Exo pack vs stone glacier durability

The Kifaru packs allow height adjustment in the load sling as well now.

Like others have said, I think the exo packs are likely the gold standard at this point. I'm still in a Kifaru bikini UL, and it is surely better than the Krux, but based on others' experiences, I'd go with a K4.

K4 are well made backpacks and the company and customer service are undoubtedly the best. For me, however, both SO and Kifaru (Ark) had less slippage, so those are what I use. A lot of the popularity of Exo comes from their responsiveness, their presence on social media, and the fact that they are American made and the company hasn't been bought out by some investment group.
