Introducing the Arete 45L Backpack: Your Ultimate Companion for Day Hunts and Overnight Adventures

The Arete 45L backpack is meticulously crafted to handle heavy day-hunt loads or light overnight trips. Perfect for hunters who carry spotting scopes, camera gear, crampons, or extra clothing layers, this versatile pack offers unmatched functionality and convenience.

Designed to maintain a low-profile shape when not fully packed, the Arete 45L seamlessly transitions from a spacious gear carrier to a compact day bag. Its tall and shallow shape distributes weight evenly along your back, minimizing bulk and snagging when navigating through dense vegetation.

This pack is engineered for heavy spotting scope and camera use, featuring an internal zippered sleeve for quick access to optics attached to tripods. Two large front pockets provide additional storage for tripods and optics, with a hard foam lining for added protection. Auto-lock buckles and straps ensure your gear stays securely in place during your adventures.

With ¾ length zips, the main compartment allows easy access to top-to-bottom gear without rummaging through everything. Six accessory pockets in the front compartments, along with three zippered accessory pockets in the main compartment, offer unparalleled organization. Plus, two water bottle pockets on the lower sides keep hydration within reach.

Equipped with an integrated rifle scabbard, the Arete 45L accommodates various hunting rifle sizes and barrel widths, ensuring easy access and minimizing sway. Choose between Desolve® Veil camouflage or Stone Green Cordura® fabric options, each designed to suit different hunting environments.

For added versatility, a hidden blaze orange rain cover is tucked away in a pocket at the bottom of the pack, ensuring protection in inclement weather or increased visibility when necessary.

Part of the Arete Pack System, the 45L Arete Pack body requires the interchangeable Arete Pack System Frame for use. With its durable construction, including Duraflex® Hardware and YKK® Zips, this backpack is built to withstand rugged terrain and demanding adventures.
