The hip belt, not the shoulder straps, is what carries a full load · review
A 60+10 liter pack with front-panel access to the main compartment, avoiding the need to unpack from the top to reach items at the bottom.
Tatonka builds the Yukon with front-panel access to the main compartment, alongside the usual top-loading opening — a genuine practical advantage over a pure top-loader, since it means reaching something packed near the bottom no longer requires unpacking everything above it first.
The included rain cover is worth noting explicitly: on several competing packs it is sold separately, and its absence is easy to miss when comparing listed prices rather than what actually ships in the box.
