Kifaru Multicam Discontinued?

[Aluminum Rain]

Think of the sales increase if kifaru made packs in Sub alpine or Verde 2.0. Yes I realize Aron would sooner jump off a cliff than pay royalties to kuiu.

MC probably would have sold more if it wasn't $30 more.

This^^^^^^^

Agreed. That was a little shameful on my part. Shouldn’t let my bias for the color decisions overload my thumbs. My apologies to the staff & decision makers at Kifaru, and forum members expressing my disdain for dropping MC & CB.

You’ll buy RG and you’ll like it.

But also my prediction is that we will do limited runs of CB and MC at some point. and also dabble with other colors.

A darker brown, like a sitka mud or HPG elk, would be sick.

Is that the old Siwash, with the removable camo? I had that. Dissapointed I want have any more packs in MC, but they priced themselves out of reach. Couldn’t believe the amount extra.

Correction. We will launch the new website monday the 27th. both 26" and 24" will be in stock and also some new products we will be launched next week as well.

Wasn’t you just complaining about all the different sku and pallets of material that moved to WY? Lay off those R&D guys, and quit discontinuing favorites for new packs, and redesigning packs that don’t need redesigned, like moving a handle from the top to the 2:00 position.

BINGO

And I’ve been saying I’d never sell my Timberline 3 pack, because it was a 3 hour hunt pack, or a 3 night bivy pack. Now I’ll never sell it because of the above, and, I can’t replace MC.

I’m guessing they will keep doing what they need to do to sell packs, and they know what sells and what doesn’t

Change has also killed many companies. Take JAX beer, from the Jackson Brewing CO in New Orleans. Was about the, if not the, cheapest beer in the store. Main drinkers were lower income, maybe less educated folks. The company had this wild idea to change the name, big promotional campaign,
etc. Name was changed to Fabacher. You guessed it, the long time clientele could’nt pronounce it. Sales plummeted, and the Jackson Brewery is history.

They discontinued a color that didn’t sell well, they didn’t change their name I’m struggling to see the parallel

I think kifaru will be ok without MC, considering it didn’t sell well. I get what you’re saying, but they are killing it as a company, they could get away with a lot more than discontinuing an unpopular color… they aren’t a women’s clothing company, they sell hunting backpacks

They are a smart company, and they sold out in a couple days on a wallet that wasn’t even a wallet, and they never claimed to be a wallet company, haha.

Getting as big as they are, I assume they have to create ways to be efficient to keep up, and getting rid of skus and colors that don’t sell makes perfect business sense.

And the already crazy Kifaru prices on eBay will double
”Spec Ops, Devgru, special forces Kifaru x ray in multi cam $1500.00 buy it now, shipping $50.00
No low ballers, I know what I have!

MC costs more partly because of waste during production. Component patterns have to be arranged so the camo is oriented properly. Depending on component size, this can waste a lot of material, and off-cuts can't always be used efficiently, especially in a large production operation.

Also, materials cost substantially more, I believe because the camo pattern is owned by a private company. If so, licensing fees are probably in play.

While painful on the wallet, Kifaru's upcharge seemed reasonable to me.

Never understood the MC fanfare.

I preferred the RG, but when MC was on sale for Strykr xl and 357 it was a good deal and the packs I wanted. I will continue to to get them bloody and dirty...don't GAF what color they are.

No body else charged more for MC

I didn’t like it very much until it was discontinued
