[QUOTE="LaHunter, post: 1375900, member: 54963"] Your buddy got an Icon or an Icon Pro? There is a significant difference. I've had an Icon Pro since about late 2014 (whenever they were first available) and have been happy with it. I train with it loaded to about 70 lbs every summer. I have hauled mule deer out on 3 separate hunts and its done fine for me. Light wt is a relative term. The Kuiu Icon Pro is lighter in wt than some packs at comparable bag volume and has worked very well when loaded, for me. Is it the best, that is up to each individual to answer based on their needs. You can also check out Kifaru, Stone Glacier, Exo, among others, but these seem to get lots of praise. All have their features and benefits. As was mentioned before, comfort under load is going to be dependent on your physical strength, stamina, endurance, etc. along with pack fit and pack quality. [/QUOTE]
