I haven't heard of any except for military. I made an order 8 days ago and it still hasn't shipped, and that's with usps priority. Is this typical with Kifaru?
Thanks for the great write up.
Have you had a chance to put the SG chilkoot bag to the test any more? I haven't heard of anyone testing the bag much on any hunts in wet conditions yet. Trying to decide between the chilkoot and the slick..
cheers
Thanks for your feedback. I think the bag would do great in dry climates and perhaps even snow, but it's sounding like it'd be just like any other down bag in wet environments. I talked to a guide in AK who had a similar experience with the chilkoot -- miserable, wet & cold. I think i'll be...
10-4. I really like the Tatra top as well, considering the Trappers and stumbled upon these Kalixfors. The straight fit last sure looks intriguing for more of an open toe box.

I've really wanted to try one of these chilkoot bags for hunting AK, but I'm afraid to go away from a trusty synthetic. Would love to hear from someone that was able to put the bag to the test like OP says soaking wet and know how it performs.
Go out and drive every model you might have interest in. The majority of half tons do just fine on forest service roads and areas you might be exploring. They'll take you 90% of the places a mid-size truck will. I say purchase for what you'll use the vehicle for 80% of the time, not 20. Good...
I read a few folks on here saying the waterproofing did not work well and they ended up sending them back. I was hopeful after trying them on in the store recently, but not finding any positive reviews.
