External Frame Packs

Barney's are no doubt a bombproof exo, but for me, I don't find them as comfortable as the shoulder/waist config of a Kifaru pack. I can pack more weight as a greater distance with a Kifaru. That said, I recall a few people have sent Aron their Barneys pack for some Kifaru love.

The waist belt slips, with a PowerPull sewn in you can really crank it down. Perhaps Aron can answer the ability to put on some Kifaru shoulder straps. Barneys has a wide shoulder, which for me digs into the lats.

I am the opposite....would love a Kifaru waistbelt with Barney's shoulder straps!!!

A PowerPull on a Barney's would negate having to mod the straps, because if adjusted right, you should barely feel them.

nope still would dig having the plush Barney's shoulder straps personally

Could not agree more !!!! In fact, i think the shoulder straps are sexy enough to make most folks overlook that crappy belt on the Barneys It sure happened to me...before I went the Kifaru route.

Same here. The belt doesn't slip on me because I have a huge ass. But it digs in and after a while my hip sockets are aching. I've adjusted that thing up and down and all over. It still carries really well, but I know my hips will be feeling it in a little while.
