For All Saddlehunters. Packs are so personal. What works for one hunter, might not work for another hunter. We took over 2 years to design, test, and build the pack WE always wanted. The result is pretty amazing and made 100% right here in the USA.
We wanted to accomplish three main things with the FAS PACK:
1. Make it 100% in the USA out of bombproof & durable materials
2. Make it infinitely modular and user-customizable
3. Make it simple & minimalist but with BIG capabilities
We feel like the FAS pack EXCEEDS all three of our goals. First of all, it's going to last a long time. We chose MILSPEC materials and 100% USA manufacturing in the Midwest to make sure it lasts a long time for all of you saddle hunting maniacs. Second, we put laser-cut MOLLE EVERYWHERE. The laser cut is important because it saves weight for the hunter and gives maximum flexibility. You can add pockets, add straps, or add anything you want. The FAS PACK is a blank canvas to fit your needs. Finally, we made it on the smaller side on purpose. If you take a big giant pack to the the tree...you're going to fill it up with a bunch of crap you don't need.
That's the good stuff. Let's do something no other manufacturer does and talk about the tradeoffs with a pack like this. First of all, because we decided to make it 100% in America, unfortunately that comes with Made In America pricing. This is an expensive pack. That's what happens you hire Americans in Wisconsin to build awesome gear. Another tradeoff is the potential for noise. We went back in forth during prototype and design phases talking about materials. In the end, we chose durable, bombproof materials over lighter, softer, quieter ones. That means this pack isn't going to be as quiet as a soft fleece pack. That's a tradeoff we were willing to make. Finally is the size. Since we wanted this to be a minimalist pack on the smaller side, those of you who live in extreme environments (think MN, WI, Upstate NY) might struggle to make this a truly 4-season pack. When temperatures are way low and you need to pack lots of big, bulky, layers, you might find this pack a little too small for that.
That's everything about the FAS PACK in black and white. This pack it totally awesome. We've been using different versions of the FAS PACK for 3 hunting seasons, and it's definitely the best pack we've ever used.
