Kifaru 44 Mag Pack Lede

Kifaru has announced the highly anticipated relaunch of the 44 Mag pack. First introduced in 2019, the original pack was popular for its versatility and size. While it was still a traditional top-loading pack, the capacity and organization made it a great option for single- or multi-day trips. 

Packing Elk Head

The reinvented model boasts significant upgrades to enhance gear organization, weapon-carry capabilities and overall functionality, yet maintains the modularity and durability synonymous with Kifaru.

44 Mag Pack Bag

“With the relaunch of the 44 Mag, we set out to build upon the pack’s already solid foundation by incorporating key improvements that enhance performance in the field,” said Kenzie Gates, community marketing manager at Kifaru. “This new iteration delivers exceptional modularity and organization so hunters can be prepared for the task at hand.”

It comes from the vegetables and mushrooms you choose.
