Predator Pack

This is my second predator pack, paired with the predator pack straps (an absolute must). I also have the older sewn molle version for my standard size predator platform. Same quality I’ve come to expect, I do like the bungee cord attachment method at the top for the newer model. All around great transport option.

This predator XL pack seems like a great quality built pack. Only complaint I have is it does not fit the new CFX platform. The CFX platform only goes about 3 quarters the way in an then gets to wide for the pack. It is still usable but not ideal for dealing with getting the platform in and out of the pack in the woods.

First impressions are that it seems like it will work, but the star rating is not for functionality but for price. For a premium price point, this should be a USA made item. This price for a made in China bag is pretty crazy.

I recently purchased and have played around with a bit now. One thing that I am not a fan of is how close to the top of the pack the stand sits, it almost coming out of the bag. I tried to push and wiggle it down as far as possible. The type of material used does appear it will stretch or loosen over time, possibly allowing stand to set better. The other part that I dislike is the material and noise, honestly materail just feels cheap (I am sure it is not). I am on the fence about all the straps. Strap to hold it closed, strap to hang from hys strap (or another gear hanging strap), strap that is a handle or another hanging strap, back pack straps, straps on bottom of pack. Now honestly majority of strapping is very useful, minus the handle or gear strap. They did cover all the strap areas. I do think this bag will be awesome for a quick hunt. I can strap my sticks on bottom loops or use gear wire to strap to molle loops.

I am playing around with getting the predator platform pack to attach to my back pack. I would like to sandwich my bow between backpack and predator platform pack, climbing sticks placed on sides of back pack.
This is just all my thoughts and opinions, hopefully it is helpful.
Would I buy again, undecided at this time. Better answer will be once used in the field for hunting.
Dont really want to leave a star rating at this time.

Stitching at the top cinch strap and on some of the molly webbing on the front of the pack came lose after the 2nd trip out. Fixable issue i guess but not expected. Carries the platform fine and holds sticks fairly secure.
