Best Hunting Day Pack in 2023

ALPS OutdoorZ Traverse EPS

The Alps Traverse EPS day pack is pretty awesome as far as hunting backpacks go. It’s a great size thanks to its unique H-frame design with enough room for all your gear and handy pockets around as well as a clip-style holster.

The drop-down and front zippered wing pockets are the perfect places to secure your chosen weapon on any things else you need to get quick access to. There is also a padded scope pocket with a tripod sleeve, these guys have clearly thought of everything.

The padding is adequate all over the bag and it’s very comfortable to wear. There are some comments that there could be some more padding in the shoulders but that is most likely down to personal preferences. The straps are easy to adjust and find the right fit with too not matter if you’re short or tall.

The hunting backpack comes with a built-in bright orange rain cover, perfect for those rainy days and for being seen by other hinters when visibility isn’t so clear. There’s also an H20 pocket for a camel pack so you can hydrate without having to open your bag the whole time or carry a water bottle.

SOG Ninja Tactical Day Pack

​This is a great hunting day pack from SOG and it really does have a little ninja inside it, there is a pocket for everything to hide in, even a soft-lined pocket for glasses or sunglasses but it doesn’t stop there.

The pack features a large main compartment, front accessory pocket, hydration pocket with tubing port, and a small pocket for storing flat things. See, there’s a ninja pocketing system in this day pack.

One of the best things about this pack is the size, it’s not too big or small, and has MOLLE webbing all over it so you can easily add more and more things to hang off it as you need.

The pack is made from 100% Polyester, is water-resistant, and is super comfortable to wear thanks to the adjustable padded shoulder straps, waist straps, and side compression straps.

Overall this is a great pack at a good price, the only complaints would be that there is nowhere to holster your weapon and that the color/size advertised seem a bit different from what arrives in the post.
