Are the kuiu 2300 day packs any good?

I don't see why they wouldn't be. I'm sure they function as good as any school book knapsack. Go for it ......

I've use an old Kuiu Ultra 2200 on a Seek Outside frame as my standard day pack for years. Works good for me.

I have a 2300. I mainly use it for travel and hiking/scouting trips. Easy carry around the airport and fits perfectly in the overhead compartment. I’ve never used it for hunting. Im either using a smaller backpack for day hunts or an actual frame pack

I just picked one up on one of their sales a couple months back. I have used it yet but I really like the amount of room and the zipper layoutIt seems like a decent pack for what it is. I’m looking forward to trying it out this fall.

I really like mine for what it is. I use it as a tree stand backpack and it works great for what I need.

I have an Exo pack for when I’m hunting or scouting, that just serves the purpose better.

I really like mine, use it for whitetail tree stand hunting. I think layout is nice for that. (I take the belt off).

I have been using a 2300 Venture since March of this year as my daily pack. I took it on an international hunt as well with mostly hunting close to the truck and no need for packing animals. It travels fine, honestly wish it had a laptop compartment, but I know it wasn't made fore that purpose. You can put a laptop in the hydration sleeve. I put it under the seat and it fit fine there too. The removable belt is great if you need some extra weight carrying. I won't really use it for hunting beyond close truck hunting/scouting. I have an Exo for my hunting needs. Currently I carry it daily to work. The zippered options are okay and provide enough organization for my needs. It's pretty light as well, which I appreciate. I also find the shoulder straps more comfortable than other packs I've used. For comparisons sake I have also used a Kifaru shape charge, and a pnuma pack, as well as the usual school/office packs. The shoulder straps on the Kuiu are much better and more comfortable. The weight difference between the Kifaru shape charge and the Kuiu is noticable with the Kuiu much lighter.. And I seem to fit more in the bag of the kuiu as well even though it is supposedly is 200ci less, kuiu is 2300, kifaru is 2500. The lid is far better on the Kifaru though. Bigger size and more function to me. Straps are worse though, and the back panel of the kifaru is flat and so is very sweaty. The kifaru has some ventilation in that respect. The kifaru is built like a tank and will carry much more weight though...so for versatility if you are really trying to get some packout the kifaru is better in that regard. I sold the kifaru though and kept the kuiu. Just works better for my needs.

I love mine. Used it out west elk hunting and use it all the time back east deer hunting. Liked it so much that I bought my son one he loves his as well

I got a Venture 2300 prior to being discontinued and love it. It's my go to day pack for hiking and hunting. The features on the newer model don't look nearly as good to me and I would not buy one.

I had the old one and now have the new one and I’m not sure what differences there are? What features are different?
