2017 ATA Show Showcases New Realtree Backpacks

I spent today walking the floor at the the 2017 Archery Trade Association Show in Indianapolis, Indiana. As always, there were a ton of awesome products on display, but I had to stay focused. My job was to check out the latest and greatest in hunting backpacks. As you will see, there are a lot of great new packs hitting the market this year. Each of the packs you see below offers a set of features uniquely designed with specific hunting needs in mind. Need a pack to carry out your meat? Check. Want a pack to carry your bow or rifle to the field? Check. Want a small waist pack to carry just your essential items to and from the stand? Check. With so many diverse packs hitting the stores soon, you have no excuse not to have the perfect pack for your future hunting needs.

We found waist packs a plenty on display at the show this year, but ScentLok's newest Trek Pack takes the waist pack to a new level. This pack does more than just tote your gear. Carbon Allow technology absorbs odor so game animals can't detect you, and the DWR finish sheds light moisture and polyester tricot fabric offers long-lasting durability.

The buckle-waist closure keeps the pack secure while the side strap pockets provide easy access on the go. The top pocket zipper opening offers large pocket access and the foldover front flap keeps gear protected. Mesh side pockets are perfect for carrying a water bottle.
