Kifaru Packs

Post by bjones1187 »

Does anyone have any opinions on the Kifaru ZXR? I've got an EMR but it seems a little too much at times and have been considering grabbing a smaller pack for use. I've checked out the Arcteryx packs as well. In price comparison the Arteryx packs seem like a good deal but I'm partial to Kifaru.Image

I own a CB Zulu with XTL top and can't comment on any other models. It can carry all the weight that I would want to ruck. Ask the guys at the Kifaru Forums since most of them own two or three different ones.

Had a Zulu but could never get comfortable under it. I'm a skinny guy so opinions may vary.

I think they've fixed the problem of making their straps and lashings so long. But I'll confirm to be safe.
