Wow looks like some good things coming out with this frame.
Aron are there any secret testers in the idaho / Washington area? So we can see one first hand.

Just like anything we sell, if the UL version does well and bikini frame sales stop, we won't keep offering the bikini.

 

[mrbillbrown]

Copy. Thanks again broseph

I was just thinking that this new frame could potentially replace both especially if the UL version is a bit cheaper. Unless the Bikini is also going through a re-vamp??

 

[rhunter424]

There's a new attachment point at the bottom section of the frame that will allow the shoulder straps to attach. It's located near the ladder lock, but doesn't affect the performance of either system.

Sweet.

Soo I'll take one in foliage please

Sounds like a great time to buy a used duplex/bikini for cheap!

Doug, I'd like to take you up on that offer! I'm in Elk Grove and moving to Cameron Park/shingle springs area next week but can meet anywhere.

 

[OR Archer]

I thought I heard mentioned in the other thread that there was going to be the capability of being able to put a load between the pack and the frame itself. If this is the case can someone expand on that feature please?

 

[RosinBag]

OR archer, with the new Mountain Rambler bag, there is a meat shelf built into that pack that works great on this frame.

AMS I will be in tahoe thru Thursday evening. I will be out at the MayaArchery range Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning though. Then on Tuesday I am off to Nevada for four days of scouting and fishing. Call me if an of those days work for you.

Does this frame still feel like a duplex with light weight in the pack or does it bridge the gap between the bikini and duplex when light weight/all day comfort is considered?

 

[ams]

Thanks Doug will do!

 

[RosinBag]

I think it feels and hauls just like the duplex with a little more plushness. It has better padding and is lighter. This pack and the Mountain Rambler should fit 99% of the hunters needs for day hints from a truck or base camp with the ability to haul out what ever you can physically carry.

But I will say, I have never been a fan of the bikini frame. When I had mine to test I always compared it to the Duplex and it always seem to be a distant second place.

I'll bite since I have not seen it asked. What's this thing gonna be called? K Frame?

Just when I think it's safe to go on RS, kifaru comes out with new ways to get me to spend large amounts of money.

 

[7mag.]

A big thanks to all the testers, and to Doug for a great video review. Kifaru is truly impressive with the lengths they take to test new products before releasing them for sale.

Aron, does Kifaru accept PayPal yet? It's kinda my swedish/offshore/super secret squirrel account for things like this.

Ams,
You can order through paypal a card that directly links to your paypal account. Its free and isnt a credit line. Just a card you can use anywhere to spend your paypal balance. Thought Id mention it.

Aron great job. Cant wait to try one out.
