    Help Source Foam padding Material for DIY Belt?

    Hi guys, for my next DIY sewing project, I would like to make a belt similar to a Duplex belt with the large padded wings. Can anyone tell me what kind of foam padding material would be most similar to what Kifaru uses, and where to source it? My guess is McMaster-Carr has different foam...

    Load lifting

    I have used both. The OV are better in my opinion because they are adjustable as far as height. I find the MR lifters ride too high for my torso length (5' 9" & 18" torso) causing the lift angle to be much taller than the recommended 45 degrees. You can purchase a double buckle adapter from...

    Belt Question

    I own both internal and NICE frame Mystery Ranch packs as well as Kifaru. I wouldn't think you can make Kifaru or any other belt system work as the MR belt lumber is usually sewn in as part of the pack along with the belt webbing and structural side wings. The only belt parts that are...

    MR Metcalf vs Kifaru Tahr

    I see now too according to the MR website that some of the packs are either made in Vietnam or Philippines. Again, not a fan of that move as the packs used to be made right here in my hometown of Bozeman, MT along with the Fire and Military packs. I talked to Dana Gleason briefly about the...

    MR Metcalf vs Kifaru Tahr

    I believe the newer Mystery Ranch hunting packs are made in the Philippines, not Vietnam. Also, the new Guide Light Frame has proper load lifters built into the frame. I am not a fan of the fact that MR outsourced its manufacturing to the Philippines and won't be spending money for any of...

    MR Metcalf vs Kifaru Tahr

    I have both a MR NICE Marshall and a Kifaru Timberline 2 internal. I hunted one year with the T2 and last Fall with the NICE frame. I honestly like the comfort of both. The T2 slightly edges the NICE frame out for a daypack because it Is and feels lighter. That said, I have no plans to get...

    Kifaru medium / small belt difference

    I'm not sure about the newest belts but the difference between the older Small and Medium is around 4". Small belt wing pads measure approximately 10" and the Medium 12". I'm going through the same thing. 34" waist and might have to request a Small/Medium custom.
