Hi gang,
After doing way more research that I can stand without actually hauling 80+ pounds in any of them, I've settled on the Kuiu Pro pack system based on a balance of (relative) affordability and great marks on the Rokslide backpack shootout. Only bummer is not being able to try them on or handle them prior to purchase.
I wanted to see if anyone has had a chance to handle both the Pro and Pro LT bags. Other than the obvious capacity vs weight advantage, and lower price of the LT, I wanted to know if there are other factors to consider between the two (extra pouches or other form factor differences, etc). Even adding the accessory compression straps, the LT comes in cheaper.
For reference, I'm looking for something versatile enough to cinch down smaller for day hunts, but still handle 3 days of backpacking, so I was looking at the LT 4000 + the straps.
Thanks!
