I don't need their big decker frames as I don't big game hunt, but again, I do carry more gear than normal, and having a nice system to strap on fly poles, nets, and a bear canister with room to spare is really nice looking.
Question is, a lot of their bags seem to have reviews dating back over 4 years ago. Does HPG release newer versions/types every few years and should I wait? Or do they not really do new release that much.
