    KIFARU ARK FRAME review

    I'm not sure. It is actually gouges and pieces missing and while I don't much about carbon just looks like blow out spots from when they cut the tab holes or something. Outside of those nicks I couldn't be happier. About 20 miles with it and it gets more comfortable after each hike. Honestly...

    Yeah I mean with them saying it's not structural and just part of the process I will just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get worse and keep the email just in case. Overall really happy with the frame so far. I know I always look to forums for reviews so wanted to do my part and...

    I ordered 5 minutes after the frame went live and it was delivered today. This is my first kifaru frame and I'm pretty impressed! I went with 25in and medium belt and it's fits pretty well. I'm a 38 waist and a 36/38 in pants at 6'3 255. I do wonder if a large belt would fit better but fits way...
