Kifaru/ Stone Glacier

[Mad Mountain Mike]

Has anyone tried mounting a Kifaru bag on a Stone Glacier Xcurve frame? If so, how did it fit and what modifications did you have to make? I’m thinking of picking one up to mount my Nomad 2 on.

Tried out a muskeg 2800 on an x curve. Works pretty good the top sleeve is a little loose but works good.

The side compression straps all lined up.

The bottom straps work good to keep the bag tight. You could run it through the common loop or skip it.

Idk how the nomad is but I figure you could make it work with a couple buckles.

Looks good, thanks for the reply. What’s your impression of the Xcurve? How is it under heavier loads?

When is empty or light loads is probably the most comfortable pack I've tried. But with more weight it seemed to be pressured more on my lumbar and shoulder pads vs the kifaru was more of an even distribution. It is very comfortable for how lightweight it is.

I'm curious if the nomad mounted up to xcurve also, did u get this to work out??

Or Stryker? Anyone tried that yet?

I've done a cargo panel on my xcurve and it works good.

I am putting a AMR on my x-curve. Seems pretty straight forward the tops of the stays go right thru the holes in the sleeve on the AMR. The load lifter strap goes right thru and there is a second strap that goes right thru with it. I am probably going to run that second strap down to a pals webbing loop on the sides of the AMR to keep the stays from slipping thru the sleeve holes too much. If I like it I will probably sew some sleeves on the back of the pack top under the sleeve for the stays and leave a hole at the top for the load lifter strap to slip thru. The rest of the straps line up pretty well.

So do your kifaru buckles plug into stone glacier buckles? Is the compression strap webbing is the same size on kifaru and stone glacier?

everything works fine between the two.

Great thanks!

Curious if anyone has tried to run a kifaru sherman pocket on SG Xcurve or SG pack? I have the sky 5900 but looking to try this out.? Just wanted to check first.
