I've put in about 8 hunts now using the Cypress Pack. I struggled finding a better pack than the Platow Pack but I needed something a little bigger. The Cyrpess pack checked all the boxes for me. The number one thing was being able to strap my sticks to the bottom of my pack.
I have a big noggin, so if you are over 7 5/8 i wouod hold off. great hat otherwise
