Thread: SUMMIT vs DROVER

Out of those two I would go hunter's element just because they have a better warranty.
However I would buy a macpac or stoney creek over either of those two.
Got given a hunters element pack and it fell apart on it's first outing. Good warranty but a liability.

Have you had anything to do with a drover it made a lot better than any off the stoney creek packs iv had & iv a few as I could only get 2-3 years out off them before they started to go into holes or the shoulder strap started to rip off they where packs in the 30-40 litter rang to be fair & made from the silent fabric but I only ever used them as a day pack but they had carry a lot off boned out deer out & I bring all the meat out so there have been some heavy loads the drover pack is a 1.5 old and it doesn't even look like it's had much use and it's carried a lot bigger loads cos I use it as a day pack carrying meat out & all my camping gear as well so only need the one 40 litre pack for a weekend hunt and today I shot 2 fallow on a farm and had to carry them back up the hill to the ute I just bought one at a time in the meat shelf whole and carried them up like that it was freaking awesome so much better than having the leg sticking into your shoulders.

Na never used one. I have about 10 packs but tend not to use any of the hunting type brands other than for day packs as most of them tend to crap out.
A one year warranty on a pack with very little reputation would put me off.
I suppose it all depends on how often you use them but an 80l it is a pack designed to carry a load and it is an investment. If the right pack was purchased it would last many many years.

When buying pack you need try them with weight in them as you need a to find a pack that fits your body when tatonka brought out there 30 - 40 liter day pack I try one but it was the most uncomfortable pack iv every worn but lots off other people love them
