Try both on. Some frames just fit you better than others. I switched from a mystery ranch to an exo to a SG, but I hunt with a dude who is solid and set on his MR, my other hunting buddy swears by Kuiu. Steve rinella still wears an outdoorsman's a lot, and my dad somehow still loves an older badlands... anyways, there's tons and tons of good gear on the market now, find the one that feels the best on your back and that's the best one for you. Hope this helps!Just curious, do you prefer Stone Glacier Solo or Exo K3 3200 from those who use them and why?
It’s going to be totally personal for YOU… both great packs that will come down to how they fit you.Just curious, do you prefer Stone Glacier Solo or Exo K3 3200 from those who use them and why?
The waterproof material is only on the main compartment side of the bladder pocket. The main bag cordura material makes up the pack frame side of the bladder pocket.Exo runs a waterproof pocket for the water bladder right up against the back of the bag. This acts as the same barrier your talking about while also protecting everything in the bag from any water bladder leaks, punctures or bursts.
Not an exo owner yet but have been watching DAYS worth of reviews and I think exo has won me over.

This is pretty much how I feel.Packs are like boots. You really have to find what fits you. I ordered and tested Stone, EXO, and Kifaru. What I found was the kifaru frame (specifically the belt) was the most comfortable for me, and it wan't close.
As far as bags go, I much prefer the EXO or Stone. Mainly because they are much lighter, and have better thought out pockets. Much easier to access the load shelf as well.
I really don't like any of the kifaru bags, and I've tried many. I also don't like taking an already heavy bag, and having to add pockets. I have a kit ordered to try and get the exo bag to fit the Kifaru frame. For me, this will be the best of both worlds.
