Hello All,
I just recently bought a Kifaru Reckoning bag (from the Rokslide Classifieds) to replace my EMR ii pack, I received it a week ago and threw it on my frame. I have been perusing the internet to figure out how to set it up correctly and I noticed my pack is set up a little differently from the advertised Reckoning on Kifaru.net. The advertised bag has a water bladder tab and pouch with Velcro on the outside of the pack between the frame. This pack I have on hand has a water bladder pouch on the inside of the bag in the main compartment with a hole behind the chamber pouch for the bladder hose to route to the outside of the pack. It has a hanger loop behind the chamber pouch and it also has 4 webbing loops on the top and bottom of the bladder pouch (I am guessing it is for other accessory pouches). It has made in the USA tab with the Q.C. tab with a stamp saying “inspected by 005, custom fab inc.”
With all that being said, I am just reaching out to you guys who are pro’s compared to me and ask if you ever received a pack that has been “updated” for the lack of better terms? I don’t use a bladder but I do like the added features inside the bag and not upset about it, just wanted to see if this has ever happened to anyone else.
I reached out to Kifaru and the customer service gal looked at the Reckoning they had on display and it didn’t have the features I explained above. She asked me to send her pictures of pack to look at it. She explained they have updated packs time to time but wasn’t sure about the Reckoning.
attached are pictures if I confused anybody.
Thank you for your time everyone,
Nick
