Yes you have to put orange on the backpack you have to compensate for the orange covered my the pack that you would normally see without it
My pack comes with an orange shell to put over it just for that reason! It is a Badlands pack!

If you have a coat on then the back of your arms and your hat on your head would be visible, that is enough.
The total amount is 400 sq in, which is not all that much at all, your chest is probably more than 400 sq in, 16X25 is 400 sq in.
My understanding of the law is that you have to show 400 inches total in the torso area and in addition an orange hat.
It says nothing about torso (although that is assumed since that is the easiest spot to get 400 sq in), just total amount and visible from all sides.Quote:

Orange camo is not allowed, it was to be written in the regs specifically, unless you have solid hunter orange on that is at minimum 400 sq in and visible from all angles.
That would be incorrect information.Quote:

It could be taken to mean other parts "above the waist" but I don't know anyone who has a large enough head (literally) to get 400 sq" on, even then has to be "unbroken" so no cut outs for your eyes :)
Could rule out arms as it's not "visible form all sides", unless you never put them down :)
Hang on a second here. 400 sq in is 20x20. Most men's chests are easily bigger than that. So you've got your coverage done there. I don't know about most people's backpacks but the orange on my vest's shoulders is far wider than the straps for my backpack. There's no way anyone is going to convince me that you cannot see my shoulders from behind me. Which side of me can you not see the orange anymore?
So long as you can see some blaze orange from back front and both sides on your torso, you're fine (plus your hat).
