The Hoodlum offers dual zippered side pockets and main compartment access from both sides while keeping a customizable back panel that works with our Nomad Gunbearer system. Its volume is 6300 cubic inches fully stuffed and 5420 cubic inches in lid mode. Dual side pockets add organization and measure 400 cubic inches per pocket. The side pockets will hold the bigger spotting scopes and have enough room for angled eye pieces. The Hoodlum weighs in at 3 lbs. with straps, buckles and chamber pocket, it can handle multi day trips or compress down to just the side pockets for quick scouts. Dual Velcro hose ports over each side pocket make routing bladders and cables easy. The lid has a Belt Pouch matrix and reinforced grab handle as well as two tabs to attach the lid straps to. The top and bottom compression straps are sewn in and connect back through the frame. The middle compression straps are connected by K Clip to the frame and buckle just over the main compartment zippers. All straps come with Autolock buckles and Velcro strap keepers. The drawstring top main compartment is accessed by #10 YKK coil zippers while the side pockets are #8. The back panel has a load shelf sewn in above the bag tensioners. Two belt pouch matrixes on front, one on the lid and the chamber pocket on the inside offer modular pouch options. There are attachment points on the bottom for either a Grab it or Sherman pocket.

Fantastic bag. Paired with the duplex lite frame, it's a great setup. When used in conjunction with kifaru's modular pouch/pocket/lid system, it's almost infinitely customizable. Straps down when lightly loaded small enough to use as a daypack. Capable of carrying more weight than you will want to. Used it on a Colorado Backcountry archery elk hunt this year. I have no doubt I will get a lifetime of hunts out of this bag. If you are are not sure kifaru is worth the cost: it most definitely is.
