    I have the molle me day pack. No frame in it. It is a bit of closed cell foam back. It is well made and i have stuffed a chamois with day gear but it was bloody tight. I think if it were 5 -10 L more it would be perfect as a day hunt pack. Pretty expensive but seems to be durable.

    Being down south, what makes this gear so good? besides the high price tag.
    looking at it, the weight alone would pull my pants off.

    Well kiwi hunter that's probably a fair call if you have had and tried some other form of bumbag (I thort it can't be much better than anything else out there) when you see it and handle it you know it's a quality product as for pulling downwards add a yoke system that can take a hydration pack and it goes up a knotch again ,bottom line for me it's the most comfy belt I've. Used

    I don't know how you guys can stand having all that shit hanging off your waist. What do you put in all those pouches that's so important anyway?

    Hi Bernie
    I have tried a few including light day packs.
    the SC was too big for me as just a belt, a little mod and it's done the job 10 or so years now.
    It has hung in the reloading room for the last two years,but it's coming off the wall next month
    I find it ok on the tops.

    I asked about the yoke system / shoulder harness. The idea is that the waist belt be adjusted to sit on top of your pelvis, and your pelvis take the load.....and not to have the shoulder harness, if used, to support even more weight in the waist belt setup.
    My impression is that the shoulder harness is their version of a camel back hydration / micro day bag set-up, and that it attaches to the waist belt just to stop it flapping about.
    The load is to be carried by the belt on the hips, not the shoulders.

    Just to be able to walk in off the street,and spend an hour with real people who make the product and build a personal, modular system is fantastic.....

    I saw Quentins setup on Saturday..... I'm sure if he chose to hunt without the dogs he could quickly detach his canine first aid kit and replace it with another pouch with gear for a different hunt.

    Money well spent on a great Kiwi product IMO

    Hi Tahr
    I used it a lot when culling.
    It also supports the back, has enough pockets for the ammo needed in those days and all that I need if caught out.

    I am glad that I had that bag of first aid gear for the dogs with me today as had to patch spot up and vet called into night on the way past it may look a lot of stuff on their but it's not that heavy. Their more ammo in their than any thing else.
