Comfortable
Took it in to the bush for a hunt with about 30kg of gear. It was very comfortable and well balanced. Haven't used the meat shelf yet. Waiting for the smaller bag to be sold by itself so I can use the same frame.
The Spika Drover II Hauler Pack is a multi-day and meat-shelf backpack designed and tested in Australia and New Zealand. The Hauler system is perfect for serious hunters looking for an innovative and intuitive system that won’t feel like you’re being weighed down by your gear. With expandable storage the packs are spacious enough for multi-day pack hunts, hikes and backpacking. The Drover Hauler is your ultimate companion for even the toughest treks.
If you need different pack sizes for different adventures, then you’re in luck because the Drover II Hauler-Frame is detachable and compatible with both the 40L and 80L Hauler Packs. The Hauler-Frame is packed with features that make carrying both your gear PLUS your prized game a breeze. Features include adjustable meat shelf, adaptive lumbar support, adjustable straps and easy access hip pouches give you plenty of options to meet your needs. The fully adjustable design means you can strap in just about any sized load and adjust it for maximum comfort for the long walk back to camp or your vehicle.
The Drover II pack itself is expandable for those in-field additions or for maximum storage. Protect your gear with the adjustable and removeable hood that includes an easy access pocket for your essentials. 2 zips on the front give you quick access to the main compartment and the orange toggles give you access to a smaller compartment perfect for those smaller items you don’t want to get lost in the main compartment.
To improve on the original Drover Hauler, we’ve updated our firearm attachment system with a secure barrel loop for ensuring your rifle stays centered on your pack for even weight distribution. However, if you prefer your rifle attached to the side of your pack you can also do so with the included straps and adjustable scabbard. In addition, we have updated the included rain cover to blaze orange for better visibility in unpredictable weather and emergency situations.

I had been looking at this pack for a wee while. Finally decided to get it , was happily surprised that it showed up in 3 days!
It got a test run that weekend , Overnight trip , walked in with @15kgs walked out loaded up at about 30kgs , Hauler part of pack was brilliant for holder the meat!
I think the concept is awesome. Looking forward to using it. And hunting from camp just using the frame.
I was shown it out in the bush by a fellow hunter. He regularly packed out big loads of 40kg + using it.
I’m still yet to use it but it appears to be good quality.
Had my first proper test a couple weekends back on a solo mish, managed to haul back both back and front legs and backstraps from an average sized red hind all in one trip. The bag held the weight surprisingly well, when I got home I weighed it and it was 42kg, not bad I say! Didn't even need to clean anything afterwards either
Awesome and we'll made pack
