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

  • Upgraded MOLLE System: A new laser-cut MOLLE system helps drop the weight of the pack while enhancing usability and overall aesthetics. 
  • Added Carry: A 3/4-inch back compression strap and bottom pouch can accommodate a bow, rifle, tripod or poles.
  • Hydration Compatible: Internal bladder sleeve with dual exit ports.
  • Reconfigured Internal Storage: External lid pockets and repositioned interior mesh zipper helps keep gear organized.
  • Long-Lasting Materials: Made from durable 500D Ranger Green Cordura with #10 YKK and #8 YKK zippers.
  • Frame Compatibility: Works seamlessly with ARK, Duplex Lite, Hunter and Tactical frames.

Hiking with pack

“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.”
