Stone glacier xcurve and kifaru duplex lite

[elkhunter505]

Hey everyone,
I am wondering if anyone has pictures of these two frames standing up side by side? I have a duplex lite 24” frame and I noticed the stone frame is 26”. I am a very small guy at 5’5ish and I want to see how much bigger 26” really is. I like my duplex lite and 22 Mag combo but I’m just kinda a gear junky and like testing and looking at other stuff. Thanks for any help

regardless of height, those frames are polar opposites of each other. The x curve forms to your back, there is more surface area contacting your back. Some like this. I do not. I prefered the EVO frame from SG to the xcure, as it is more like the Kifaru.

I'm with you, I wish SG would offer a 24" frame. If they did, I would be running the EVO w/ solo bag.

Not wanting to hijack but may help the OP as well, i would be curious of a side profile between xcurve and duplex with curved stays, wondering how the "curves" compare

Yeah that would be a good deal. I’m gonna ask the guy on the backpack review to se did he could
