KUIU vs Stone Glacier packs

[bspear]

I’m looking at the KUIU Pro 2300 vs a Stone Glacier Solo 3600 on a Krux frame. Anyone here a smaller build that’s had experience with both? I’m 5’4” and struggling to find a fit.

Take a look at this one, my wife is 5'5" 125-130#, she just got hers, but it seems to fit her very well.

I have the Krux with the 3300 bag(predecessor to the solo). My daughter used it on the high buck hunt. It fit her and she is 5’4”.
Where are you located? If by chance in western Washington we could meet up and you can give it a try. If not I am sure there is someone local to you that has either of the packs you are interested in and is willing to meet up. Best of luck!

At 5'4'' a SG frame is likely to be way to tall. Look at the EXO Ryan mentioned.

Thank you so much for the offer! I'm located in Nevada, but I greatly appreciate this!

I'll be interested to hear if she has any issues with hot spots from the hip belt being so wide. My gf has the same pack, and after a long hike with a heavy pack, especially if there is elevation change involved, she will get several hotspots or blisters where the bottom of the belt rubs on her thighs/butt. Maybe it's a fit thing but any higher on the hips and the belt is in her rib cage.

OP, i have a krux frame and she has the EXS, she's about 5'7 and thinks my krux frame is way too tall and uncomfortable for her neck. The exo feels absolutely bomb proof material wise.
