Stone Glacier

Has anyone had any experience with the stone glacier x curve and Krux frame?

What are your questions?

Not sure what you are after. I run the x curve frame and have no experience with the krux frame. It all depends on the shape of your back. If you are trying to decide between the two, there is a way to test your back shape. You can stand with your back against the wall. If you are able to put your fist between the wall and your lower back the xcurve might be best. I would always advise you to get both and test the fit and return the one that doesn't fit correctly.

I’ve had an xcurve since ~ 2017, it’s been used pretty hard. I tried the crux frame for a bit and I found the xcurve fit me better.

If you have any more specific questions I might be able to help but I havnt played around with that many backpacks. I got the SG to move on from Kifaru and now it’s been like 8 years using that pack. My only other frame is a Barney’s frame which I’ve never raised as a backpack, just a load hauler for moose and bears.

I tried both. Love their bags and the people behind the company. Just couldn’t get either frame to work for me. Tried extra foam, changing placement, different strap angles…. Really wish they had worked well. If it fits you, definitely a great system.

I have 5 seasons on my xcurve frame. Ive had no major complaints. I was curious about the krux frame though. So This summer i pulled the curved stays out and cut some 250 spine arrow shafts to make it like the krux. Carried out 2 whitetail so far and found i prefer the flat stays. With loaded up weight it feels like it sticks to my back better and I don't have to crank the belt down as tight.

Post #3 nailed it. All about how much curve in YOUR back.
