Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the OVERLOAD feature different from other expandable packs?

The OVERLOAD system uses a load sling between the pack body and frame, positioning heavy weight closest to your back for better load distribution. Quick attach frame cap hardware makes conversion easy when you need the extra capacity for packouts.

How does the 3-ZIP design improve access to gear?

The three-zipper configuration opens the pack completely, giving you full access to all compartments without having to dig through layers of gear. You can reach everything quickly, even items packed at the bottom.

What accessories can I attach to this pack?

The pack includes daisy chain attachment points and is compatible with Quick Attach Accessory Straps for carrying bows or rifles. Side pockets accommodate water bottles, rifles, or tripods depending on your mission needs.

How many pockets does the Pintler have for organization?

The pack features six internal pockets total: two dump pockets and four zip pockets for organized gear storage. There's also a zippered lid pocket for quick-access items and side pockets for water bottles or long items.

What type of hunts is this pack designed for?

The Pintler works best for overnight hunts and multi-day backcountry missions where you need serious load capacity but want to keep pack weight reasonable. The OVERLOAD feature makes it especially good for hunts where you might need to pack out heavy loads.
