Thread: Packs for heavy loads

I've got a Kifaru Hoodlum with Duplex frame (cheers hotsoup - it's still going strong mate) and it's a tank, it can take heavier loads than I can deal with and rides better than any pack I've used before. Worst load I've had in there in just under 60kg.

My only complaint is it's 3.9kg with the lid. I probably need to replace the hip belt as it slips a bit under heavy loads (meant to replace them every 3 years or so I think.. ).

Got my eye on stone glacier sky tallus 6900 (around 2.5kg). Really like the idea of trying one on before buying.

Exo K4 looks really good too - just so expensive.
New Kifaru Ark frame looks interesting.
Heard great things about the Initial Ascent too - good to see it's treating you well Tahr.

This is down near Mt Cook, summer tahr hunt - everything inside the pack (young bull, nanny all legs bone in + camp). Second pic is in the tararuas - four red deer spiker legs (neck shot) + camp - using the meatshelf.
