Good luck. I had my torn meniscus. Had surgery. It solved the meniscus problem but put me bone on bone. About 3 months later I did one backpack elk hunt that way. Got an injection beforehand. The pain was bad, but tolerable. But even with compression, my leg swelled terribly. Wouldn't do...
1. In what ways was the highly flexible frame a benefit? A liability? What recommendations would you make to improve the frame other than the height?
2. We saw pictures that Forloh posted of the frame bending backwards. Was that fixed in the current setup?
3. Was the fabric noisy? Highly...
This is just my opinion, obviously. My goal is wanting a fuller review isn't to beat up on Forloh. But being a bit of a pack junkie, I like to dive into the nuts and bolts. For example, the review showed a picture of the flex on the frame but barely touched on the frame except for a...
Go check out Jootti in downtown Bentonville. They carry Kifaru, SG, and MR packs. They should be able to get you measured and you'll be able to try some top-end gear on in-person.
Thanks for the summary review. I would have appreciated a full review. I get the Forloh is a sponsor, but I also think what makes this site great is that there is just honest feedback, without trying to fit marketing narratives. I think the site is diminished when full reviews are given only...
I'm interested how these videos turned out? By the date on your post, this would have happened almost two weeks ago. I'm interested both in how this fits different sized people, and how it fits those people with 80-100 lbs. Hoping the frame isn't bent backwards as it was in your prototype...
Very interesting. First impressions are pretty good for me. Love the size and layout of the bag. I'd love to see how it feels and performs under weight. That is where we are going to find out all we need to know about the frame, hipbelt, and harness. If I was taking a sight-unseen gamble -...
One alive and one dead. It is debatable if I was hunting these or not. What I do know is I was not happy to find them. The dead one was the first day in our new house. The live one a few weeks later. Brown Recluse spiders.
