Born primitive pack

[92xj]

What kind internal thoughts are folks having about the upcoming release of a born primitive pack?
Do you have enough faith and confidence in Aron to produce something new/different that will compete?
Anyone seen any prototype pictures or any spec info?

Well it sounds like a co-managed design between two of the best active pack designers around. Doubtful it will be Berry compliment but could be.

I think there is a lot of motivation to make something good. Who knows what the end product will look like but I’d bet on Aaron of this one.

They most certainly will bring a solid offering.

I'm interested in what innovations set it apart enough that they would patent them.

I hope they don’t disappoint.
With initial ascent now manufacturing overseas, kifaru well on their way, and stone becoming pretty stagnant. it seems exo is the only made in USA pack manufacturer that is still innovating, Though their pack selection could be broadened.
I’d like to see the OG kifaru wide selection of pack styles, sizes and colors brought back.
I’ll settle for a pack that functions well under load and isn’t made in Taiwan.

Personally I think the wide selection was their downfall. Post Patrick it seemed like they tried to come out with a new pack every month.

Where was it released that they are coming out with a pack?

That was probably the biggest reason I never bought a Kifaru pack. Multitudes of options for the frame and main bag, then adding pockets, pouches, and miscellaneous doodads...

I love the simplicity of Exo's offerings.

I'm sure whatever BP comes out with will be a cool, very functional pack but I doubt they gain much market share.

Also, who cares if it's Berry compliant? I would rather have the best product than know where the buckles were molded.

I’m more after peak Patrick days. Good amount of selection and modularity without a new pack every month

It’s an acquired taste, some guys are more particular about their pack set ups than others. I prefer the modularity. I had multiple frames and bags for different styles of hunting.
I have an exo now and I’m not a huge fan of their pocket layout. And since that’s the only layout they have I’m kind of screwed.
That said they have the best fit and finish in the market and a ton of guys love em.

I don't get the hype over every new pack that hits the market these days. Same with the never ending churn of bag designs... Show me a pack that makes 10lbs turn into ounces and I'll call it innovative. But at this point, we're frothing over the last 2-3% in optimization. Been using a Kifaru Duplex frame and Reckoning pack for 9-10 years now and it still works the same as ever.
