[QUOTE="mtnwrunner, post: 949894, member: 17701"] Okay, first off, I have never put on a KUIU pack---that will be my disclaimer. Now, I'll probably ruffle some feathers here but others (I know personally) have had problems with the KUIU packs--not to mention various design changes over the last several years. I think someone else mentioned it but buying a pack on line is kind of like shoes---you'll never know until you actually try it on. So all one can do is spend some time researching what others think and you'll have to draw your own conclusions. I urge you to check out rokslide.com as that site is dedicated to backcountry hunting and there is a gazillion years of experience on that site. Randy P.S.---I have had: Eberlestock, mystery ranch, dana design, Gregory, sierra designs, black creeks, kelty, crooked horn, rocky mountain, coleman peak 1, cabelas, horn hunter, mountainsmith, osprey, ula, nimrod and I'm sure a few others that I have forgot. These are what I've used in about 45 years of hunting the backcountry. NONE of the above packs carries and hunts like a Kifaru or a Stone Glacier. This of course, is just my opinion and what works for me. [/QUOTE]
