The Brute 6500 is a hunting pack built for extended backcountry stays and bulky gear. It has 6,500 cubic inches of space, enough for a 4-5 day hunt. Tightening the straps compresses it into a more streamlined day-hunting pack.
The main compartment opens through the integrated roll top or a large front zipper panel. The expandable roll top makes room for extra camping gear or insulating layers. A removable lid attaches to the frame with gate-keeper clips. It has a stretch pocket on top for water bottles or survival kits, and a general-purpose pocket on the front for small items like tools, headlamps, snacks or medical equipment.
A lightweight internal frame provides stability and distributes weight on long climbs and pack outs. An integrated load panel extends as far out as needed. Vertical and horizontal straps with auto-locking buckles hold the load tight to your back and limit weight shift. The Contour Shoulder Harness allows unlimited height adjustment for an exact torso fit, and its air-mesh padding promotes airflow. Elevated load lifters adjust the pack's angle and bring the top of the pack closer to your center of gravity. The Cradle Hip Belt has a silicone print on the lumbar pad to keep the pack and clothing in place. Pull-forward straps tighten the belt on the move, and rear stabilizing straps reduce sway.
