was very fast. Had such a great transaction and great price that I decided to buy another Sitka item he had listed. I don't have any experience with the pack, but thought I would give you feedback on the seller.

it would make it approximately 50% more appealing.

50% of 0 = ...
Look, I've been in your shoes. You don't want to justify spending the money on a pack. But that Sitka is trash.
If money is the issue, buy a KUIU ultra, or find a used Bora 80/90 (150$?).
But buying gear for the backcountry based on what's on sale is a mistake IMO.
