Lets Debate... AKEK is The Better Hunting Pack System

[Hoghead]

Nalgien holder only 1 size bag? Did I miss something? I wouldn't be able to use the weapon holder very well i have poor shoulder mobility.

What does your pack look and perform like with two elks fronts in it, or a whole whitetail deer?

I’ve done that with 2 of the big 3, and they both worked well. I’ve carried out whole whitetails with the other of the big 3 that didn’t get elk quarters to ride in it. One of them does it a little better than all the others and that’s the one I still own.

The link you sent with a deer quarter (maybe) in the video, or a skull capped bull doesn’t really do a good job of showing what your pack will do with a 150+ pound load. You get some pictures, videos, and unbiased reviews of your pack doing that and we might be talking.

Which one of the big 3 are you still using? Got a kifaru, thinking about trying out a k4 in the future.

The 25" frame height would be a little short for me, though it probably works well for most. The website says it's one size fits all. OP's post says there are multiple frame sizes but I didn't see how to order a different size online.

I'm skeptical about the hip belt as well but I haven't used it so I'm just speculating here. It just seems to me as Akek says, if you win in one area, you're sacrificing in another. That hip belt may be adaptive to a wide range of bodies (win?), but I have to imagine you give up some of the comfort and non slip of a belt designed to fit a more targeted body size and then offer multiple sizes to make sure most users are covered. I also noticed in the video about how to remove the hip belt pockets that the pockets Velcro around the inside of the hip belt. That seems like it would take away from the comfort of the hip belt quite a bit over hours of wearing the pack.
