The frame weighs more than it's supposed to. I have every right to state this for "all the world to see." I spoke to Aron earlier, and I appreciate him reaching out. I'm still not sure why my frame is so heavy. He offered to switch me out for a new one. It's not that I can't carry a few more ounces, it's that weights on products should be accurate. Especially on high end products, period. He explained the height difference between the new frame and the old T1, which made sense. I told him the reason I didn't call Kifaru about the weight discrepancy was due to my last few calls to them about shipping on the new frames, in which the employees were unhelpful and honestly illogical.
I didn't think it was especially inflammatory to state that my new pack was heavier than it was supposed to be. Much of the conversation on this forum is people voicing displeasure or dissatisfaction with a given product or product feature. I thought others who already own the frame might chime in with, "that's weird, mine is the right weight," or "yeah, the new frames are running a little heavy." I thought that was the whole point of a forum.
I apologized to Aron if I got him a bunch of unnecessary texts and voicemails. Just saying what my frame weighs. When I get home, I'll snap a picture of it on the scale.
