Bag OnlyThree Packs In One — The Climax 5400
Forged for rugged, roomy versatility, the Climax was engineered around the way you actually hunt. Three packing modes (compact, regular, and climax), a strong-but-light carbon fiber frame, and 5400 cubic inches of intelligently-organized space — ready for short stalks, multi-day backcountry trips, or a heavy meat haul.
Carbon Fiber Frame
Lightweight, flexible, and made in the USA. Strong enough to haul more pounds than humanly possible.
500D Cordura Material
Super-strong, lightweight, and machine washable. DWR coating sheds rain and dew instead of soaking in.
3 Packing Modes
Compact, Regular, and Climax mode. An internal foldout extends height and capacity for big multi-day loads.
4 Hydration Spots
Bladder pockets in both side panels, in the lid, AND a sealed waterproof pocket behind the frame.
Top + Front Loading
Openings on both top and front for fast access to deep gear without unpacking the whole bag.
Removable Lid Pack
Detach the lid in seconds. Use it as a stalking daypack or carry a hydration bladder.
YKK Water-Resistant Zippers
Premium YKK zippers built to keep dust and moisture out of your gear.
Adjustable Shoulder Straps
Cushioned straps adjust in 4 directions to dial the pack to your torso for chafe-free movement.

I want to start off stating that I don’t have much experience with other packs. That being said I have been using my pack (frame and meat shelf) since last winter for training. The pack seemed to fit well and had all of the adjustability needed to get comfortable. It didn’t have any wear spots that were an irritation when wearing it loaded with a 50lb. bag of salt. It went on my first hunt recently and carried this pack daily for all 8 days of the hunt. I found that towards the end of the hunt, if I didn’t have everything adjusted just right the shoulder straps would squeak slightly and adjustments would have to be made. It wasn’t loud but irritating to listen too. Overall, I like the pack and probably chalk up most issues I have to my lack of experience. I am a very organized person and I thoroughly like all of the flexibility this pack provides allowing a person to organize their stuff however they want! The caveat to that is, I also like simple and this pack has straps EVERYWHERE! In my opinion, there are far too many and it makes things confusing!! I suppose a few could be removed but then some of the flexibility might be sacrificed. It just seems that there can be a more efficient way to accomplish the same great features with less straps. The pack seems to be well put together with quality materials, especially for the price. Losing some of the “extra” straps would save some weight which never hurts. I would recommend to someone looking in this price range.

So, you’re reading pack reviews…you can stop, this is the one. I bought the climax 5400 in the perception camo (highly recommend, it looks cool) to replace my old 75L pack as it had finally thrown in the towel (after thousands of miles of hiking and numerous back country excursions). I was worried the pack wouldn’t be big enough…wrong! I carried all the communal gear as well as my own with space to spare. I was worried it wouldn’t be strong enough…wrong! Despite the light weight, this pack handled 70+ lbs of back country comfort through 50+ miles of mostly off trail hiking. I was worried it wouldn’t fit right…wrong! After you spend some time discovering all the options and combinations you can fit your pack like they built it on your body.
Ok so bla bla bla…what didn’t I like…
My only “complaints”, if you want to call them that are 1: the excessive adjustability is almost overwhelming. If you find a rigging you like, take a pic because you will forget how you did it and endlessly search for the perfect setup you once had.
2: I am a thin dude, 1 more inch of take-up on the lap belt would have been nice.
Long story long I’d buy another one in a heartbeat.
Also AKEK, if you’re reading this, you should have a spot to upload pics so I can show everyone how sweet your gear looks
