The BackPack Blind was designed for maximum concealment. Hunters no longer have to carry in a separate blind. The Blind is incorporated on the BackPack and NOT in the BackPack, so it does not take away any space from the backpack. Once attached to the shooting rail, it’s very user friendly. “Less than 2 minutes to set up and 2 minutes to take down”.

• Light weight and quiet.
• 2200 cubic inches of capacity with the blind folded and put away.
• Durable construction, waterproof shell and blind.
• Mesh Pockets that store your gear are at arms length, once the blind is fully opened. H2O Compatible.
• Strategically placed zipper atop the backpack gives you access to the main compartment without having to reach over the shooting rail.
• Fits all fixed, climbers, ladder stands and tri-pod stands (With Shooting Rail)

On Target - First off let me just say thank you to the guys behind this great product. You are true innovators and outdoorsmen. I do a lot of hunting and I seem to always have my pack with me. I don’t always carry a pop-up blind or take the time to cut branches and build a man made blind. With this product I have the best of both worlds. The blind is always with me whether I need it or not. It’s no extra weight, I still have all the room in my pack as I did before, and it’s a dependable, durable pack. I would recommend this pack to anyone. Great Pack guys!

Off Target - There weren’t any real problems with the pack. I did notice some improvements I would recommend though. 1. Add some sort of comfortable strap that snaps around the waist area for long hikes. 2. I would add more durable waterproof zippers all around.
