Brute 3500

The Brute 3500 is purpose-built for dedicated western hunters who need a complete, “out-of-the-box” system for essential gear and the load hauling capacity for 1-2 day hunts. It comes with several key features that improve comfort and adaptability in the field. Contour Shoulder Harness: The Brute 3500 comes with our new Contour Shoulder Harness suspension system, making it easy to get an exact torso fit with unlimited height adjustment. By tailoring your fit, you can quickly improve load distribution and remove weight off your shoulders, reducing strain and discomfort. This correctly places weight on your hips and allows you to move more efficiently over long distances. Robust air-mesh padding on the harness promotes airflow and regulates your body temperature by dissipating heat as you move. Elevated load lifters allow you to adjust the pack's angle and bring the top of the pack closer to your center of gravity. With proper adjustment, you’ll have a more natural posture, and the pack will feel much lighter on your back.   Cradle Hip Belt: The Brute 3500 also comes with the Cradle Hip Belt, our most comfortable hip belt to date. A silicon print on the lumbar pad keeps your pack and clothing positioned in place during your hunt, preventing clothing from riding up and rubbing. The retention buckle keeps the belt securely around your waist, and pull-forward straps allow you to easily tighten while on the move. Rear stabilizing straps help you prevent sway, helping to increase your endurance and keep you focused on the hunt. Storage: 3,500 cubic inches of space gives you enough storage to last a couple days, or the ability to go longer with a minimalist kit. It’s ideal for early-season or light mid-season hunts, providing you with the room to carry your essentials while keeping weight low. The Brute 3500 offers dual access to the main compartment—either through the zippered top or the front zipper panel. A front stretch pocket gives quick access to essentials like rain shells, extra ammo, or tools. Inside the pack, you’ll find a hydration hanger loop and elastic stuff pockets for small items. A full-length stretch pocket on one side of the pack provides storage for a spotting scope or other quick-access gear. If you're running light or have already dropped camp, tighten the straps down to compress the 3500 into a more streamlined day-hunting pack. The Brute 3500 features a removable lid that attaches to the frame using gate-keeper clips. On top of the lid, there's a stretch pocket for quick access to larger, irregularly shaped items like water bottles or survival kits. The front includes a general-purpose pocket for small items such as tools, headlamps, snacks, or medical equipment. The Brute 3500, 4500, and 6500 packs are built with a lightweight internal frame to provide stability, comfortably distributing weight for long ascents to ridgeline glassing points, and during brutal pack outs after filling your tag. Similar in design to the MODFRAME™, an integrated load panel extends as far out as needed, while vertical and horizontal straps with auto-locking buckles keep the load tight and secure to your back. This minimizes weight shift, improves your body mechanics, and reduces fatigue as you move across uneven terrain.
