New lumbar pack from Kifaru, the Hellcat.

Hellcat Lumbar Pack (1,520 ci / 25 Liter total) – Kifaru Intl. Online Store

Has anyone had hands-on with this yet? Looks interesting, like a slicked up scout with a HPG-esque harness. I love lumbar bags and wish they'd do another run of the TG1.

I'm really considering one of these for deer/turkey. Looks perfect for easy access while hanging in a tree.

Is this not it: Tailgunner I (900ci / 14.75 liters – Kifaru Intl. Online Store ?

That is what is left over from a special run. Really don't want MC or Highlander.

Me too. I had one of Kifaru original lumbar packs. I loved it. Not even sure where it went

I'm gonna have to have one of these. Great for deer hunting when you don't need a pack frame

I'm thinking I need one of these for small game and scouting/camera trips.

Looks more comfortable and practical than my old Late Season.

I have a big, ancient Dana Design lumbar pack, pretty sure it's the Jefferson. It's great for day hunts - especially when it's hot. However, when it gets to a certain weight the bouncing gets to be a problem.

Does the harness fix the bounce issue? If so this could be a killer pack for a lot of applications.

Looking at this pack I have a hard time believing it's significantly better than this guy from Alps for $67 shipped:.

I've had one of these for years and love it for small game hunting. Extremely versatile.

This hellcat Danny pack thing looks pretty cool. I’m not sure what I’d really do with it though.

You can't even compare the two. For $68 I'm sure it's a steal of a deal. But the off the shelf ONE SIZE FITS A FEW packs are horrible for bigger guys like myself. Unless your a 32-34 waist the belts a completely useless. On me the belt pouches would be behind me. There is a reason all of these high end packs are expensive but we'll worth it.

You are correct, can't compare $68 to $270..........for $200 I'll deal with belt pouches 5" or 6" inches out of place.....

Where is the ALPS pack made? China?

I'm definitely not a fan of this pack, but I strive real hard to buy products made in the USA.

Love the look of this thing! I bet it would be perfect for early season day hunts. And easier to shoot a bow with than a regular pack on your back. Day hunting for mule deer

Yeah, I get you there. Obviously the kifaru is also going to be made out much better materials. I guess in my mind a lumbar pack is a light duty item used during light activity so it doesn't warrant a premium price. I only wear the Alps pack a few times a year when my daughter and I have time to chase squirrels!

i like using my tailgunner but anything larger , i use my daypack ,plus crawling through thickets with a full lumber was a bit annoying.i had a kom lumbar made from wool,mortally quiet when stalking but still,catching on the thickets crawling.

Gamechanger!

 

[adamm88]

I think it looks great but iv done the fanny pack thing and i cant find a spot in my system for one. I look at this and my heart skips a beat and i think this would be a great addition to my current setup but as a gear whore i know I would use it twice and it would sit in my closet until i need to unload it for money
