My Kuiu 6000 pro is 2 years old and it is completely falling apart at the seems its is complete junk, very disappointed in there products. My buddy has an old school one and it’s still in great condition and the material feels super tough compared to this new junk. I do not recommend Kuiu to anyone anyways I put it up for sale and ordered an Exo K4 5000 and can’t wait to use it

I left them years ago after mine fell apart. IF youre going to spend money then do it with Kifaru, SG or Exo.
 
Their none frame packs are great. I bought my daughter a framed when they had clearance on Women pro’s packs. I think fabric might be an issue like the OP. Almost like it was a bad run, seems brittle. Way too early to tell though. When she is done growing se gets a EXO though
 
I just wish they'd start putting torso length adjustment on their smaller/day packs. I like their designs but I'm not paying hundreds of dollars for something that fits 10% of the population perfectly and everyone else "okay".

It isn't complicated to throw some velcro on the backpanel or a ladder and yoke like eberlestock does.
 
I’ve used a Kuiui 6000 for a few years and it has served me well but is showing signs of wear now. Gonna start looking for a replacement. What does everyone recommend for a long torso?

The one I liked most so far is Exo K4, but different packs seem to fit different back shapes better/worse. In general I'd recommend getting a pack with torso length adjustment for the shoulder straps/yoke, whichever one you go with. That way you can fine tune it no matter how long your torso is.
