Best Hunting Backpacks & Duffle Bags of 2025

"I've been hunting with a surplus 24-hour assault bag, but this new bag is much quieter and more comfortable. The organization with pockets is excellent, and I can easily strap my platform and sticks while walking in with my bow in hand. I did not give it a full 5 stars because I wish I could carry my bow without worrying about it getting damaged, but overall, I love this bag and it's a fraction of the cost of branded hunting gear. Highly recommended!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and storage of this backpack. It's my best buy ever for hunting gear. I have used it for two solid years across various hunts, including turkey, deer, and waterfowl. The fit is adjustable and comfortable for my size, and it comes with a rain cover, which I haven't needed yet because it’s surprisingly waterproof. I would definitely recommend this bag!"

"This is my first year getting back into hunting, and this bag has been perfect for carrying everything I need. I've used it for two hunts so far, and it holds my compound bow and hunting rifle securely. The quality is good, although the clips can be a bit loud. Overall, for the price, it's a great choice!"

"My husband bought this backpack for day hunts, and I had to get one too! I love that it’s stylish, functional, and lightweight. The waterproof cover is a great bonus. It’s the perfect size for day trips!"

"I've taken this bag on many hunting trips, and it has plenty of storage and is waterproof. It’s really comfortable on my back, and I appreciate the smooth zippers. Overall, it’s durable and looks fantastic!"

"I purchased this backpack for my son, and I’m pleased with the quality given the price. It has a good range of pockets and comes with an orange rain cover. I’m satisfied with my purchase!"

"I bought this pack for bow hunting, and after my first use, it quickly became the best bag I own. It has many well-sized pockets. The only issue I've encountered is that the zippers tend to slide on their own, but I fixed that with some simple clips. After 60 days of hunting in various weather conditions, the bag still looks brand new. There was just one minor annoyance with a mesh pocket having the zipper at the bottom, but overall, it’s not a big deal. I loved it so much that I bought two more for friends, and they absolutely love theirs as well."

"I appreciate the roomy design with multiple zippered pockets to keep my gear organized. The solid stitching makes it clear that nothing about this pack is cheap. I'm really satisfied with my purchase."

"This pack is perfectly sized for a single-day hunt. It has plenty of room and pockets to hold all my gear. It's well-made and comfortable to wear. However, I found it a bit surprising that it lacks a hydration port for a Camelbak water bladder, which seems standard on other outdoor backpacks. Despite this, it works well with my gun or bow, though it's slightly awkward with my crossbow."

"My husband loves this gift. The storage capacity is amazing. The style and multiple storage locations left him with free hands while hunting."

"I absolutely love this hebag! I would have given 10 stars if I could. It's well-built and 1/3 the price of the big box store I was shopping at before. My rifle fits beautifully on it for our hikes to the blinds during hunting. The pockets are arranged for quick retrieval of items. Thank you! I'll try to get a photo when we head out next weekend!"

"This backpack is well made and huge! It has tons of storage, pockets, and zippers! The padding is nice, and it's easy to adjust."

"I am well pleased with this backpack. The quality is good, and it has enough capacity for an all-day cold weather hunt. I can carry both my rifle and crossbow comfortably. Although the sleeve for the rifle stock is a bit tight and not adjustable, I'm glad I can attach my crossbow to the sturdy back strapping. This makes moving in and out of the woods much easier. Overall, I'm really happy with this backpack—it's perhaps my last one after many years of searching."

"I don't usually write reviews, but this backpack truly deserves it. After breaking my Walmart special, I searched for something comfortable and reliable. I found this pack after weeks of research, and I'm impressed by its comfort. The adjustable straps fit perfectly, and the back is vented, keeping me cool while hiking. With plenty of pockets, I was able to easily store all my gear, including my shotgun and food. It's sturdy and designed to last. I highly recommend this for anyone needing a 2-3 day hunting backpack—it's worth the investment!"

