The lite frame weighs almost a half pound more than advertised as well.Pretty sure four days ago when we ordered the 44 mag, the listed weight was 2.85 lbs. Now it’s listed at 3.5 lbs. Pretty disappointing.

Take a half pound less of food or water and quit complaining! Or man up and carry 46 instead of 45.

It definitely read 2.85 pounds. Thats super disappointing. I chose to go this route because of the weight, when what I really needed/wanted was a smaller day pack. But figured if I could get a full size bag for under 3 pounds, I'd go for it. It's not a case of manning up. I already have an equivalent bag, I made the choice to go this route to save weight. Now I'm reading that I spent $700 to weigh the same? I know ounces are expensive, but that's just stupid.
The new weight is almost 25% heavier then the orginal weight. Thats not a small oops.
I expected better from Kifaru, I'm actually a bit pissed off.
The responses you've gotten from most people have absolutely nothing to do with your irritation with Kifaru. However, when offered to have your frame replaced, you refused. But, now act as if you were duped. The man offered to refund your card too concerning this bag. Little surprise seeing how he handled the frame situation. So, pick a choice and go with it. But, the poor me routine in circumstances where you've been offered retribution, goes against your intended purpose with this post.I agree. A lot of these guys act as though they're glad Kifaru can't get their specs right. It's always "man up" and "can't you carry a few more ounces?" That's not the point. It's literally false advertising. I love Kifaru's products, and constantly rave about their designs, quality, and comfort. But now I own a frame AND a bag that are over spec in weight. The weight and price are both incorrect in the "release video." None of this is difficult to avoid, and I've never seen other companies have this problem.
I just thought pointing it out might make a bit more informed decision for someone else. I took flak on here when I mentioned that my Duplex "Lite" frame was 5 oz heavier than claimed weight. All of a sudden, I have basically a pound more pack than I thought I did. Lots of guys go with other brands for a pound or less difference for a given frame/bag combo. Just sayin' it wouldn't hurt to be a bit more diligent with a high end product.
Expecting a company to post accurate information isn't "poor me." Just because my frame was over weight, that means I should EXPECT my bag to be overweight? Nobody said "duped", but it is literally bait and switch. I decided to keep my frame because the design and comfort were superb. Maybe I do the same with the bag. But it certainly doesn't hurt to point out that the specs are off for guys who may have largely made a purchase decision based on weight. What's wrong with being informed?

I have zero issue with you or anyone else in this thread. I've never met or talked to anyone here. I'm just pointing out reality. Have a good day men
Think this on 22" frame would fit as a carry on if it's compressed down a bit? I'd rather have this over the shape charge for the extra room, but worried about it being too big to fly with. I can't find anything else in the market that even compares ; I had a mystery ranch 3DAP, but didn't like the color options screaming" military ". I mean, I am, but I don't want to carry a bag that says as much, I prefer black or the ranger green.
I also have the tarryall in ranger green that I'd like to replace with this if it works out... I'd prefer a bigger main pocket, without the stuff pocket the tarryall has.
