Kifaru in the classifieds

[Idaho Brad]

In 2016 when I joined RS, Kifaru items were gone almost as fast as they were listed. Fast forward to current times and almost every reply on a Kifaru item is a bump or TTT. What’s folks’ thoughts on why this is? I have my theories, but curious as to what everyone else thinks.

Kifaru sleeping bags and shelters have been surpassed in weight with the same durability.. Except in my opinion the Sawtooth is the best 1-2 man hot tent available and absolutely bomb proof.. Take the Supertarp.. Its smaller and heavier and requires like 24 stakes to be a hot tent, compared to the Argarli 2 man.. Kifaru just got left behind...

As for packs I never found a better pack than my hoodlum and duplex light frame until the K4 and teratorn... The K4 system is lighter fits me great and carries weight like the duplex light... Haven't tried the carbon frame and after using the K4 have no intention to...

Agree with the above everyone sold their Kifarus and bought K4s.

This. Before the K4, Kifaru was the best game in town for Packs. Now that we have the K4 and Kifaru timing with their new stuff was a day late and dollar short to stop the momentum of the K4. Now everyone has a K4 that will last them possibly a lifetime.

I joined in 2017 I think and Kifaru was talked about as much as 77 TMKs are talked about now. I currently don't see much talk about Kifaru at all.

Combine all that with Aron Snyder leaving the company. So many guys on here used to have man crushes on Snyder and that has seemed to fade away. He WAS Kifaru, literally. Now he's gone.

Never had one of their packs but really loved the Gun Bearer I had before I lost it chasing Antelope.
