Hey Rokslide!


Just a heads up that Jordan and myself will be reviewing the new packs that Kifaru just released; the Crater and the Cavern.
As soon as we get them, we will get to work.

Check out the packs and tell us what you think.

Cavern (6,500ci / 85L Bag only) – Kifaru Intl. Online Store

Crater (8,000ci / 131L Bag only) – Kifaru Intl. Online Store


If you have any specific questions that you want addressed, post them up!

Edit:

Tony's Kifaru Cavern Review is complete.
Jordan's Kifaru Crater Review is complete.

Subscribed - thx you two.
Really curious to see how it rides heavy with the height it boasts. Just wondering if it sways more than normal.

Jordan I'd really love to see the cavern in day pack mode where just the essentials are packed in it along with a big spotter and tripod and maybe the rifle or bow still in the center. Curious how everything balances out with pocket on one side. Really like the looks of this pack for a do it all pack.

My plan is to leave a bit or room going up so I can fill it before heading back down.

Crater in day pack mode chasing sheep. Collapses and works a lot better as a day pack than I expected. Better than my AMR did for me anyways.
