Best For: Up to 3 days or gear-heavy day hunts

The ICON 6 4500 Divide is the perfect pack size for a few nights in the backcountry or a gear-heavy day hunt. In its standard configuration, it delivers 4500 cubic inches (74 liters) of storage. For a more streamlined load, the 500 cubic inch lid and hardware easily removes. At just 5 pounds 14.2 ounces, it’s among the lightest and most capable mid-sized packs available.

This pack features two versatile hauling modes for gear or meat. When you need extra capacity, the load sling mode provides an additional 5000 cubic inches between the bag and frame. When the bag isn’t needed, the Pack Load Hauler allows direct on-frame hauls and doubles as a glassing pad when not in use.

The ICON 6 Suspension sets a new standard for comfort and performance. It features highly breathable spacer air mesh, wider dual-density foam shoulder straps, nearly five inches of vertical adjustability, an ergonomically shaped taller waist belt, and up to two inches of lumbar pad customization.

At the heart of the system is the patent-pending ICON 6 3D Carbon Frame (made in the USA). Built with variable-ply, dual-direction corrugation with angled ridges, channels, and grooves. This frame delivers superior geometric strength, rigidity, and durability. A traditional flat 0/90 carbon layup would need to be five times thicker and heavier to achieve the same performance.

The frame also incorporates Flex-Forward™ Geometry — engineered with progressive stiffness that follows your spine’s natural movement while resisting rearward flex under load. Including maximum stiffness vertically for load support and controlled lateral flex for comfort without sway.

The ICON 6 4500 Divide Bag is constructed from a premium combination of 330D double ripstop CORDURA® Nylon and waterproof CORDURA® fabrics. The coated waterproof material is strategically placed on the bottom and frame-side panels for maximum durability and to keep your gear dry, while the lighter uncoated fabric is used elsewhere to save weight.

Wide 1-inch (25mm) compression straps with dual auto-cam, self-locking buckles secure heavy loads and won’t loosen until you release them. Load-bearing straps are reinforced with wide Hypalon anchors and route over the main zippers for added strength.

Its unique Divide Pocket with dual zipper sliders and C-shape opening is perfect for stowing and quickly accessing a hunting rifle, tripod, or optics. Its innovative YKK locking zippers won’t move or migrate, even if they’re left open.

An innovative horseshoe zipper path with self-locking sliders runs across the top of the back panel, giving you easy access to your hydration reservoir, allowing a rifle to slide down next to the frame, or a large game quarter when opened.

Inside, you’ll find a high-volume waterproof coated drop pocket with dual cinches capable of stowing heavy gear or up to 45 pounds of boned-out meat and 3+ liter reservoirs. A deep drop pocket and two zippered mesh pockets are perfect for gear organization. A convenient external pocket provides quick side access to raingear without having to remove your rifle or bow. Dual stuff-it side pockets and a top accessory pocket offer quick access to frequently used items.

The ICON 6 Pack System is modular with common connection points (eight buckles and two straps) for versatility of swapping any bag size within the ICON 6 family for any hunt.
