Stone Glacier Sky Archery 6400 Krux Hunting Pack - Large - Ranger Green

Have redesigned the ever-popular Sky Archer to include an internal spotting scope pocket and a more efficient full-length side-zipper that allows access to the main compartment of the bag without having to remove your bow. Perfect for backcountry bowhunters and late-season rifle hunters alike, the Sky Archer is one of the lightest expedition sized hunting packs. The Sky Archer 6400 is the perfect pack for ultralight mountain bowhunting, weighing just over 5 lb. The bag is convertible to a 4,000 cu. in. bivy mode using a unique top compression strap system with an integrated storm flap. Topside seams and storm flap are sewn to create the natural folds for compression of excess fabric and complete weather protection when in bivy mode. Designed with the backcountry archer in mind, the Sky Archer boasts a 25" panel style side zip allowing access to the main bag without having to remove your bow while strapped to the pack.

Just inside the panel side zip are 3/4" tri-slide buckles to attach swing out pockets and camp pockets for added organization. The center compression straps have added length and dual adjust male and female buckles for increased versatility when attaching a bow. The Sky Archer also has two side pockets, the left pocket on the zipped side of the bag is specifically for a tripod or arrow tube, the larger right side pocket is designed for additional storage. With 6,400 cu. in. of volume and 2,500 plus cu. in. of load shelf expansion, this pack can deliver on everything from trips measured in weeks to those measured in hours.

A load-shelf is integrated into all of the frames, allowing the user to expand the bag off the frame to pack gear or meat in between the bag and the frame. This eliminates the need to put meat inside the bag and keeps the heaviest of loads more stable and closer to your back for increased comfort.

All past and current Stone Glacier bags and frames are interchangeable. This allows you to swap bags on and off your frame for different hunts you may have without requiring the purchase of a whole new bag and frame system. Many Stone Glacier customers own one frame with a smaller day bag and a larger expedition-sized bag to have a system for day hunts and backpack hunts. When viewing the packs on the website, you will notice a "bag only" purchase option if this is something you are considering.

The overall goal was to build a durable load carrying pack, an ultralight pack without using ultralight materials. Stone Glacier packs are constructed of 500 denier Cordura fabric, X-Pac textiles and heavy duty webbing and buckles. X-Pac is a waterproof, USA manufactured fabric technology that has a tear strength double the military requirements for Cordura 500D and is used in the high stress, high wear areas. Cordura 500D is utilized for the main bag due to it's balance of strength, flexibility and noise reduction. All thread is heavy-duty, military-grade and UV-resistant. Buckles are Duraflex Berry Compliant heavy-duty military hardware. In every aspect, the most durable, technical, heavy duty materials were selected.

Spent over 3 Years of design and field testing with loads from 70 to 150 lb without any structural issues to accomplish the goal. Here's how tried to break the frame. Starting with 1" steel plates 13" by 25", worked the way up to four plates in the pack. Each plate weighed about 85 lb, 40 lb per square foot. When it was time to add the third and fourth plate, welded the plates together, lifted them with a crane, wrapped the Solo 3300 around the plates and set it back down on the edge of the welding bench where could get it on the back. The final load weight was 340 lb with no damage, failure or signs of stress. While the goal of testing to failure was not accomplished, the load test did prove the 150 lb plus load rating structurally conservative.

Hydrophobic foam, X-Pac fabric, Cordura 500D fabric and industrial hook and loop combine to provide a suspension with infinite adjustment and comfort. Using hook and loop for the shoulder harness attachment allows the user to not only dial in the exact height of the harness but change the angle each shoulder strap leaves the frame. The ultimate in adjustability and strength. The unique "X", carbon composite, four stay design transfers load evenly to the hip belt while offering optimum load lifter angles. The load is supported by 12 connection points to the frame via 1" webbing. The frame systems have revolutionized the standard of pack frame comfort and fitting ability.

All Stone Glacier packs have two 3/4" tri-slides to hang the Hydro sleeve on the inside back panel. The Hydro sleeve can hold up to a 3L water bladder. Once the Hydro sleeve is installed, simply insert your water bladder into the Hydro sleeve and run the hose out the top. Hydration hoses can then be run through the hydration port found at the top of all Stone Glacier bags and routed down either the left or right shoulder strap.
