Kifaru Crater & Cavern review preview, by Tony Trietch and Jordan Budd

[Tony Trietch]

Hey Rokslide!


Just a heads up that Jordan and myself will be reviewing the new packs that Kifaru just released; the Crater and the Cavern.
As soon as we get them, we will get to work.

Check out the packs and tell us what you think.

Cavern (6,500ci / 85L Bag only) – Kifaru Intl. Online Store

Crater (8,000ci / 131L Bag only) – Kifaru Intl. Online Store


If you have any specific questions that you want addressed, post them up!

Edit:

Tony's Kifaru Cavern Review is complete.
Jordan's Kifaru Crater Review is complete.

Really curious to see how it rides heavy with the height it boasts. Just wondering if it sways more than normal.

Jordan I'd really love to see the cavern in day pack mode where just the essentials are packed in it along with a big spotter and tripod and maybe the rifle or bow still in the center. Curious how everything balances out with pocket on one side. Really like the looks of this pack for a do it all pack.

8000 ci if only.... No way I could fill that and still pack it up the mountain.

My plan is to leave a bit or room going up so I can fill it before heading back down.

Size. The Cavern is smaller at around 5000 ci and the Crater is gigantic at 8000 ci. Layouts are the same.

I believe the Crater is 4 ounces more than the Cavern

Interested in this review on the crater. I need a big bag.

 

[Jordan Budd]

Talked with Frank the other day and sounded like it won't be too long until we get the bags.

Same here, I am ready to get to it!

I got my bag in last week. Looks awesome. Now I just need to decide on a frame to buy. Not sure if i can wait until the new one is announced

 

[Tony Trietch]

Got an email with tracking for my pack today. Makes me want to get some spring tags!

Crater in day pack mode chasing sheep. Collapses and works a lot better as a day pack than I expected. Better than my AMR did for me anyways.
