I would get her the Exo. Mine works great with 120 pounds or more in it. I've covered upwards of 30 miles with that kind of load in my Exo, I've covered well over 200 miles with more than 50 pounds in my Exo, 15 of those miles were last week, so I know it is not a failure of memory.I sold my wife’s kuiu pack so that she could try something else. I have a Kifaru and love it so honestly kinda figured she’d follow my lead. I told her what the top 2-3 companies are and told her get whatever she wanted. I feel like that’s part of the fun in getting new gear is the research so I wanted her to do it for herself. Well she has and she says she’s kinda leaning towards exo (which wasn’t in the top that I told her) but i have never actually try exo. I told her that ive read reviews that they are great with under 40 lbs in them but above that you don’t want them. She just likes the layout on them better. And said the reviews that she read said anything under 80 exo was good above that Kifaru or Sg was better and her argument is only 10% of the time or less that it’s on our backs do we carry that much. So my question is what would you tell her to convince her otherwise or is her decision just fine? I just don’t want to be buying a different pack next year just cause she didn’t listen. Thanks
Wait a minute. You KNEW she'd read this thread and you still called her a "horse" and an "it"?We aren’t battling at all. I embellished alittle and made it sound like it alittle cause I knew she’d read this thread.
I was simply asking the people that have ran Exo along with the other top companies pretty much. To see if there a quality choice cause we haven’t ran them. Then by the way I worded it it turned into this lol. And I’ve pretty well enjoyed watching it develop. But I’d say as many people that have said they like there’s we’d have no problem trying them out.Just making sure I'm all caught up here...
You told your wife "do your own research" then criticized her choice?
You compared your wife to a... horse?
And you did all of this, sharing the story on the internet, on a public forum?
And I thought I lived dangerously.
