Latitude Ranger 33 — The Pack for Hunters Who Like to Be Prepared
The Ranger 33 was built for the hunter who never leaves anything to chance. All-day sits, late-season layers, extra gear, backup plans — if you're the type who heads into the woods ready for whatever the hunt demands, this is your pack. Thirty-three liters of well-organized, mobile-hunting-focused storage with a compression panel for your sticks and platform, a removable waist belt, internal aluminum stays, and MOLLE compatibility to build out your system exactly the way you want it. This is the pack serious whitetail hunters come back to season after season.
Key Features
Compression Sleeve — Carry Sticks, Platform, and More
The compression panel is purpose-built for mobile saddle hunters. Attach your climbing sticks and platform to the outside of the pack, compress them down tight, and move through the woods without gear shifting or slapping with every step. It also works for late-season bibs, a tripod, or anything else that needs external carry. The compression panel is removable — 6.6 oz — when you want to run a lighter setup.
Removable Waist Belt
The heavy-duty waist belt is secured with a velcro patch and comes off in seconds. Run it during long hikes in to distribute weight and reduce shoulder fatigue. Pull it off in the offseason when you're using the pack for sheds, cameras, or lighter loads. It gives you the versatility to adapt the pack to the task. The waist belt weighs 11.5 oz on its own.
Internal Aluminum Frame Stays
Removable aluminum frame stays give the Ranger 33 a rigid, structured feel when you're carrying heavy loads. Pull them out if you prefer an unstructured fit for lighter sits. The stays add meaningful load support when you're packing in everything you need for a full day or an all-day sit in cold weather.
Hydration Ready
The Ranger 33 has a pass-through for your favorite hydration bladder. Stay hydrated on long walks in without sacrificing pack space for a water bottle setup.
Oversized Low-Noise Zipper Tabs
Large zipper tabs are easy to operate with gloves on and designed to minimize noise during operation. In the stand when a deer is close, the last thing you need is a zipper announcement. Latitude designed these to move quietly.
Strap Keepers
Loose straps flapping against your pack or body create noise and movement. Latitude built in strap keepers to secure loose ends and keep your setup quiet and clean from the parking area to the stand.
Bed Roll Straps
Bottom-mounted bed roll straps let you attach an extra hoodie, jacket, or layer to the outside of the pack for when temps drop mid-sit. As the morning warms up and the base layers come off, they attach right to the pack without taking up space inside.
Side Pockets with Gear Hoist Holes
Side pockets fit a Nalgene or standard water bottle. Each pocket also features riveted holes for running your gear hoist rope — a thoughtful detail that keeps your system organized and your hoist accessible at the base of the tree.
Wallet and Keys Pocket
A dedicated small pocket sized specifically for your wallet, keys, and the things you lose in a larger pocket. When you're in a hurry before first light, knowing exactly where your keys are isn't a small thing.
MOLLE Compatible
MOLLE webbing runs across the pack for attaching Latitude pouches, additional gear, or any MOLLE-compatible accessory. Build out your system with the Operator Pouch, Ranger MOLLE Pouches, Phone Pouch, or Rangefinder Pouch — all sold separately — to dial in exactly the organization you want.
Who It's Built For
The Ranger 33 is for the whitetail hunter — specifically the mobile saddle hunter — who wants a pack that does everything. Long hike-ins with a full load, all-day late-season sits with extra layers, or quick evening hunts with minimal gear — the Ranger 33 adapts. If you're building out a Latitude system and want one pack to anchor it, this is the one. Available in Gray and Ranger Green.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Ranger 33 designed specifically for saddle hunting?
Yes. The Ranger 33 was built from the ground up for mobile whitetail hunters. Features like the compression panel for sticks and platforms, gear hoist holes in the side pockets, MOLLE webbing for Latitude pouches, and the removable waist belt all reflect a pack purpose-built for the saddle hunting application.
Can I use the Ranger 33 for all-day sits in cold weather?
Yes — that's exactly what the 33-liter capacity is for. The Ranger 33 has the space to carry late-season layers, extra food and water, handwarmers, and anything else you need for an all-day sit without leaving anything behind. The bed roll straps also let you attach extra layers to the outside when you warm up mid-sit.
Is the compression panel required to use the pack?
No. The compression panel is removable (6.6 oz) and can be detached when you don't need it — like offseason shed hunting or camera runs. When you're carrying sticks and a platform, it's the right tool for the job.
What MOLLE accessories are compatible with the Ranger 33?
The Ranger 33 is compatible with all Latitude MOLLE pouches — including the Ranger MOLLE Pouch (Small, Large, Vertical), the Phone Pouch, the Rangefinder Pouch, and the Operator Saddle Pouch. All are sold separately.
