I had one of these when they first came out. Loved the pack and don’t recall any issues with the belt. Used it on a couple mountain goat hunts With no problems. What is the issue you’re having?

There was “bad” strap material in a run of them. My 5200 did it and I found the answer on the now defunct Kifaru forums. I’m not sure if they kept the forums open for read only purposes, but you’ll find your answer there.

The basic summary being that the straps on the power pull in that certain run would collapse because the webbing wasn’t the usual grade due to a manufacturing problem of the webbing.

sounds about right , i could not think of the proper word ,webbing collapsing and getting pinched off so it would not tighten, my 5200 was one of the first ones,when i read they were stopping the ku i quickly bought the 3700. kif forums huh? ok
