Why no Blaze Orange Backpacks ?

[fasteddie]

I have been thinking about this lately with a few folks having close calls . Why doesn't some company make Blaze Orange Back Packs ? They could be a life saver . The deer don't recognize the orange at all . It seems funny to wear Blaze Orange jacket during gun season and have a camo back pack on .

Great question........

There are some out there but mostly on line and I've seen a few at the outdoor shows.

I have modified it some but this is what I wear.

Great idea but you could easily buy some blaze orange material off ebay or Amazon  for cheep and attach it  to any backpack just as easily.

Lots of waterproof cover options....

Badlands, cabelas brand, gregory,mystery ranch, camelback........

I have a cheap mesh blaze orange vest. The kind you buy at Walmart for $4 when you forget yours. I bring at least one, sometimes two extra orange vests. The mesh one can be wrapped around the backpack and tied to it. There, a $4 non permanent solution. 

 

Also, I read a super in-depth article a few years ago from UGA about deer eye sight. Apparently deer may be able to see some color range. The blue-green range may be viewable to them. The red spectrum would appear as grey. So while they don’t “see” orange they potentially see a giant grey spot in an otherwise greenish blue world. I used to think camo was worthless but I think it might have some use.

Many companies offer blaze orange packs. Have for years.

Thanks for the responses . I have never seen any Blaze Orange backpacks . I did see the cover for a backpack and figured it would be a pain in the butt to have to remove each time you wanted something out of the back pack .

Used one for years made by Rocky, got the idea when a friend had one .

If your looking for a cheap one check runnings they have an orange/camo one for $25 it looked nice and I might pick one up myself.
