FYI Kuiu fans...

Did you check the outlet? That's where those prices are.

I know Kuiu has had problems with the first generation frames but I think they are a lot better now. They're still a high end light weight pack, you're right that it's not Rhino gear but I think if looked after it will last a life time. And they ship within a day or two!

They won't, my first frame sheet didn't make it through the year. It's a great pack but not meant for heavy loads.

I just got my pack from the fedex guy. Everything looks really good. The only problem I have with it is on the invoice it says in big red ink "NO RETURNS OR WARRANTY ON THIS PRODUCT" no warranty? Even though it's outlet, it's still kuiu right?

I assumed it was brand new inventory. How can they say no warranty? Is it refurbished? It's obviously discontinued so I understand why they don't want returns. But I'd want warranty on those frames.

 

[Tinbanger]

It's brand new, I looked through there warranty info online and it didn't mention anything about outlet gear not having warranty?

 

[todd kelly]

Call kuiu and find out for certain. I am interested to see if this was just an error or not.

I believe that the carbon fiber frame that comes with those packs are the ones they previously had problems with.

Got mine today, totally stoked. I was under the impression they had issues with the 2012 carbon fiber frame, but who knows I don't really care. I could buy a new frame and still come out cheaper than some other packs lol.

I like the lay out of the bag, its very easy to convert in to the load sling mode, blah, blah, blah.

Did yours say no warranty as well?

 

[JWP58]

Yup. If it fails (as in breaks/snaps/disintegrates in to thin air) I'll still call KUIU and see if they'll work with me...Im not going to worry about it.

Im getting nervous........ i paid full price for the 7200 late last summer. Ive done 3 substantial trips with it. Two of which with 70+ lbs. I had zero problems with the pack. A friend of mine found those outlet packs and still would not buy one because of the frame. I thought he was full of spit until i started reading all of the negatives about the frame.. is everyone concerned because its a thin frame. Or has there been recorded failures. Do I need to worry about having a deer and gear 12 miles in that i cant get out?

Yes you should be worried. The frame breaks are fairly well documented, I broke mine this year with 45-60 pounds of bear meat. I think that it actually cracked on the previous trip out with gear and bear pelt, probably around 100 pounds? Maybe less. It was not fun getting that out, I was only 2 miles from the truck so that helped. Kuiu was quick to replace the frame sheet with zero questions asked, but that won't do you any good 5 miles from the truck

All of their outlet items are final sale, no returns or exchanges. It's in the return/exchange policy section of their website. I would be shocked if they didn't warranty that stuff though. Might have make a call in the am. Had a couple buddies looking at buying those packs.

 

[Aron Snyder]

I asked today....no warranty

 

[Tinbanger]

That's crazy, no warranty? No where on the site does it say that.

 

[goatboy]

Its in thier return policy and on the page when you add it to your cart. Dont buy a product that you suspect will need warranty if it bothers you, warranty is great especially when your 10 miles from camp.

 

[Tinbanger]

I don't see where it says outlet items are not under warranty, I do see it says no returns or exchanges and all sales are final.

 

[goatboy]

Well I guess if all sales final and no returns doesnt cover it then you have an argument.

 

[Where's Bruce?]

And that's why ya don't buy products that are unproven.

 

[todd kelly]

, warranty is great especially when your 10 miles from camp.

You are right, but at least you know when you get back home your going to be covered. If a frame breaks on one of these guys, there out a fair amount of money and starting from scratch again.


The only reason you would not offer warranty on this set up is because you are worried about a bunch of returns for warranty work.

And for how many broken frames I have read about and seen pictures of, no warranty = ouch.

I sure hope these packs hold up for the guys who bought them.
