[QUOTE="jimss, post: 1643024, member: 66919"] If it were me I'd pick either Kifaru or Stone Glacier over Kuiu. Kuiu may be ok for lighter loads but from the reviews I found in my research Kuiu packs just aren't designed for hefty, bulky 100+ lb loads. I do an incredible amount of packing heavy loads and it certainly is nice having a stable platform and bags that won't rip seams, straps, etc. I've put my Kifaru through gobs of Alaska, Colo, and Wyo big game trips and it's never let me down. Kifaru also has a lot of bag, pocket and pouch features that you can pretty much customize your pack for day or multi-day trips. You'll hardly find anyone that complains about Kifaru. Their belt and shoulder harness set ups are super comfortable....which is a relief when hauling hefty loads. Anyway, if you are looking for a pack that is decent for day trips Kuiu works good but if you want a pack setup for hauling I would definitely research Kifaru and Stone Glacier. There are some really good reviews and advice on packs on the Rokslide website. [/QUOTE]
