Interesting test on a frame

[Matt Cashell]

I like that video/test.

I also like the price point.

X2, I am going to give it a few months and see how it preforms. Might have to get one.

Just curious as I watched the video but fast-forwarded through most of it, but what price point are they coming in at?

 

[weaver]

$350 I believe.

The ultra frame is $230 1800 bag is $70 3000 bag is $90 and 6000 bag is $120

I like it. Looks like it's going to be a good pack.

I don't need a new pack, but I want one.

I for one hope the four letter k word puts out a good pack. Nothing wrong with a little competition even if the companies don't like eachother

it seems to me that the only test they did that was not a slow controlled flex over a long area, cracked the frame.

Agree... but I think that would break my bikini. And the 160D would get ripped up more than the 500D if they tossed em both of a cliff. These are stupid but cool to watch tests.

I would like to see them support the frame horizontally then hang weights from the upper stays and see how much flex/weight they hold up to. It's a fine like between flexibility and rigidity. Pretty sure my bikini would've snapped in that test!!

Yep! Except on the actual stays instead of frame body but that's still impressive! Good for Kuiu....

Judging by the date of those pictures posted (3/12/2014). Jason has ran over the frame with the tundra already along with other test so I am pretty sure he has done his due diligence on this frame. All this hype is making me want to try this pack even though I am completely satisfied and then some with my current pack.

Ya, there's no way Jason would have done that vid without running over a few frames first. I like how surprised he acts when it doesn't break lol

The Kuiu cliff test video is up now

Link to the Ultra cliff toss video. When I get one I will never carry it downhill. Bombs away!

The cliff test impressed me. I can't believe that bag held up as well as it did. I was waiting for a yard sale the whole time, especially when I saw how violent it got.

I'm just a newbie that's researching gear for my first elk hunt. Drama aside, I really don't know if I can find any fault in this pack. I mean...do I really need to spend twice the money on a pack that will get used 7-10 days a year ? Probably be once every two years if I'm lucky.

I would have preferred not to have seen the pack rip like it did but now I'm just being picky. That was a heck of a fall!

I've gotta say, impressed. That was not what I was expecting. Very very impressive Kuiu.

This bag is tailored to guys like you. If you don't plan on using this bag 60 days a year every year, plus the 100 days you load it up and train. This bag is perfect, performance and price wise I would imagine for someone in your situation

Believe it or not the winners out of all this is everyone, kuiu, rokslide, and the consumer. Kuiu is going to sell even more than anticipated. Rokslide has seen a ton more traffic it appears. I have probably logged on 200 times since yesterday night. Consumers are more informed to make better educated purchases.

 

[Shrek]

Only four years to get it right ! ? Why were they afraid to let Rokslide test it ?

I think it has been stated, the pack test is not why they pulled there sponsorship.
