Welcome to our new G2 Hunting Packs.  Owners of our packs have put them thru the wringer, and reported back.  These backcountry hunters have owned all top brands and tell us that Kifaru builds the best packs in the world, in any category, not just hunting-specific packs.  State-of-the-art features for hunting, but with the very best load-bearing comfort as well--a hunter who doesn't hurt is a better hunter. Our never-ending, in-the-field, R&D has pushed the envelope even further.  The 2009 packs raise the bar even for ourselves, and will be designated Generation II (G2) Kifaru packs. 

G2 COMFORT-- Backpack hunting is dramatically enhanced if the hunter is not burdened by load pain.  The G2 pack suspensions have ALL been meticulously upgraded (yes, even from where they were) through a whole lot of sweat equity research, afield.  You will find sophisticated lumbar pads and torso pads. longer frames for some of our smaller packs for better shoulder lift strap function, anti-slip PackLock (TM) technology--all elements working together to place comfort in a new realm for backpacks.  Notice, particularly, what we've done in the so-called small pack category. A "small" pack has many advantages--can be taken anywhere (flying, for example)--but if it can also be ramped up with our plentiful selection of lock-down Pockets and PODs (from the Military Pack selection--click here) and still provide the same or comfort of any other makers "large" pack there's an undeniable multi-function benefit to the user.  We've frankly made these packs the comfort match for any ensemble of our add-on pockets.  Now, more than ever, our small packs can be called "little big packs". 

G2 LOAD-OUT-- Our forte has always been unique levels of modularity, multifunction, versatility.  There are new levels of those good things in the G2 line up.  The LongHunter framesheets now have a full array of loops for attaching military Dock & Lock Pockets and PODs directly onto the frame back--giving enormous versatility, say, for day-hunting out of a backcountry base camp.  In fact, all our hunting packs are now equipped to readily accept these load and organizing enhancing (and ever more popular with our hunters) military pockets and PODs--top, bottom and sides. 

G2 COLOR-- The new packs will be olive drab or foliage green color—your choice.  

And much more.  Please check out the gear in more detail here on the website.  And we especially invite you to visit our Message Board for the very best in-depth discussion of the new gear. 

 

It has been close to three years since our prices were adjusted.  In the interim raw materials, fuel surcharges and inflation in general have taken their toll.  Not to mention our increased R&D efforts on your behalf.  You will therefore find inevitable price increases in the G2 gear--partly from these factors as well as partly from the substantial increases in the effectiveness of the gear for we backcountry hunters.
