I’m of a smaller frame like OP, at 5’8” 155lbs, so maybe a smaller frame backpack would fit me better? What’s your experience with EXO vs KUIU fit for smaller body frames?

Definitely a very informative review. I was pretty set on getting Kifaru or EXO before, now I’m considering KUIU again. However this is the first time i heard about slipping problems on Kifaru and EXO. Is it one off problem or shared experience for many?

I like to say a bit organized, so maybe the reckoning could be a better fit for me haha. The Dall looks way too big for the time being, but maybe I can try it in the future. Thanks again for your input

Yeah that’s what I thought too. But I think all the packs share the same problem SG, EXO and Kifaru, so there’s really nothing to complain about. Thanks a bunch again for your input!

Thanks for the great review. You covered most of the points I was looking for. Originally, I wasn’t sure how likely I was going to pack out meat as I’m still very new to hunting, so I wanted to go with something basic like the F1 to start out. But I still remember the pain from 5 day hiking...
Great input. I’ve never even laid my hands on one, so I have no way of comparing at all. Which pack are you using for day hunting + occasional 3-5 day hunts?

That actually looks really good! I went online and watched some of the reckoning videos and it looks more and more compelling now.
One follow up question, say you have the Pack cinched down for day hunting, but needs to detach from the frame to pack meat. Does your equipment get disorganized in...
Which Kifaru frame are you using? I’m having trouble finding a good one that can be slimmed down to act as a day pack, but expandable to potentially do 3-5 day trips

Why do you not like the Kuiu frame? I thought there were a lot of improvements on the 2019 suspension that made it more viable?

Thank you everyone for the great input. It seems the consensus is that the mainframe does but carry weight well…which is kind of ironic as it was built to carry weight. I’m going to look into EXO and SG as alternatives

I’ve heard so much positive reviews about this frame + batwings that I’m on the verge of pulling the trigger. But for due diligence, I’d love to hear some opinions on its disadvantages when compared with EXO 1800, SG Approach or a Kuiu 1800?
