Mobile whitetail hunters have traditionally faced a difficult decision of carrying a lightweight pack that excels during the hunt or bring a heavier frame pack capable of hauling meat after the shot. But now they can have the best of both worlds. Latitude Outdoors aims to eliminate that compromise with the introduction of its all-new 2026 pack lineup, including the innovative Praxis Frame Pack and the ultralight Flyer Pack.
Designed specifically for the demands of mobile whitetail hunting, the new packs combine lightweight construction with purpose-driven features that prioritize mobility, organization, and pack-out performance.
Praxis Frame Pack
At the center of the new lineup is the Praxis Frame Pack, a first-of-its-kind frame pack engineered exclusively for whitetail hunters.

Unlike traditional systems that require hunters to carry separate packs for hunting and meat hauling, the Praxis serves both roles in a single platform. The pack weighs just 4.5 pounds, including its 2.5-pound 7075 aluminum frame with carbon fiber cross supports, making it comparable in weight to many modern mobile hunting packs while offering true frame-pack capability when it’s time to haul meat, saddle gear, or even a complete treestand setup.
Latitude Outdoors designed the Praxis around real-world experiences gathered from countless miles scouting, aggressive in-season moves, and demanding pack-outs. Every element, from its frame geometry to strap placement and weight distribution, is intended to improve comfort and efficiency in the field.

Among its standout features are a supportive adjustable waist belt and shoulder harness, dual-density foam for improved comfort, Torque Straps that minimize shifting loads, and Dog Bone compression straps for quieter climbing stick transport. A convertible bucket lid transforms into an in-tree gear shelf, while full-access storage allows hunters to retrieve equipment without unloading the pack.
The Praxis also includes an integrated stowable load shelf for meat hauling, a dual-purpose cargo panel, water-resistant liner, hydrophobic zippers, hydration compatibility, and gear hoist attachment points.

Purpose-built for saddle hunting, the Flyer features an organized storage panel that keeps platforms and essential gear arranged in the order they’re needed, reducing setup time when every second counts.
A full MOLLE panel allows hunters to customize storage with Latitude accessory pouches, while the company’s Torque Strap system secures gear tightly to prevent movement during long hikes through thick cover.

Built for Mobility
“Saddle hunting takes hunters to so many different places as the season’s conditions and deer movements change, and we designed this lineup to go with you every step of the way,” Alex Chopp, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer at Latitude Outdoors, said. “The Praxis and Flyer are built to adapt to any gear requirement, any condition, and any packout the season throws at you.”
