KUIU Ranger 2200 Day Pack Review | Perfect Setup for Saddle Hunting

This is my initial overview of the KUIU Ranger 2200 Day Pack, and right away I can tell—it’s 100% perfect for saddle hunting. I haven’t had it in the field yet, but based on layout, comfort, and how it carries saddle gear, this pack checks all the boxes.

What really sets it apart is how well it follows the KISS principle—Keep It Simple, Stupid. Instead of cramming in 15 micro compartments that get in the way, KUIU focused on fewer, larger pockets that actually make it easier to stay organized when you’re moving light and fast through the woods.

🔥 Why It’s a Saddle Hunting Win:
✔️ Streamlined profile that rides close to the back—ideal for climbing and mobility
✔️ 2,200 cu in capacity—plenty of room for ropes, platform, layers, and essentials
✔️ Clean layout with big, easy-access compartments
✔️ Horseshoe-style main zipper, side zip entry, external stretch pockets
✔️ Hydration bladder slot + padded lumbar support for all-day comfort
✔️ Lightweight aluminum frame adds structure without adding weight

If you’re a saddle hunter looking for a day pack that’s simple, tough, and built for efficiency, the Ranger 2200 is absolutely worth a look.
