The J104 is a refined version of our original Just One design.  Each year, we look for small details to improve upon, in a continuous quest to make our products better.  We've now added larger zippers, high-visibility interiors (no more groping for a black flashlight in a black compartment), plus deeper padding, scabbard drainage and cleanout access, larger hydration compartments, and elastic "keeper straps" -- bands on the compression straps to keep things tidy. 

Otherwise, as many of our customers have requested from us, we haven't changed a good thing.  The J104 is still the same terrific all-around pack; it's suspension is designed to move with your body, making it comfortable to wear as a daypack, and the pack is supremely capable and comfortable under a heavy load.  Try one, and see why there's a growing movement afoot in the hunting community that's saying that the Just One is the best hunting pack ever built.

People are really impressed when they see how our Just One can grow into a terrific meat pack.  The logic is simple:  the pack is made to fit right behind your torso for active hunting.  It's very compact and doesn't protrude far from your body, so it doesn't get in your way.  Then, when you have game down, open the pack up and start hauling meat.  Our tough, soft-finish camo packs have an exclusive ventilated mesh-fronted meat compartment, so your meat will be able to cool while you pack it. 

But we like to show our customers that the pack is even more versatile than the daypack to meat pack scenario shows.  Our Zip-in Panel and our Spike Camp Duffel give the pack utility beyond hauling meat; they make it into a great all-around backpack.  Look at the way that it can grow from a 2900 cubic inch daypack into a 7900-plus cubic inch freight hauler, by using our specially designed Spike Camp Duffel:

     2900 c.i. -------------------------------------------  5425 c.i. ------ 7900 c.i.*

Daypack....Bow Pack.....Rifle Pack....Expanding.... Meat Pack....Freight Pack.

   *To achieve the full capacity of the Just One, attach a Spike Camp Duffel externally.       Spike Camp Duffels, available in two models and several colors, are sold separately.

The J104 weighs  6 lbs. 14 oz.  It's very comfortable as a daypack, and as shown by the photos at the top of the page, is capable -- and still comfortable -- while hauling very heavy loads.  The volume is variable, from about 2900 cubic inches to a little over 5400 cubic inches, then to about 7900 cubic inches when used with the Spike Camp Duffel.  Choose the Super Spike Duffel, and you can go all the way to 8300 c.i.

Quiet!  ...We're getting some terrific feedback about our products, and have a growing number of "true believers" out there who are enthusiastically telling all of their buddies about what great packs we've got.  The story typically goes, "I gave Jerry my Just One to try, and he liked it so much that he wouldn't give it back for three days."  One reason they love it is because of its comfort.  And of course, it's pretty hard to beat the kinds of innovations that we've incorporated in our designs.  But a key feature that's difficult to describe but is extremely important in a hunting pack is that it's quiet.  It rides your back like it's attached to you, and doesn't swing around, which is one of the things that makes typical packs noisy.  In addition to that, it's configured in a way that minimizes parts rubbing on one another.  So, when you're walking through a still forest, all you're going to hear is... silence.  We think you'll like what you don't hear.

Combine the Just One with our ButtBucket and Ripcord Bowtether kit as shown here, and you've got a great bowhunter's pack!

For a firmer pack with adjustable torso length, try the J107:

A note about the compression  straps and side loops on the Just One - type packs:

[Photos below show a J107, but straps on J104 are the same].

Secondly, as the packs have evolved, we've added small webbing loops to the main panel of the pack, at the forward side of the scabbard layer, as shown in the photo at left.  These allow you to compress the scabbard layer if you choose to do so.  However, if your particular rig works better with the scabbard layer un-compressed (for example, to allow your rifle to slide in and out more easily), then just bypass the loops, and go directly around the pack.

The straps are long enough to go around a full Super Spike Duffel that's mounted to the outside of your pack.  If you find that you don't have enough length with the compression straps routed through the webbing loops, then again you will want to bypass the loops, and go directly around the pack, as shown at lower right.
