Backpacks are an essential part of any outfit. Whatever your needs, we have the appropriate backpack for you. Hunting backpacks allow you to carry a firearm and all essential gear on your outdoor excursions. A Tactical Backpack is designed for longer trips with your gear, and therefore is larger and designed for greater weight limits. Camera and photo backpacks are designed to keep your equipment dry and safe from damage by using soft linings and have pockets positioned for quick access. If you're seeking a more traditional style bag for your laptop and gear, our collection of Vertx backpacks is the perfect place to start as they offer practical designs with CCW compartments on most models, allowing you to conceal carry as discreetly as possible.

Hunting Backpacks
Hunting backpacks are intended for 1-2 day outdoor trips, since even longer hunts are usually done from base camps. Therefore, 20 liter to 50 liter backpacks are preferred. You don't want to be weighed down when out in the backcountry, so a smaller pack will suffice. Still, make sure that it has chest and waist straps to alleviate the weight from your shoulders. Hunting backpacks will most likely come with a myriad of pockets or MOLLE webbing to attach various pouches. A hydration bladder compartment is preferable so you can keep hydrated throughout the day. Enough space needs to be left to carry your quartered animal after field dressing back to base camp. Check out our vast selection of
Mystery Ranch packs to explore versatile options that offer these features and much more to assist you on any backcountry adventure.
Tactical & Military Backpacks
Tactical and Military backpacks and rucksacks are larger, usually in the 60+ liter range, depending on the mission and the situation. Military personnel and tactical operators have a lot of gear they need to carry and it has to all fit into a backpack. Usually fitted with MOLLE/PALS webbing for customization, all have chest and waist straps to alleviate the 80+ pounds that soldiers and operators can find themselves lugging around. Most
military and tactical backpacks come with hydration system compartments or built-in pouches so you can keep hydrated on the go and don't have water splashing around and making noise that could give you away. Tactical and military backpacks are rugged and perfect even for civilian application, like long excursions in the great outdoors or practicing your aim at the range. While you don't necessarily need a fully-tactical pack for target practice, they usually offer helpful features that specifically accommodate the required equipment. Check out our handy tips for
packing your range bag to give you an idea of what features will help out the most when you're looking to sharpen those shooting skills. We offer a wide selection of tactical and military backpacks from some of the best brands in the business including
5.11 Tactical,
Maxpedition and other trusted names in the industry.
Hiking Backpacks
Hiking backpacks are the loosest term due to the nature of various hikes. This pack can be used for both day hikes or expeditions. For day hikes and weekend trips, you can opt for 30-50 liter packs weighing 1.5 lbs - 5 lbs. Once again, these packs should have a chest strap and a waist strap. Hiking through a wooded area or a mountainous terrain requires a lot of energy, and even weight distribution is essential. Hydration bladder compartments allow you to keep hydrated throughout the day. With top-of-the-line options from industry leaders like
Osprey, you can haul all the essentials on the trail with ergonomic designs that properly balance the weight to reduce fatigue and strain, keeping you on the right path.
Photo & Video Backpacks
Photo and video equipment backpacks are a unique niche that give camera men a functional carrying solution for their equipment without having to worry about the safety of their gear. Soft padded compartments and dividers within the photo and video backpacks are quickly accessed through strategically located pockets, allowing the cameraman to get their gear right in the nick of time in order to capture a shot that may present itself at any moment and disappear in an instant. These
camera bags are not intended for long hikes, but are great for day trips in urban areas and the outdoors alike.
