Thread: Southern Lite Packs - Review

The good thing about them is that they are simple. You don't have to read a manual to operate them. There aren't belts and buckles all over the shop.

They are well made and strong, but light. One big roomy single bag that pulls down tight if there's not much in it. I use mine for day hunts.

Mines 60 litres I think and I can carry it comfortably chocker with meat. Plenty of times 2 boned out deer. Good lumbar support and padded straps. The internal frame keeps the load stable and it sits very well on my back. I wash mine out with a hose but I should use a big dry bag or something for the meat to keep it clean. Too good (and expensive) to abuse really.

The only negative I can think of is it can be a bit of a pain getting in and out of the roll top lid for stuff like a camera or snacks. Just a minor thing really.

Here's mine when it was new.
