For a straight factory pack, I would go for a Kifaru Duplex frame and pack. They are bombproof. They are usually available time to time here, used and in good shape. EXO K4 is probably a little lighter, and just as strong. They are hard to find used because people get them and keep them.
Both are excellent heavy weight haulers, relatively light, and pretty good compressed down to a daypack arrangement.
I’ll have to check out the Duplex. I haven’t seen any of those yet. Thanks.For a straight factory pack, I would go for a Kifaru Duplex frame and pack. They are bombproof.
