Same here. According to UPS, mine will be at home when I get off work!
I know everyone gets tired of my JX3 nonsense.
But I’ve been using the versa pack setup now for two seasons, and a prototype of it the season prior.
It really is a great setup.
I sold my pop up, kifaru frame and bags, and any other packs I had.
I now have an exo shoulder harness on my pacseat, hangon stand, hybrid, and exo K3. I have an exo belt on the hybrid, the K3, and hangon, and am working on getting it mounted to pacseat(may just be easier to strap pacseat to the frame for any long walks).
I then use the versa pack for any actual gear storage that’s needed, with all of those platforms.
The whole kit stores incredibly well in offseason, there’s lots of crossover and repeatability in each setup.
I see all these 150-300.00 small pack setups, and they just don’t seem to offer the range of performance that having separate components can. And if I only had short walks, no need to ever frame anything, and didn’t use the hybrid, I’d just buy a 20.00 Walmart pack. It accomplishes the same thing as any of these small packs, without the price tag.
It took a season for me to really appreciate the versa pack setup. But it is perfect for all types of hunting I do - from elk day trips on the K3 frame(I’d use the standard exo bag for backcountry), to all my hunts with the hybrid, all the way to strapping one pouch to my belt for scouting. It’s just money. And quiet. And a good value considering the range of use.
JX3 Versa Pack System
Hunters have specific needs—carrying and accessing certain types of gear including binoculars, rangefinder, calls, flashlight, a smart phone; quietness of material; the ability to transform from a backpack to a meat hauler. When it's hunting season, the call of the wild demands a hunting...

I got mine yesterday. So far so good…. I loaded it down with all of my gear I usually carry and it handled it well. I packed all 4 beast stick minis (I usually only run 2 or 3 though) and the predator XL fits good in the platform slot. I packed the sticks horizontal underneath the pack, but running two on both side vertically would be really comfortable as well. It rides high which I like and has pockets all over the bag. The molle on the front is nice and the fabric is nice and quiet. The front pouch that removes is also really nice. I’m coming from a kuiu venture 1800 and just messing around with the escape pack for 20 minutes I can pack my system a lot better than with the venture. So we will see how it handles through the season but nothing but good things so far.
I just posted about mine with photos. Separate thread.
Do you have a thread on this or would you be willing to start one? I’m looking to be more versatile when it comes to packs and belt setups.
Mine arrived while I was gone yesterday. I opened it up, threw it in my hunting gear cabinet. Long story longer - Dad's in the hospital and my schedule is screwed. As soon as I get time, I'll get it all sorted out.
I run a similar set up of HPG and FHF gear.
Mine will arrive in a couple days
