Kifaru Gnargali VS Hoodlum

[Southpaw5280]

Has anyone ran both of these packs? I’m trying to decide between the two.

Definitely two different setups. Gnargali is for the minimalist that likes a top loading bag and no sewn in pockets. it is our lightest bag option for multi days trips. The gnargali is 5090 cubic inches. The hoodlum is a bigger bag at 6300 cubic inches. The hoodlum has 2 access zips into the bag and zippered side pockets on both sides for spotting scope and tripod. it really comes to personal preference. you like simple, go with the gnargali. you want a little more organization, go with the Hoodlum.

I found a new gnargali/Gen 2 bottle pouch and Kifaru hip quiver for 300$ total or a new Hoodlum for 275$.

For the complete package the 300$ is well worth it

I never ran the hoodlum but I have the gnargali and its and awesome pack. I could easily fit enough gear for 5-7 days and I'm not a big fan of zippers. As long as your not a zipper guy I think you'll love it
