[QUOTE="Deleted member 107666, post: 1653192"] Edit...Whoops...I replied to the wrong Kifaru post, mean to quote the one above yours regarding the Kifaru being up to the taste of the extra miles of wear/tear. I'll second the Kifaru quality/comfort, after switching from a KUIU Icon Pro. Night and day. The Kifaru tactical frame loads up 70lbs like a champ, the KUIU creaked and strained and was pretty uncomfortable for me at that same weight. NOT a knock on KUIU, it is an excellent pack for the weight. But going that lightweight does seem to effect performance/comfort. The Kifaru is certainly heavier, but everything is a tradeoff. I settled on using a 50lb bag of sidewalk salt...and then found a bunch of 10lb bags at Home Depot to supplement it. Just drop the entire bag right into the Kifaru bag, no need to go into load hauling mode like I had to with the KUIU. And when the salt bags start to wear a whole (only had one give out since I started this thread), i just dump it into the big plastic bin i keep my salt in for the driveway. [/QUOTE]
