Mountainsmith EVO series (kifaru scout reincarnate?)

[Ferrulewax]

Just wanted to give guys a heads up that are looking for a hard use fanny pack like the older Kifaru Lumbar packs. Looks like Mountainsmith is producing a hunting/hard use version of a few of their larger lumbar packs geared towards the hunting/tactical market. The strappettes look very simmilar to the HPG shoulder harness which is a very comfortable design IMO.

I think I remember @Ryan Avery mentioning mountainsmith had some hunter friendly products coming, I assume this is some of that. Hopefully there is more to come.

I actually picked up the Evo Drift for turkey hunting. It is well made (but no where near kifaru/exo/hpg). It has a few design flaws but seems like a cool little pack so far.

This is good timing. I'm going to do a review of the Mountainsmith Tour Evo and the Strapettes shoulder harness. Just got them in this afternoon.

Sweet, they look like cool pieces. However, the evo drift has a few design choices that leave me scratching my head.
