Kifaru Duplex Ultralight Compatibility with new Exo K3 pack bags

[sivart]

Can anyone tell me where to get the rock lobster buckle that isn't black?

I am not sure what a "Rock Lobster Buckle" is...but I just bought some buckles and straps from Kifaru. They can be found in their Accessories page under Web Management and Buckle Sets.

That looks great. Do you know what that setup weighs?

No but I can weigh it tonight. Duplex frame feels heavier than K3 frame slightly to me. It has stuff in it at the moment but I’ll dump it when I get home and try to weigh it tonight.

Has anyone tried a Kifaru bag on an EXO K3 frame?

I tried my DT2 bag, but the sleeve is too narrow to slide over the frame. Maybe newer bags have more room.

Buckles would need to be swapped out, also.

Thanks for the photos.

Also going this route with a 24” frame and a 3200 bag.
Can you take a shot of where the lid straps connect to the frame?
Cheers,
Andy

Just a K Clip on the 2nd frame loop from top and any 1” webbing to the original EXO rock lobster buckles. Hope this helps!

@6.5x284 beauty thanks!

@6.5x284 beauty thanks!

Other option would be to run a Kifaru lid which connects to the 2nd loop I think on the frame by the load lifter loop.

I do the same setup except I cross the lid straps between the bag and frame. I've found it keeps the lid more secure.

That’s a great idea. I’ll give that a try.

Hey man, are you running the Exo k3 crib in there? How does it connect to the Kifaru frame? Does it work well? Any pics? Thanks!

I am! Works great. I'd have to look, have it broken apart at the moment. If I recall, the Duplex frame had two loops at the top and I used one for the load lifters, and the second for the K3 crib. I'm headed out for a trip again but can try to get pics when I get back.

Basically, I ran the metal clips on the K3 crib in that loop to both start and finish the crib "U" shape for lack of a better explanation.

No rush, that would be awesome, I really appreciate it!
