I’ve been using the new Initial Ascent Pack for the last couple of months. It’s been intermixed with my Kifaru’s and a couple of Sitka packs. Lots of good possibilities to come. Follow along here and the review is about a month out. These guys will be coming on this week as sponsors so give them a good welcome.

11/27/18 UPDATE:

OK Rokslide peoples, Robby here. Just published Les' final review of the Initial Ascent Backpack IA4K. I'll post it here so it's at the top of the thread. Exciting product with a lot of potential:

Good packs. Comfy. Room for improvements, sure, like anything. Some good ideas and concepts. I’ll pist more and have the review. It’ll be late November tho. Lots of hunting on the docket for me tho right now.

Full length side zippers for when the one little thing you need is in the bottom of the pack.

Have you packed meat with it yet? Does it go in the bag, or between the bag and the frame?

Either. Preferably between with the quick set meat shelf. Keep inner bag and gear blood free. It’s a pretty neat and quick system.

I think it would be a great idea to get them to make a donation. It’s always good to get your product into as many new hands as possible. Wouldn’t mind trying one of these out.
