Echo Specs:įabric: 500d Cordura with a VX21S Xpac lining The included web belt will help stabilize when needed and detaches when it’s not. If you’ve packed to the brim and still need more space, grab the zipper pull under one of the hydration port exits and unzip the expansion gusset to gain extra space. Bottom web tracks and tabs above the bottle pockets will link up with a Sherman or Grab-it. A bungie on the front will keep your rain layer or tarp away from your gear.
The front stash pocket is made from the same 4 way stretch material as the side pockets. Dual Nalgene pockets on either side will stretch to hold Jetboils or tripods. The back panel has a bladder pocket with dual hose exits on either side of the top handle leading to elastic hose retainers on each strap. The Echo has three zippered pockets, one on the upper front (w key hook), an internal mesh pocket and the removable chamber pocket. From this pack, the back pocket, Sherman compatibility and lessons on structure for small bags and their intended uses where taken.Īll of these research points lead to a smaller bag that had a few internal structure options, with more access that could expand based on the task at hand.
Some found it to be overbuilt and top heavy without a belt. With the belt and stays, you can pack out a fairly serious load. Its smaller size means you need to be selective about what you bring and have a torso size that works with it. It disappears behind you and can haul a surprising amount once set up correctly. The Doorgunner is our smallest internally framed pack capable of an Omni belt and is a little tank. From this bag, the expanding gusset, smaller size and lessons on accessibility were adopted. The roll top closure and limited access wasn’t for everyone though. The Quandary was a great little bag, ideal for quick trips and could expand into a much larger bag. After the popularity of those designs, the Echo was revisited to earn its name and combine some of the best features of some of our smaller bags and also fix the areas where they fell short. In its original Molle covered form, this bag was adapted to make our Stryker Duplex bag.
KIFARU GRABIT FULL
is his name.Starting as an experiment to make a longer E&E for longer torso’ed adults, the Echo gradually morphed into a full featured compact EDC bag. I know there is a guy in the podcast circuit that shoots trad half the time from a saddle and swears by it: Nathan killen I think. Good luck with the phantom and let us know how it works out. The lightest in my kit is the DIY sitdrag, but I really only use that to practice shooting elevated in the yard. I already had the ropes and carabiner (etc) from the JX3 (and from some work I do around the house), so it was a no brainer. I picked up the trophyline for the deer lease I hunt because I won't need to be packing out from there and it was super cheap. I am sure the phantom will do you great it's got top ratings from all the "celebrity" hunters on the youtube. And, did I mention how comfortable it was. It can also be folded under to be a ground seat. The other advantage of the JX3 is that it doubles as a haul pack if you add a few extra pieces of webbing straps. It is certainly more akin to a crossbow or rifle or compact compound, but I use a 60" recurve, which is on the shorter end of things and I have taken some practice shots in the yard. You really need to adjust the bridge height and I prefer to use it in the standing mode, like a more traditional saddle. Shooting the recurve gets a little tricky, but not impossible. The JX3 is the undisputed champion of comfort, no doubt!
