GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (July 15, 2026) — Mobile whitetail hunters have long faced a familiar compromise: carry a lightweight pack for the hunt, or haul a frame pack for the pack out. Latitude Outdoors solves this problem with its most versatile and high-performing pack to date, featuring a complete frame system built from the ground up for the mobile whitetail hunter.
Latitude Outdoors’ Praxis Frame Pack, the centerpiece of the company’s new-for-2026 pack lineup, is the first frame pack specifically designed for the whitetail hunter. For decades, mobile hunters have carried two packs: the lightweight pack they hunt with and the frame pack they hope to need. The Praxis ends that compromise. At 2.5 lbs with a 7075 aluminum frame and carbon fiber cross supports, it is as light as any modern mobile hunting pack and the only one that transforms into a true frame pack for hauling meat, saddle gear, or a full treestand setup without skipping a beat.
Designed for the demands of mobile hunting, the Praxis features an adjustable waist belt and shoulder straps that distribute weight, a bucket lid that puts critical gear within reach while in the tree, full pack access with gear loaded so nothing has to come off during the hunt, and torque straps that eliminate gear and meat shift from entry point to pack out. Every decision from frame geometry to strap layout to weight distribution reflects lessons learned from countless miles, blown setups, aggressive moves, and hard-earned successes in the field. The Praxis is the only pack built to serve as both an everyday hunting pack and a frame pack in a single system.

While the Praxis is built to carry it all, not every hunt calls for a full-frame pack. The Flyer Pack is the lightest and most compact option in the lineup, purpose-built for the saddle hunter who refuses to carry more than they need. A specialized storage panel houses the platform and organizes gear in the exact order it is needed, so setup time is never an issue when opportunity strikes. A full molle panel allows complete customization of the storage layout using Latitude accessory pouches, and torque straps lock everything in place so the pack stays rock solid no matter how aggressive the approach. An internal 7075 aluminum frame with carbon fiber cross supports delivers improved load distribution without the bulk, keeping you mobile through thick cover and difficult terrain. Ultra-low profile and extremely light, the Flyer Pack is what mobile saddle hunting was always supposed to feel like.
