Mystery ranch sawtooth 65 vs Kuiu pro divide 4500

[Bowhunter46]

Ready to pull the trigger but can’t make a decision. Kuiu has the pro divide on sale right now. Will be using for 4-5 day hunts packing in a shelter and day hunting from that.

I dont have experience with either but the divide system in the new kuiu packs seems really cool.

Have the Kuiu frame with the Pro LT 4000, Ultra 5500 and Pro 2200 bags. I feel the Divide pack takes away the lightweight advantage of the Kuiu due to all the extras on the bag. I have the MR Pintler and like the Guidelight MT frame, but as far as pack systems go, I prefer the Kuiu frame and bags. I can pack in on a larger bag and switch to a smaller one for a day pack.

What do you mean extras on the kuiu 4500 bag? I am also looking at the 4500 for a 3-5day trip. Weight is definitely going to be a factor

I don't remember all of them, but check all three of them out on the Kuiu site. You'll see the differences in each bag.

thanks for the info

I like the layout of the Kuiu better and as mentioned here already, the system is well engineered. Just too much available space means you have to watch not to overpack

Just got a MR Sawtooth 65 for a steal on DVOR @ $287. Bag layout is great. Rucking this summer will be the real test.

I have the 4500 and it does a 4-5 day perfect but i would say 5 days max just because most of the space is taken up by food.
