Which lid for nomad?

...and when I completed the selections in the pull down menus that $71 jumped up quickly. The 71 is the starting price for the cheapest of any lid that you can select...the way I see it.

I don't have a nomad. But like the Longhunter lid. Have been a fan of that lid for awhile.

A cheaper option I was going to use with my Nomad was an IBLE lid. Plenty of them for sale on Ebay. It didn't look pretty but it worked. 13.8 ounces on my scale and could be less with a little modification.

I believe the $71 is for solid color LH lid, standard is around $36 and XTL is over $100. Just going off memory here. Kifaru doesn't post the lowest price always, just look at the bikini, it is $40 cheaper with aluminum stays but composite stay solid color frame price is listed. Drives me nuts

Can anyone give a better review now that they have been using their LH lid for awhile now?

The longhunter lid works great. I haven't tried the new guide lid yet, but I will be giving it a whirl before too long.

Here is a pic of the Nomad with a longhunter lid and back pouch attached. I really like this setup with the Nomad.

Justin is that a small or medium belt pouch?

 

[Justin Crossley]

I believe that is the small. I can post a side by side tonight if that helps.

I would like to see that as well, Justin.

I have both the XTL and Longhunter lids and on the Nomad prefer the XTL. When the pack is empty, the Longhunter lid really flops around ALOT. No problem when the pack is full, but in daypack mode I actually hated the Longhunter on this pack and I am a huge fan of the Longhunter lid normally. On the Nomad and EMR2, it is the XTL for me.

I took the long hunter lid off when in day hunt mode with my nomad and didn't miss having a lid. I ran a long pocket below the two vertical side pockets. A slick setup!

Sorry for the delay. I've been really busy with work. Here are a few pics.

Small and medium belt pouches.

I day hunt mode, i like to run a t3 lid on my nomad, keeps it nice and compact.
