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.

You didn't answer my question above. Seems like everyone out there has these giant thick wide belts with even thicker lumbar pads. I hate both.

No pack option over 5400 cubic inches?

One of my hunting partners had your pack new on last years hunt. For the cost there are so many great features and it looks pretty good as well. But once it was loaded and fit it was just a bad design. The bag moved side to side an ungodly amount and the load lifters looked like they were from Walmart.

I know you’re trying to create the best option for the price and you might be the best for entry level packs. But compared to a SG or Exo there is no touching their fit. My buddy is trying to get an Exo as soon as he can, but as it’s expensive he is sticking with the AKEK. I don’t think you claiming to be the best pack is the best way to get people to buy your pack especially on Rokslide.

This kind of rhetoric is why I wouldn’t even consider an AKEK. I have never heard any of the other makers be so self aggrandizing. A little humility goes a long way and when you have folks like EXO who don’t slap their own backs while putting out a phenomenal product, it speaks volumes.

Oh yeah, and that USA thing.
