I've been lurking around rokslide for awhile. I recall Arron Snyder testing out a badlands ox frame with like 100 pounds of weight well over a decade ago. I'm sure his experience drove him to prototype the first kifaru packs. Same goes for Kurt and Steve. Those guys were respected for their...
The situation sort of sucks. On one hand I have a relatively good paying job so if less people can afford tags then I can go every year as a nonresident. Inflation is very real in the tag world too so i can't blame a state like Montana raising prices. If you have double the people applying as...
So I got the jacket and hoody today.
The jacket is noticeably heavier than the hoody. I’m not saying they claim either to be a brush buster but neither face fabric is what I would consider durable.
The insulation is very comfortable and I’m interested in trying to sweat on it. I would think...
One thing I’ve learned about rokslide and product launches.
Companies should just make 1 prototype pack and post specs then everyone can shit talk it not ever having seen it and engineer it through 1 image. Lol
I remember when badlands was basically one of the only good hunting packs on the...
A good bit of tags get returned. Peppe have to apply for them to get limited areas and many of those folks don’t draw. Then I think there is a decent sized crowd that gets tags then flakes out because cost and life.
I think less people will apply too as they raised the costs. 1100 is one thing...
usually in June a believe. then they random gernate a list and it goes spot by spot until no tags left. i got mine in the middle of rifle at spot 776. if its for archery and they arent top 300 names then good luck.
They you top notch materials and can afford to do so since they are such a huge company.
Not as good as sitka gear, but better than first lites whitetail stuff.
i heard there is a updated jetstream coming in july.
if i had to guess a new heavy weight kevin with WS
a new active insulation
new jacket replacing the stormfront
and hip vent pants but its unlikely because the timerlines and mountain pants aren't on sale.
i think even kuiu makes theirs frames in the usa. just maybe see if you cant get investors to help you buy more inventory. I'm sure it doesn't help with extremely high prices wage/ material wise.
one positive i see in you systems is it comes with accessories the other places charge more for.
negatives is i don't see anything better than what's already available. I want a initial ascent to test but resell value sucks for a test pack. and its more expensive than the known best.
