WRANGELL Backpack

*Black w/Slate Gray Trim Colorway Discontinued

 

** backordered

When WRANGELL was approached by hardcore backpack-style hunters to build a backpack customized to the rigors of backpack mountain hunting we knew we were about to create something extraordinary! For far too long the mentality towards traditional external frame backpacks had been that they are dinosaurs of the load-hauling world. This is a rightly earned reputation, but WRANGELL has set out to change this once and for all! By incorporating a completely redesigned shape, integrated side pockets, PassThrough™ Compression Strap Technology, and state-of-the-art fabrics, WRANGELL has taken external frame backpack bag design and functionality to an entirely new level!

 

The WRANGELL Revelation 7800 Backpack = Frame Backpack Meets 21st Century Technology!

 

The WRANGELL Revelation 7800 (cubic inch) backpack bag was the second product we created to withstand the demands of the most dedicated backcountry adventurer. With its streamlined design and easy-to-use style, it is designed to perform in the mountain and brush choaked valleys of the hinterlands. The Revelation 7800 is built using WRANGELL'S exclusive modular (PassThrough™) backpack compression system. This system allows you to easily control the compression of the main pack body, yet allows easy access to side pockets and other external compartments (the more you compress the pack body, the more room you have in the full-length side pockets). Two pockets run along the sides of the backpack and are individually compressible which allows you to quickly access items such as a spotting scope or water bottle without having to loosen or rearrange your pack's main compression system. Lastly, unlike other backpack compression strap systems, the exclusive WRANGELL PassThrough™ system allows you to completely compress your backpack down to less than daypack-sized capacity! These exclusive features offer exceptional versatility whether you are making a long backcountry push or day hunting out of a spike camp.

 

The WRANGELL Revelation 7800 allows users to customize their organization system within the backpack. Each full-length side pocket is configured to accept a removable panel with three integrated pockets (two small pockets and one large pocket) and is designed for quick and easy removal/replacement so you can remove it and access your small items where you may not want your entire pack (for example, you could take this removable pocket panel with you inside a tent where you may not have room for an entire backpack) Each pack can accept up to two Pocket Panels which are purchased separately from the pack (as an accessory). This allows users to customize their bag without paying for a feature they don’t want or need!

The Revelation 7800 is hydration bladder compatible using an add on hydration bladder pouch. It also can be configured with an internal sling that allows the user to control the height at which heavy objects (for example: boned out meat) sit inside the backpack and prevents them from sliding down into the bottom of your pack. (The hydration bladder pouch and sling are pack accessories that allow you to customize a backpack for your specific preferences and must be purchased separately) External pouches are also available as an accessory.

 

Like all WRANGELL products, our backpacks are made from high-performance laminated fabric. This four-layer fabric is comprised of a highly abrasion resistant outer fabric (nearly 3x as abrasion resistant as 500 denier Cordura!!!) a 'X' patterned ripstop reinforcement grid, a waterproof polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film and finally a white 50 denier backing. The DWR treated outer fabric and the waterproof membrane makes this backpack highly water resistant (waterproof except for stitching), and if a customer desires a waterproof pack, they can seal the seams using a polyurethane sealant. The bright interior of the backpack (due to the white 70 denier backing) makes it easier to find the piece of gear need without fumbling around in a seemingly bottomless pit of darkness!

 

Boasting a generous 7800ci capacity, the Revelation 7800 has the internal volume necessary for multi-week hunts deep into the wilderness but easily compressed down to daypack-sized capacities. The expanding pack collar helps you fit those impossibly large and bulky loads and the pack lid is fully adjustable to match the height of the loaded volume. (You can also remove the pack lid entirely and use it as a small backpack) These features are optimized to allow the user to pack a balanced load with a manageable center of gravity. Another unique feature of the Revelation 7800 is its streamlined shape. Traditional external frame backpack bags have a plethora of external pockets that make a backpack wider and more cumbersome than is practical ((particularly when fighting through dense vegetation and brush). The integrated pockets and slightly narrower profile (17" vs. the traditional 20-24") of the Revelation backpack bag means that you will spend less time fighting hang-ups and bulky loads and more time actually hunting!

