[QUOTE="dah605, post: 1358024, member: 63391"] I have a Kifaru (tactical frame+Reckoning pack) and a Kuiu Ultra 6000 (1st gen). The Kuiu is the squeakiest thing I've even heard. The slightest movement results in noise. The frame flexes a lot being so thin and it does not carry weight nearly as well as the Kifaru. I bought the Kifaru because of the weight carrying capabilities. When I was prepping for my trek out west, I was hiking with sandbags in the pack... 40lbs in the Kuiu was painful on the shoulders even with the load lifters kicked in. 40lbs in the Kifaru was unnoticeable in comparison. I had to bump to 60lbs feel like I was working out. Full disclosure... losing 30lbs of my own weight helps. I went with the tactical frame so it wouldn't flex with the sandbags and carrying a tree stand. There are a LOT of accessories for the Kifaru--pockets, holster, lids, etc. The other pack I considered was the EXO. Better price and all the reports I've read are that it is almost as good at carrying weight as the Kifaru. [/QUOTE]
