The Vario Day Pack was made for running and gunning, yet at just under 2,000 cubic inches, it’ll still carry all you need and then some. With its hideaway shoulder straps, you can use it with or without the frame for those times when you need more mobility. Constructed from KXO-50™ fabric that’s tougher and lighter than ever, it has a wide-mouth, zipped opening for easy access, side-access zippers to the main pocket, a hydration sleeve, and daisy chain lash points for more gear.

Reviews

Lightweight, versatile, and surprisingly spacious

"Perfect size for early and mid season hunts, and I even use it for shorter hunts in late season. This pack is light and versatile but has plenty of room for all day hikes and hunts. I keep the 3L hydration reservoir filled up, rain gear, and backup socks and still find it big enough. I step up to the 2200 for most late season hunts so I can comfortably pack extra layers for long, cold sits. I love that it can be used separate from the vario frame and will usually detach it at the base of the tree when using a climbing stand to drop weight and unnecessary bulk. There are tons of pockets for organizing."

— Lex C. (5/5)

Great!

"Definitely recommend this. It was able to fit everything I needed for the day. I have it paired with the bat wings for a little extra storage if I should need it, and made it easier to pack both my tripod and rifle on the outside of the pack as well."

— Nathaniel S. (5/5)

Vario DAY OS

"Works great with the Vario pack frame."

— Garth O. (5/5)

Very versatile

"Excellent pack. I love that I can attach it to my pack frame for hunting out west or pull out the supplied shoulder straps for whitetails without the frame."

— James H. (5/5)

Love this system!

"Love the option for a small pack that fits the vario frame and can still be used with the meat shelf!"

— Devon F. (5/5)

Easily 5+ Stars if it had one thing. . .

"I've had this pack since 2018 and it's been amazing. I've put it through it's paces using it a ton for whitetail hunts in the Midwest as well as in the Black Hills. It's takes abuse without worries. It has tons of pockets and storage space, I love the bottom lashing straps for heavy cold weather gear, but really really wish it had two across the front of the pack. I feel that's the only miss with this bag. On the frame, not a problem because of the batwings, but standalone it needs those straps to help. That's my only gripe after years of heavy and rough usage. Top quality gear no doubt."

— Josh H. (4/5)
