Hunters Element Arete Bag

ARETE PACK SYSTEM

The Arete Pack System is designed to meet the demands of hunters who need reliable, versatile packs for everything from light day trips to extended backcountry expeditions. Available in three capacities—25L, 45L, and 75L—each pack is tailored to suit different load requirements while maintaining the same core features that make the Arete series a standout choice.

Key Features Across All Sizes

• Ergonomic Design: The tall, shallow profile evenly distributes weight along your back, reducing strain and minimizing snagging on branches and brush.
• Integrated Rifle Scabbard: Positioned close to the frame to keep weight near your spine, the scabbard accommodates most rifle lengths and barrel widths up to a standard magnum suppressor. The foot of the scabbard tucks away when not in use.
• Optics & Gear Organization: Designed with hunters in mind, the packs offer dedicated compartments and protective pockets for spotting scopes, cameras, and tripods, with quick-access sleeves for areas where frequent use is necessary.
• Water Bladder Compatibility: Each pack features an internal pocket designed to hold a hydration bladder.
• Weather Protection: A hidden blaze orange rain cover is tucked away in a bottom pocket, ready to deploy when conditions change or when high visibility is needed.
• Durable Fabric Options: Choose between Desolve® Veil™ HYDRAFUSE™ StealthSHELL™ fabric for quieter, stealth-focused hunting or Stone Green Cordura® fabric for enhanced durability in rugged environments.
• Premium Hardware & Zippers: Built with Duraflex® hardware and YKK® zippers for long-lasting performance.

25L - Lightweight Day Pack: Perfect for day hunts with light to medium packing needs, the 25L model offers enough space for lunch, water, ammo, and essential layers. It features a large main compartment, an internal water bladder pocket, a mid-sized outer pocket with four internal organizers, and strong webbing bands for external gear attachment. Weighing just 2.49 kg (including the frame), it’s compact enough to pack into a larger bag and use for daily hunting missions.

45L - Heavy Day Pack / Light Overnighter:Ideal for carrying spotting scopes, camera gear, and extra layers, the 45L pack is built for heavier day loads and short overnight trips. The main compartment’s full-length zips provide easy top-to-bottom access, while three zippered accessory pockets keep gear organized. Two large front compartments and side water bottle pockets offer additional storage, and the pack's hard-foam-covered front protects optics and tripods. With a total of 17 pockets and a weight of 2.87 kg, this pack is a gear organizer’s dream.

75L - Multi-Day Backcountry Pack: Designed for extended excursions, the 75L pack provides ample space for all your backcountry essentials, including a tent, sleeping bag, food, and cookware. The extendable top-loading hood allows for capacity adjustments, and an internal zippered sleeve offers quick access to optics. Two large front pockets with hard-foam protection, six accessory pockets, and dual upper pockets on the hood help keep gear organized. Weighing 3.38 kg, this pack is built to handle multi-day loads without sacrificing accessibility.

Compatibility & System Integration

All three packs are part of the Arete Pack System and are designed to fit the interchangeable Arete Pack System Frame (required for use). This modular design allows hunters to switch pack bodies based on their needs while maintaining the same comfortable, supportive frame.
