Arete Bag & Meat Hauler Frame Combo
THE COMPLETE HUNT PACK SYSTEM
$349.98
The Arete Complete Hunt Pack System Combo lets you choose one bag from three size options—25L, 45L, or 75L. Each size is available in two colours, Stone Green or Desolve Veil, and includes the advanced Arete Frame for ultimate support and comfort.
The Arete Meat Hauler Frame is the cornerstone of this system, engineered for strength, comfort, and adaptability. Designed to carry loads of up to 50kg, it features a body-mapped curvature and an XLADDER™ Chassis, ensuring even weight distribution across the hips, back, and shoulders. The next-generation dual-density padding and FoamFlow™ cooling channels keep you comfortable over long distances by reducing pressure points and improving airflow.
The frame’s customisable height adjustment ensures a perfect fit for any body type, while reinforced tension points and Duraflex® hardware deliver exceptional durability. An integrated meat shelf positions heavy loads close to your spine, reducing strain and improving stability. As the core of the modular Arete Pack System, this frame is compatible with the 75L, 45L, and 25L Arete Bags, so you only need to invest in the frame once for all your hunting trips.
