Those are all great names and probably lighter. Do they come with tripod or spotting scope pockets? Do they have any daisy chain or pals to add pouches or pockets. How is their compression? Can they compress from a couple days 3000ci down to 1500ci daypack well? Built in bladder pouch, pocket, etc. How does it feel with 30, 50, 100lbs on it.
I reviewed packs for months before last hunting season. Finally settled on the Stone Glacier. Made the right choice for me, nicest lightweight pack I have ever owned. Carries all my gear with ease. And the rifle sling makes it easy to put my rifle on the pack. If you have to have Camouflage the Kifaru are the go to packs.
I never tried one myself. I remember being interested in them. But no , I have no experience with them. Just the exo and cheaper ones. Tried on some stone glaciers, seemed nice but didn't blow me away.
Amen brother!!
I looked at stone glacier and wasn't blown away either.
I can speak about the Kifaru. The simple answer is yes to all of your questions except the last and the answer to the last question is it feels better as weight is added to it. Under a lot of weight is where Kifaru really shines.
My Kifaru 44 mag does have a bladder pouch my ma deuce has a hanger but no pouch. The meat shelves work great but just loading them up internally is a great way to get the weight where you want! Lots of compression straps! The side pockets will easily hold my 85 mm spotter and a tripod. With all the molle straps it's easy to hang pouches with additional storage for stuff you want accessible with out having to root through your pack! Belt pouches are great. They have such a variety of designs of packs you can definitely figure out what you need for your hunting or backpacking trips.
To add to this, Kifaru literally has a pack for all of your needs. Look at them closely, even call them and ask your questions about what you're looking to load out and they will tell you what each pocket fits and recommend the right accessories. They have excellent customer service and knowledge. Everybody that works there are huge hunters and use the gear. I have the Ma Deuce for 5 day plus excursions, the .44 Mag for 3ish day hunts, and the Straight Jacket for a day pack or really do all pack, especially mobile whitetail where I'm carry lots of odd shaped and sized things like my stand and sticks. The accessories I own such as the Guide Lid, Sherman Pocket, Cargo Bag, hip pockets, and water bottle holder work with all of the packs and really add to the working and organization. I could go on for days, but highly recommend you take the plunge! You won't be disappointed and the stuff is will last a lifetime.
