2014 Kifaru Nomad

[wapitibob]

Congrats. You did very well. Pretty much everything I've wanted in a bag. The grab-it and GenII finish it off.
I would also put the bladder in the wing. When they're between the wings they get smashed and blown up.

How easy is it to access the batwing pockets? Do you have to unbuckle the horizontal straps to get into the outside pockets?

No, but if you tighten the piss out of them it would be.

I keep them taught when doing everything but heavy hauling. I'm able to get in the zipped pocket and slot pocket easily doing this, but again, when really tight it won't be as easy.

When will they be available?

 

[Aron Snyder]

We'll have them for sale in mid-late January.

We also have a LARGE center zip bag coming out next week that fits on the Bikini or Duplex, but it's a big boy (8,800+)

Our sleeping bag has been re-designed/upgraded for 2014 as well.

When will they be available?

Very nice!!

Looks like a pretty sweet system. I love all the options. How much is the camp bag going to be?

 

[tm7554]

Nice job Aron.

So I can see some applications for this pack instead of the timberline, but are there instances where the reverse would be better?

 

[greyghostnw]

amazing piece of kit..... looks endless. great in depth videos and great design....

 

[Mad Mountain Mike]

I'm thinking it'll work pretty good on a duplex frame.

 

[wyodan]

You can, but I'd envisioned/planned on the bladder going in the sleeve of the wing.

This allows for quick/ easy access when re filling.

Is the pocket still big enough for a 4 liter hydromelite?

if your like me and a million compartments/components on a pack just drive you nuts then yeah the timbelines going to suit you better. thats actually what attracted me to kifaru in the first place was the simplicity. but this looks alike a great system and good for kifaru expanding the horizons of what hey offer. and great for the consumer to have options to fit individual needs. thats how you stay relevant

I'm intrigued. This might be what I have been waiting for, but I don't have the time to watch 10 videos. Ive wanted Crew Cab like functionality (load sling for packing meat) without excess weight and some functional shoulder lift. Can someone please summarize with specs? Is this what I have been searching for?

 

[Hunt'nFish]

Aron, I gotta say..... I've never been the type of hunter that like a traditional backpack.
So the new Kifaru Nomad is right up my alley! I've always like a pack that is modular.
I like to drop what I don't need and go with only what I need.
Really liken it. I think I just settled on my new Kifaru pack!

You know it! That's my go to bladder.

Yes it is definitely what your looking for man. Its 100% more versatile then the Crew Cab and has functional load lifters like you want because it uses the original duplex or bikini frames

 

[wileybrew]

This is going to be an awsome system! With the durability of kifaru and this new design the options will be unlimited!

$244 for the Nomad and they would arrive in April.

What's the price on the camp bag?

 

[CrzyTrekker]

Awesome, can't wait to see the new sleeping bags too.
