Kifaru Ultralight frame and Muskeg bag ~ review preview

[les welch]

I'll be testing out the new Muskeg bag (7000) with an Organizer lid on an Ultralight frame. I stopped into Kifaru a couple weeks ago to BS with the gang and see what's new. Stay tuned here for updates and the upcoming review.

This is great to see Les. 7,000cc! That’ll hold the back half of a Gila bull.

Picked mine up today, planning on loading it up and hitting a hill tomorrow. First impression? It's love at first sight.

Posted in another thread...

I have the 26” lite, 26” ultralight and 26” Hunting Duplex along with the new Muskeg bags. I will weigh just the frames by themselves tomorrow.

I will say that I prefer the new frame over the Hunting Duplex in many ways already (mostly design so far). It has some improvements I didn’t even realize the Hunting Duplex needed. We will see how it carries but I expect very well.

The 26” Ultralight frame and smallest Muskeg series bag is coming in damn close to spec of 5 pounds and 1.6 ounces. I’m going to verify my scale is dead on tomorrow but a 5 pound weight shows it 3 ounces over, so that would make it dead on. Worst case it’s 3 ounces heavy.

I’ll get pics of the weight of the UL frame and large bag tomorrow also.

Here’s is the weight of the small bag and 26” UL frame.

Just a quick update (not trying to hijack Les’ thread). So far this new frame has been superior to anything Kifaru has released (Lite and UL) And I own them all. The comfort from 20 to 60 pounds is unmatched and there really is no difference between the two options so far. Soon I will get them loaded up with over 100 pounds and we will see how they do. I have high hopes.

Do the new muskeg bags have an actual sleeve inside for a bladder and a port to run the tube through?

Yep. Internal sleeve and two piece of overlapped elastic on both side for the tube.

Awesome thanks! Can someone give me an idea of the size on these bags? I know they have the ci's listed, but different manufacturers seem to measure differently. I'm looking at the 2800 for a 3-4 day pack. For reference I can do 3-4 days out of a SG solo 3300 and if I run a lid I can use my Exo 2000, but it's tight. How does the 2800 compare size wise?

This is the smallest Muskeg bag fully loaded. I think you want the small. I’m guessing it’s nearly identical to SG 3300 since I have found Kifaru bags to run larger than other companies claims. My woman is 5’ 10” for reference.
