AKEK Pack - Arguably The Best New Pack Around - What's Your Thoughts?

[oldillini]

Welcome!

Like the look. Definitely a multitude of compartments. Interested in seeing one in person.

Looking forward to see reviews on this pack!

Looks good. I always feel like I’m compromising on something with the current offerings. EXO has a better laid out bag but SG has a more comfortable frame etc. I’m looking for a new pack and I’m going to sell my SG so this couldn’t be better timing for me

What makes our pack better?

The Alpha 3200 has:
1. Quick release system
2. Removable small pack
3. 2 load shelves
4. Waterproof zippers.

You can find some of these features on various packs in different ways or styles but none that have them all blended into one.

Of course everyone has their preference... and haters will always be haters but we feel this pack fits a niche that is missing in the pack industry!

It took y’all a whole year to find your pack on Alibaba?

Y’all looking for help? It took me about 30 seconds. I could be another one of those American families that you were talking about earlier.

In the spirit of questions, how is you pack different than the 38.5 dollar Alibaba special?

Not just a similar frame/pack is listed on Alibaba, but it’s the exact same as your website.

Can you explain that?

If he can't I bet I can. This is Aclusterfk (the A is pronounced similar to Acorn or Ape).

@fatlander careful, you may get a warning or be reported for....something...

I think its suspect, and bologna. A Regus office, shipping 2/500 from alibaba. Maybe they created the logo, and sure, lifetime warranty is easy with replacement cost on $500+ pack is $60 +shipping. Hell, id just say we offer free replacement lifetime warranty.

Do they (direct quotes) (@AKEK )
We focus on creating the highest quality gear on the market we can possibly make.
We design and test all our product here in our warehouse.
However rest assured that when you purchase AKEK products you help support and feed many US families that are apart of the AKEK team.

Or did you (@AKEK ) just simply pick an alibaba sku, slap your logo, and call it good?

If he can't I bet I can. This is Aclusterfk (the A is pronounced similar to Acorn or Ape).

Now that, is some good stuff.

P.s.:
I hope no one thinks I'm being anything but truthful, obvious and to the point. I have zero intent on being "troll, over aggressive, abusive...." or whatever else a mod pmd me on. :filipoff:

I'm out of this dumpster

UPDATED NOTES BASED ON COMMENTS:

Rokslide Community,

Our intent from the beginning is to be honest and upfront. We have nothing to hide! Do we have our packs assembled and made in China? Yes, we currently do as already mentioned before. This still does not change our Quality, lifetime warranty and great customer service. When you purchase AKEK you still help support US families that are apart of the AKEK team.

Can you buy the same frame or a similar one on China websites? Yes you can likely research and find a similar frame to the AKEK one. Again we already mentioned this is currently being made overseas. This is NOT a low quality frame we are using.

Designed in the USA? Yes we spent nearly a full year of research, modifying and testing this bag before it's release.

Our recommendation ... if you can find a pack in china that comes with 2 shelves, YKK waterproof zippers, a quick release, a LIFETIME WARRANTY, and great customer service than yes even we would recommend you ditch us and take that option. You will not find all that we offer from a foreign china man. The warranty, customer service and a truly unique bag design is worth it! We are sure most of you can agree!

Furthermore, we very much appreciate constructive criticism and of course sincere questions ... THAT is why we joined Rokslide after all We want to make this pack better and better each year!

If you have no desire to test our pack or offer helpful criticism we would ask you not to post here. We want this thread to be reserved for those that truly want to test the pack and offer helpful info to future users.

Sincerely
AKEK

Just my opinion. I only read about 7 of the opening posts. Until it was stated one size pack belt fits all.

Is that a joke? You want $600 for a pack that has a belt that fits a 29” waist as well as a 38” waist.

I like the looks of the pack itself. Just can’t get my mind around a one size fit all pack being priced higher then a pack that has options for fitting.

Good luck. I hope it works out well for you guys. My suggestion would be offer a more custom fit for that price.

Welcome and looking forward to seeing some reviews on this pack.

I think the mods need to consider removing these guys as a rokslide sponsor. Seems like shady business practices.

Look at post 177 and 193.

One screen shot is AKEK’s website showing their frame. The other screen shot is alibaba. It’s the exact same frame and suspension.

Search “carbon fiber hunting backpack” on alibaba. It’s the 4th result.

This product is no longer available.

@AKEK still hasn’t cleared up why the exact frame they claimed to have designed and is displayed on their website can be had on alibaba for $38.50

I just got the tag from @realunlucky on here so I just tried to get caught up. I didn’t read all the pages but from what I understand someone found their pack on a Chinese website? Is that the issue?

AKEK claimed to have “the best new hunting pack around.” Then solicited questions.

They said their pack system was designed stateside then shipped it across the pond for production.

The exact frame with suspension and very similar bags have been found on Alibaba. The exact frame is pictured in both places. Another company with the exact same frame and similar bags was dug up and found to be a scam.

AKEK hasn’t answered the questions about how all that came to be.

So you didn’t design the frame and bag? Is that correct? It sounds like you found a KUIU knock off China Pack and added to it. Is that what you are selling?

Yep.

There are those that think you have to reinvent the wheel. There are those that try to improve the wheel.

The reinventers are taking offense to a company’s business model because they want made in America, proprietary pack design, and a pricing model that is closer to thirty bucks.
