I've got a Duplex frame with an OG Stryker bag attached. I use it daily for ruck training loaded with 65 lbs. in addition to hunting, etc.
The straps on the pack will not stay cinched up. They begin to loosen after about 1/4 mile of rucking and the pack sags. This applies to the waist belt as well as the shoulder straps and even the load lifter straps. I have been in touch with Kifaru CS twice regarding this issue. First suggestion was to replace the belt with a size XS. The XS fits me better but the problem remains.
Second suggestion was to change out the lumbar pad. That helped but the problem remains and the lumbar pads wear out after 2 months of daily rucking. I sent pics and verified the pack set up and adjustments with Kifaru CS.
Its almost like the straps are too "slippery" and the buckles will not bite and hold in place. My gait walking on paved roads shakes the straps loose. The further I walk the more loose they become until the pack is almost falling off of my body.
Any suggestions?
