The Hunters Element Arete Bag 75L is an essential component of the innovative Arete Pack System, expertly designed for demanding multi-day backcountry hunting trips. This large-capacity pack is purpose-built to comfortably carry your entire camp setup, including your tent, sleeping bag, food, cooker, and a change of clothes, ensuring you are fully equipped for extended excursions into rugged terrain. Crucially, the Arete 75L integrates a robust meat shelf directly into its frame, providing an invaluable hands-free solution for hauling game. This specialised hunting-focused design also includes quick access for spotting scopes and camera gear, alongside a stable, comfortable carry for your rifle, making it an exceptional choice for hunters seeking a reliable hunting meat bag system.

Engineered for adaptability, the Arete 75L can be cinched down to a low-profile shape when not fully packed, allowing it to function and appear like a smaller bag when the extra volume is not required. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for hunters needing flexible storage solutions that adjust to varying load requirements.

The Arete is a truly interchangeable pack system, offering hunters the flexibility to seamlessly switch between different bag sizes using a single frame and harness. A critical advantage for hunters, the robust meat shelf is built directly into the frame. This innovative design allows you to remain hands-free after a successful hunt, securely locking your game between your back and the pack. This strategic placement keeps the weight optimally close to your spine, providing superior weight distribution for enhanced stability and safety when traversing challenging terrain. Every Arete setup delivers this invaluable meat-hauling capability, making it an exceptional choice for those searching for a reliable hunting meat bag system.

The integrated rifle scabbard is thoughtfully designed to accommodate nearly all hunting rifle lengths, sizes, and barrel widths, including those fitted with a standard magnum suppressor. Positioned at the back of the pack, closest to your body, the scabbard ensures optimal weight distribution and minimises sway while you are on the move. This quick-access design means your rifle is always ready for a shot. Having both hands free is critically important when carrying heavy loads, providing essential agility and support, especially on uneven ground or in steep country.

Both the 45L and 75L Arete packs feature two robust, hard-foam covered front pockets. These provide substantial protection for valuable optics such as binoculars, spotting scopes, cameras, and tripods, shielding them from knocks and movement during your journey. An internal zippered sleeve on the front allows for quick deployment or secure storage of optics attached to a tripod when needed. For longer distances, these large front pockets fully enclose and protect your optics and tripods. The hard foam lining on the exterior of these pockets creates a durable protective layer, safeguarding your valuables when the pack is placed down or brushes against branches and scrub. Two auto-lock buckles and straps further secure your gear in place.

The base and rear panels of all Arete Bags are constructed from a robust Cordura® fabric, offering maximum resistance in high-wear areas. The main body of the Desolve® Veil™ Camouflage Arete bags features a laminated 2-layer HYDRAFUSE™ StealthSHELL™ fabric. This soft, quiet peached fabric is ideal for close-quarters hunting scenarios where noise and stealth are paramount. It is also lightweight, boasts high tear-resistance, and resists annoying seeds and burrs. Alternatively, the Stone Green Arete bags are crafted from an ultra-tough 500D Cordura® fabric, perfectly suited for rugged open country where durability is prioritised over stealth, and the pack may be subjected to harder, more abrasive surfaces.

With 16 pockets for comprehensive gear organisation, the Arete 75L ensures all your essentials have a designated place. The main body pocket features a full-length zip, providing easy top-to-bottom access to your gear without the need to rummage. This main compartment also includes a large zippered accessory pocket for further organisation and storage of a water bladder. An additional six accessory pockets are located in the two front compartments, with two upper pockets on the hood for fast access to necessities. Two water bottle pockets are conveniently placed on the lower sides. The extendable top-loading hood design allows you to easily adjust the pack's capacity and height according to your load. For unexpected weather, a hidden, blaze orange rain cover is tucked away in a pocket at the bottom of the pack, ready for deployment or to enhance visibility when required.

Please note: The Hunters Element Arete Bag 75L requires the interchangeable Arete Pack System Frame for use.
