Just checked I ordered my DT1 and DT3 packbags on April 20th, I can't find the email stating when my ship date might be. Anyone order around that time frame with a estimated ship date to get me a rough ETA?

I ordered mine 4-19 and did not get an email, but my ship date is 7-2-12, so you should be close to the same. I called and angie gave me the information. We are like a bunch of kids before Christmas! I am already wanting a Late Season Legacy, the madness of Kifaru!

Looks like you got 2 lbs 14 oz for the T1 bag, 3.75 oz for standard top lid, and 3 lbs 14 oz for the frame with 26" composit stays. Total weight should be right around 6.98 lbs. Almost 1.5 lbs heavier than a standard T1.

Still very lightweight for a modular system with this design. But I'm curious as to what advantages you see having a smaller pack when a regular T1 compresses down to easy day pack dimensions? This was what made me go with the regular T1 was that extra 1.5 lbs of weight savings.

My multicam DT1 w/XTL lid is due to ship o/a 23 Jul.

I am gonna put that thing to the test pretty quickly on an Alaskan sheep/griz hunt in late Aug/early Sep.

Hope to load that thing down on the pack out!

After receiving, adjusting, and testing my cargo panel and duplex frame I am very happy. I just ordered two small pockets and two long pockets to complete the set up. I was on the Kifaru sidelines for a long time but I am glad I made the plunge. The versitility I gain with this setup is great and the fit of the frame is amazing.

You and me both!

I really like the looks of the LSL. I borrowed my cousins G1 LS for a quick 2 night trip into a pards 12 man prior to me buying my G1 Siwash a few years back. We were flip flopping 'drives' and wound up with two smallish Whitetail bucks the first day I was in there. I gave the LS a lil test and carried both boned out bucks AND my dayhunting gear the mile and a half back to camp that afternoon when we were done hunting. Mightily impressed with it I was. I wound up with the Siwash when one came up used in the classifieds over at K forum, as I needed/wanted a tick more space for overnight use than the LS offered. Since then my loadout has decresed in volume quite a bit and I'm wondering if I can get away with the LSL these days.

The only improvement I can see for that pack would be to make it a top down compression loader like the Longhunter/KU series. Then you could cram some stuff up in there and cinch it down, making the pack act alot bigger than it really is 'supposed' to be.:D

Ordered a DT1 in CB. Only downside is I can't pick it up until Aug 14th and I sold my other packs already.... guess I need to find a cheapo to use this summer

Looks like my DT1 will be sitting on the porch when I get home tomorow.

Wow! Isn't that 12 days earlier than promised? I wonder if the DT1s were the first run of the new Duplex series. I hope this means that I'll get my DT3 next week...