 

The WRANGELL Revelation 7800 external frame backpack bag is designed to fit on a "Freighter Frame" style external aluminum tubing backpack frame. This style of backpack frame was originally designed by Jack Abert who founded Camp Trails; an outdoor gear company that modernized camping equipment in the mid-1900s. Jack's frame design was so successful that the design (or variations of it) are replicated by many name brand gear manufacturers such as Alps, Kelty, Mystery Ranch (formerly Dana Designs), and others. From thousands of hours of use and overwhelming feedback from users, we believe that the best "Freighter Frame" and suspension system is produced by Frontier Gear of Alaska. This backpack frame and suspension combo is the #1 choice for Alaskan Big Game guides and hardcore hunters that need a comfortable and highly durable backpack frame for hauling extreme loads with relative comfort. The WRANGELL Revelation 7800 Backpack Bag fits THIS frame and suspension system, however, it can be modified to fit other freighter style backpack frames of your choosing (contact us via email prior to ordering this product for use with other frames to ensure compatibility)

I Purchased the Captains Duffel at the wasilla Sportsman show. I own and operate Mahays Jetboat Adventures out of Talkeetna, AK. I captain on the rivers every day! The Captains duffel was my main boat bag and performed great! I highly recommend it!

The Wrangell Duffel bag is tough as nails! We used the bag as our ATV tool/emergency bag fully loaded with ratchet straps, tow straps, tarp, air pump, rope, tools, extra oil, and few other items. The bag could hold the weight no problem! The detachable straps worked perfectly for securing the bag. Only issue occurred during a prolonged overnight rainstorm when we left the bag in the back of the ATV and moisture got in the bag. The bag is weatherproof but not waterproof, it can definitely withstand a light rain for a bit but not an entire evening of non stop rain. We will continue to utilize this bag for seasons to come as it looks like it’s going to last for years! Material is tough and rugged and there is almost no abrasion or rubs after a long 6 months of heavy use. Would 100% recommend the bag for Alaska adventures minus leaving it out in a rainstorm.

Ive been using the captain's duffels for 4 months now as emergency bags in my commercial aircraft and the durability and ideal size for small bush planes makes this a fantastic addition to keeping the essentials for safe travel in Alaskas backcountry tidy and organize throughout the seasons of a year round air taxi operation. I recommend them to all my clients as the way to pack gear!

I’ve been using the meat sling since 2019 and I have packed out 8 moose with it. The pocket in the front is perfect for a headlamp, knives, and game bags. The fabric makes it easy to clean up. I typically dunk it the river or spray it down with a hose.

I’ve used this bag two hunts so far and I couldn’t be happier. The way the bag compresses empty is great when hunting out of a spike camp. When the bag is full, the compression straps keep the load stable and secure. I own a Kuiu, Stone glacier, and Barney’s bag and nothing matches the durability and functionality of the Wrangell bag.

I got this bag off of the prize table at a local hunting event. The bag is well made and fits quite a bit of stuff. As a pilot I immediately thought of using at as my go to plane bag, loaded with tools, survival equipment and cold weather emergency equipment. Fits perfectly in the back and has no issues carrying the equipment. Had about 45 pounds of gear in it and I feel like it could hold more weight in it. Overall good product, 5 stars for ease of use, Weight and durability.

I purchased this bag for daily use as a gym bag and to throw my junk in for weekend/camping trips. It exceeds my expectations, the amount of little features packed into such a simple bag is amazing. The little clip out bag is great for toiletries at the gym. The fabric and zippet is waterproof so I don't have to worry about a little rainstorm soaking my gear. Last off, how the shoulder strap routes under the bag to support its contents is brilliant and means there will be less stress on the stiching which is what ultimately failed and destroyed my last gym bag. I'm sure I will have this bag will see atleast a solid 10 years of daily use.

I bought one of your packs and used it for the first time this spring guiding a couple brown bear hunts, and then again this August guiding two sheep hunts. I wanted to let you know that I think it is top notch, especially after using it for sheep hunting. I have been a diehard barneys guy forever, basically since I started guiding 20 yrs ago, but your pack is hands down better. Way less "slop and wiggle" with the bag, which is really nice. I also love the two side pouches, one for a spotting scope and the other side for a tripod. I never did like the small side pockets on the barneys. I also like the narrower but taller bag design rather than the super wide design of the Barneys. I did like the material you use as well. The strap system is particularly awesome. I can compact my pack down and tighten it up so much better than my barneys, eliminating wiggle.
One thing I did not like was the lack of a back pocket. Thanks for the great piece of gear. I am a fan!

Makes packing out those big loads way easier secures the meat tight to the frame doesn’t come loose. Way faster than trying to tie or bungie strap your load.
