The Initial Ascent Pannier Load Carrier Accessory is the most advanced and versatile load carrier available on the market. It allows hunters to securely carry their meat between the frame and main bag during packouts. With 8 compression straps (3 on each side, 2 from the top), the meat can be easily secured to the frame, and an additional 4 lid straps ensure that even the heaviest loads are locked in. The carrier has a carrying capacity of 2500 cubic inches, and its pockets include an oversized 400 cubic inch pocket and a lid storage of 450 cubic inches, providing 850 total cubic inches of storage in day mode. This does not include the amount it can secure between the pannier and frame, which is at least 2500 cubic inches. Two ¾" compression straps on the outside of "The Pannier" can be used to secure weapons or any other items that need to be carried outside of the large pocket.

"Must have the meat shelf for carrying meat"
"Highly adaptable. I like that the load pannier has a stretch pocket for a small amount of gear for day hunts or quick trips, very secure for packing meat with all the cinch points, it is also is serving as a workout bag right now before season. Let’s be honest this should come standard on a hunting pack at their price point so shame on IA for not building it into the frame like SG. I also wish it would cinch up tight against the frame when it’s empty. Overall it’s a really solid piece of kit."
"A must have if using an initial ascent pack. Have to have it."
"a must have"
"Excellent addition to an already awesome pack."
"Haven’t had a chance to pack meat with it yet but played around with some sand bags and love the way it holds them high and tight to frame. Prefer this to just strapping to frame."
"If you get an initial ascent pack you definitely should get the pannier system. I keep my kill kit and small tarp in it all the time and holds weight well."
"Can’t wait to put this to the test this Fall!"
"Nice addition to my 5K pack. I will use this for day hunts and training."
"It pairs very well with my 8k pack. Very impressed. I’m looking forward to taking it on an actual hunt!"
