Best splurge I ever made

First, to be clear: this review covers the Day EVO Lumbar Pack together with the Strapette EVO. I bought them as a combination, and I don't think my experience with the lumbar pack would be the same without the Strapette.

Before I spent this kind of money, I searched everywhere. Amazon, AliExpress, Temu. I desperately wanted a lookalike, maybe with cheaper materials, but with the same carrying capacity and the same fit. I even bought two bargain packs. For $20 they were pretty good, but you get what you pay for. Nothing I found came close to the quality or the fit of this setup.

Here's why capacity matters to me. I hike alone in bear, mountain lion, and rattlesnake country, right off I-80, with two 15-pound dogs. They love to hike, and my mini pinscher mix thinks he can handle himself, but come on, he's 15 pounds. I carry everything they need. As a woman hiking solo, I've also had a couple of close calls with sketchy people, so I carry deterrents for both human and animal predators. On top of that I bring emergency food and water for myself and the dogs, because as winter gets closer the weather in the mountains changes on a dime. My goal is to get all three of us back to civilization in one piece.

I didn't want a full backpack. I'm 51, carrying a few more pounds than I used to, and a big pack is too much for my grandma frame. This lumbar pack was the answer. It's a stretch for my budget, and I haven't once regretted being broke this month because of it.

The fit is the whole story. Between the pack and the Strapette, there are so many straps to dial in the load to the right parts of your body. I'm carrying more weight than with any previous pack and I'm far more comfortable. Proof: I wear a bear bell so mama bears hear me coming from a long way off. I had to move it down to my boots, because no matter where I clipped it on the pack, the pack moved so snugly with my body that the bell wouldn't ring.

Fit for women. I worried this wouldn't work for a woman, especially one blessed by generations of grandmothers with a little extra in the upper chest area, if you know what I mean. It fits me really well.

My one small complaint: the upper sternum strap on the Strapette slides up and down, and because of my chest it keeps working its way up until it pops off. A flatter-chested person probably wouldn't have this problem. I wish the top strap were built the same fixed way as the bottom one. I've made it work by not cinching it as tight as I'd like. If it really bothered me I'd sew it in place, but it doesn't.

Pockets and organization. I saw someone complain about too few interior pockets. Honestly, there are so many attachment straps inside and out that you don't need a bunch of fancy little pockets. There are outside pockets, more outside pockets, an inside pocket, and endless options for rigging gear.

Even with my wider girth, the padded hip section wraps far enough around the front that I can reach my knife and bear spray without taking the pack off. I first tried mounting them on the waist strap itself, but that was uncomfortable on steep climbs. On the hip padding they're comfortable and easy to grab.

The Strapette's front pockets are essential for me. I keep my stun gun, poop bags, phone, treat pouch, a head net for when the gnats get bad, and my e-collar remotes all within reach. Without those front pockets I'd be writing a very different review. With them, everything I need is at my fingertips.

Bottom line: if you need serious capacity in a lumbar setup and real comfort under load, get the pack AND the Strapette. I haven't found anything else that compares.

Where are interior pockets ?

Good pack but not one interior pocket. I have owned and used the smaller version for several years and it is loaded with interior pockets and a useful divider.

Perfect size for an all day outing

Perfect size for an all day outing. Holds tons of gear and feels great with the Strapette EVOs I purchased to go along with it. Super organized!

Perfect pack for the hunt

Perfect pack for the hunt.
All the right features in all the right places paired with a quality harness/belt system to make all day adventures comfortable. My go to piece. Would be great to have a smaller hip belt option though.

Love the pack
