Kifaru duplex lite or duplex tactical?

[evan711]

Hey guys curious on opinions. I’m looking at getting a woodsman kifaru bag and have been looking at the frame options. I would be day hunting possible overnight and packing some random objects occasionally tree stand,pop up blind,mineral block etc.

Tactical would likely fit your needs better. Few more options to attach the awkward type loads you're talking about.

I got a tactical with a Nomad 2 and Grab It for similar use. A dry bag of spare clothes or camp gear fits between the wings when I need it to. It worked as my daypack and packed moose quarters very well in AK. I do a lot of my hunting with an Exo 3500 but for real awkward loads or meat hauling this set-up is nice. I like that I can put water bottles and emergency gear in the batwings for packing meat and not deal with water bottle pockets or bladders. Packs meat well while having a place for that stuff built in.

I sometimes add a Guide lid for extra gear but mostly leave it off. It's just more straps to mess with a lot of the time and unnecessary.

I went back and forth on them for a while. Had the advantage of being able to try them both on at Kifaru. The tactical fit me better. I’m a slender guy so all of the padding is welcome.

I really like the tactical frame. It’s a bit heavier but it does an awesome job hauling heavier stuff.

I’ve got a duplex tactical with a nomad 2 and grab it 2. I don’t see how the lite could be much more comfortable when hauling my day pack pack weight. And I don’t see how it could be more comfortable when hauling super heavy/awkward loads. 1 pound isn’t going to make me or break me. I think the benefits when loaded outweigh the benefits of being unloaded. YMMV.

Thanks for the input everybody i think it seems the tactical duplex would be my best bet.