"Having just returned from a two-week moose hunt in Canada, I can confidently say this pack is incredibly comfortable. The frame provides excellent support, and the numerous pockets are very handy. The main storage might feel a bit small, but it surprisingly holds more than you'd expect. I did have a zipper handle come off due to overpacking, but it was easy to fix. At this price point, I believe this is a great value and definitely recommend it."

"For my dad's birthday, I purchased this bag. He says it's exactly what he needed for deer hunting. The adjustable straps make it comfortable for him."

"I absolutely love this bag! It fits my Wicked Ridge crossbow snugly and has room for all my gear, including my field kit and first aid supplies."

"I recently got this Camo Hunting Backpack and it's become essential for my hunting trips. It's comfortable to carry, even fully loaded, and the water-resistant, silent fabric is a game changer in the woods."

“I really like this bag! I purchased two because it's so durable and comfortable. It also washes nicely.”

“After searching for a quiet and comfortable camo pack, I finally found this one! While it needs Scotchguarding because the fabric is a bit absorbent, I love how quiet the zippers are. There’s plenty of room for my gear, plus the side mesh pockets are perfect for my water bottle or coffee tumbler. The chest strap is a little short, but I’m considering adjusting it instead of removing it.”

“I bought this pack for Archery Hunting and I’m really impressed! It’s very well made with straps to secure my jacket while walking. The chest strap keeps it secure on my shoulders, which is great. I thought it might be low quality because of the price, but it’s definitely not junk!”

"I bought this for my son as a school backpack, but it’s a bit too small for winter gear like snow pants and boots. However, for hunting, it’s perfect for just a few items."

"This pack holds plenty of stuff for a day trip! However, I found that it doesn’t keep water out at all; my belongings got soaked in light rain. The zipper loops tend to get tangled, making it difficult to open, especially in low light. The strings on the zippers also break easily. Still, it’s okay for dry days."

"This is just what I needed for hunting. It’s slightly smaller than a standard backpack, but it fits my needs well."

"I purchased this to carry my folding rifle (Keltec Sub2000), and it’s a perfect fit. There’s enough storage and the zippers feel secure. Overall, I got it at a great price!"

"We really like this pack; it’s just the right size for our needs."

"I try not to do reviews until I've used the product for a while. I purchased this in Sept 2023, so this hunting season is my second one. I've used this backpack for many things besides holding my gun. It holds my quiver perfectly, a tripod, a chair, almost anything you can think of. When I use the waist and shoulder straps, it feels almost weightless. The fabric is really quiet and water-resistant enough to keep things dry in light rain. The quality of fabric and craftsmanship is amazing and the price point makes it a great deal! I highly recommend it."

"I wanted something I could carry my crossbow or my 45-70 as a backup when I'm out in the weeds. I think it's a great little pack for the price point. It's actually bigger than I thought; I was able to fit all my stuff in it and was still surprised by the room. I had to take some stuff out because it got heavy! Overall, it works pretty well and I’m very happy with this purchase."

"This backpack is very comfortable with lots of pockets and is affordable. It effectively distributes the load, making it easy for me to carry my gear while hunting. The rifle slot is a major bonus; it's roomy and comfortable to wear. I highly recommend this product!"

"I purchased this backpack as a gift for my husband, who typically uses a construction vest to carry his gear. When he finally got to try it out, he was amazed by its comfort and excited about the increased storage capacity. The pack is well constructed and has pockets perfectly positioned for convenience."

"After using this hunting backpack for a few months, I can confidently say it has exceeded all of my expectations. The practical design with well-thought-out compartments makes organizing my gear easy. The padded straps and ergonomic support provide comfort during long treks, and the waterproof feature is a huge plus!"

"I wasn't expecting much when I bought this bag to replace my old youth day pack, but it's far better than I imagined. The main compartment is significantly larger, plus there are multiple pockets to help me stay organized. I appreciate the lightweight design and great camo pattern, and I would recommend this bag over pricier options for its quality and value."
