The key to all-day comfort on the mountain starts with a properly fitted backpack. To find the right waist size and frame height for your pack, take your measurements and reference the sizing chart below.
WAIST BELT SIZES

Small: 28" - 34"
Medium: 35" - 39"

FRAME SIZE RECOMMENDATIONS
22" FRAME
Recommended for people under 5'8". Ideal for military personnel, fitness rucking, compact loads, and whitetail hunters.
25" FRAME
Recommended for most people 5'8" and taller. Provides the most load-lifting capability, making it ideal for carrying heavy packs on extended backcountry hunts. The added height helps distribute weight efficiently, making it a top choice for western big game hunters hauling meat and gear over rugged terrain.

This is the one for long adventures to tightening the straps and get outside for a day hunt. We have been going on 7-14 day adventures using this bag and each time I am very grateful for this pack. Packing out heavy meat runs and this bag has taken all the beating. When this one wears out, I will buy another Hoodlum. Thank you Aron.

- JMJohn M.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoGreat Pack
I've used this pack on multiple multi-day hunts. Its durability and carry capacity are awesome.
- TtylerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agohighly recommend!!!
I have put this pack through the ringer!!! I was in a brutal accident and wasn't able to wear a pack.. but with the load lifters and adjustments this pack offers I was able to wear it through the seasons packing multiple bulls out and even a few deer this year it never once let me down!
I would like to know where I can order the rifle attachment it shows in the picture descriptions any help with that would be great

This review is about a year late, but better late than never.
Last year I purchased a Hoodlum pack and a frame from a combination between Kifaru and Kifaru equipment via BlackOvis.
I went out to Colorado for a season of deer / elk hunting and found myself in a precarious situation. My brother and I were helping some friends pack an elk out and I slipped down a frozen over water chute in the Junction Creek area (Durango).
I honestly thought this was going to bring serious bodily injury or death as I was sliding quite fast toward what appeared to be a tall vertical drop. All of the cliche movie bits about seeing my life flash before my eyes was indeed a thing, but I digress. After sliding for what felt like a very long distance, my Hoodlum shifted off center of my back and stopped me dead in my tracks by catching on a fell tree in the frozen water. At the time I was probably 210 pounds with an 80+ pound pack out.
There is absolutely no damage to the pack, mounting equipment, frame, etc. The purpose of this email is to praise the craftsmanship in the manufacturing of your equipment. Without the quality and reliability of my pack, I may have never made it off the mountain.
I don't know who within the organization will receive this email, but I hope it can make it up to the shot callers as a testament that the relentless pursuit of quality manufacturing does not go unnoticed.
Thank you for providing exceptional gear for us numskulls. I am sure I am not the only…

This is the pack, does everything from multi day to single day trips. Having tried multiple kifaru packs and other brands, i have confidently landed on the Hoodlum as my go-to. You will not be dissapointed. Add pouches and pullouts for organization.
