Has anybody had the chance to put their hands on the new Akek Striker 2100 pack? Took a look at it during the expo, and will be giving one a try soon to see how it holds up.

Curious to see how it compares to the climax

I've been eyeing these packs for awhile.

 

[Jared Bloomgren]

Liking it thus far. Seems pretty well thought out and put together. More to follow!

Glad you are liking it so far! I can't even begin to tell you how much thought went into every square inch of this pack!

It carries a turkey just fine too!

I just ordered the Striker, Should be here in a few days.

I just got an @AKEK 3200. I've got to say, for what they've included it's an incredible package for the price. Seems comfortable so far, I'll keep everyone updated.

I was told the 3200 does not have the new suspension that the 2100 and the 5k have

So far I'm really liking it, I've done a lot of rucking and hiking it it. But no meat yet - so tdb there!

For the price - it's a tough pack to beat I'd think.

Review of the Striker 2100 is about done. Had a chance to really put it through the paces from turkey to pronghorn to mule deer hunts. More to follow.

Looks nice but pretty heavy for its volume.

Jared's review of the Akek Striker 2100 is live on our homepage. I think it's safe to say he filled this pack to the max on a couple of his trips this year.

Akek are missing out on sales by not freighting internationally. I tried to order the Striker 2100 but it was a no go. There wouldn't be a better proving ground for it than hunting in NZ. Shame.

Just received my new Striker 2100 Monday. Just messing with it in the house. Seems extremely well made. Awesome organization. ALL the extra that are included is OUTSTANDING! A tad on the heavy side. HOWEVER, comfort level hides the weight. This pack is EXTREMELY comfortable. Hoping to load up 50 lb and go for a hike this weekend.

I did order with the Large belt. Which they just swapped in the shop, no charge. As they should. No other Pack company charges you to buy a correct belt size. I had complained about this on a few forums and I believe that found their attention.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE BELT SIZING. IF YOU ARE OVER A 38" WAIST. ORDER THE LARGE! Not many pack companies tell the truth as far as belt sizing. Just because the belt includes 60" of webbing. DOES NOT MEAN IT FITS 28-56" WAISTS!!
