Kuiu owners, what pack did you go to next?

It’s one of those things you don’t know until you know. However, the shoulder straps, waist belt and comfort under load are all much better with the Kifaru, Exo and IA.
I will add in fairness, the last Kuiu pack I tried was about 5 years ago. Maybe it’s gotten better.

Kuiu to Kuiu. That is Kuiu Ultra to Kuiu Pro. The Pro carries heavier weight much better than the Ultra. The Pro tested well in one of the Rokslide pack tests not too long ago. I prefer the Ultra for lighter weights and still use it with a small bag as my run and gun elk pack. Out of all the packs I’ve looked at since and the one that would interest me the most if I were to change would be an Exo.

How old is your ultra? I bought the pro about 6 years ago

I’m going to guess 10ish years? It’s been awhile. It was likely around 2015 mby earlier. Bought the Pro in 2020.

I bought a IA 5k back in the spring, can't wait to try it out this fall packing deer, and hopefully my first bull. So far it seems to carry weight better than my kuiu pro, although I haven't had more than about 40-45lbs in it yet. Just seemed like hiking long distances with my kuiu in the 90-100lb range left you sore for quite a while after.
