KIFARU GRABIT FULL

There is probably another 3-5oz of excess straps. I probably wont tame the Flying Spaghetti Monster any further in case I ever desire to put the highcamp bag back on. I just eliminated 1 large belt pouch, and since the airplane bag is waterproof i ditched the rain cover.īase weight is now down to 16.2lbs (thats carrying gear for my 7yr old son as well). The zpacks bag replaced the highcamp directly. Will have plenty of room to spare for 3 season trips.

I loaded it up with my typical deep winter load out for me and my son along with 5 days of food just to see if i could get it all to fit(as i could in the highcamp bag) and it works like a champ. $65 for a 3lb savings is good in my book. The airplane bag weighs 3.3oz and i am guessing is around 90L in size.īy removing the existing highcamp bag, 1 belt pouch, and my s2s rain cover i saved a total of 3lbs. I am using a Kifaru Bikini frame, a grab it, 2 k connector compression straps, a longhunter? Lid, a small belt pouch, and a large belt pouch, and the Zpacks airplane bag. – If using on a bike, consider a Bane frame without a stay to allow spine curvature.I picked up a zpacks airplane bag with the idea in mind of reducing my base weight substantially, and I must say it is working beautifully.In the pictures you will also see three small straps, they are NOT included or available. Five piece Pull outs set - Mandrake Grab it - Mandrake Four pieceLash it Kit - Multi Cam All for 125 shipped PPFF Preferred. It’s all as new, none of this stuff has been used. – You can use as is or with the Bane frames ( with or without stay) to add structure. This is the last of the Kifaru kit that I’m selling.– The back is padded with thicker hydrophobic 7mm spacer mesh for breathability.– Shoulder straps and back have a tight weave spacer mesh that will keep pine needles and pebbles out.Echo Specs:įabric: 500d Cordura with a VX21S Xpac lining The included web belt will help stabilize when needed and detaches when it’s not. If you’ve packed to the brim and still need more space, grab the zipper pull under one of the hydration port exits and unzip the expansion gusset to gain extra space. Bottom web tracks and tabs above the bottle pockets will link up with a Sherman or Grab-it. A bungie on the front will keep your rain layer or tarp away from your gear. The front stash pocket is made from the same 4 way stretch material as the side pockets. Dual Nalgene pockets on either side will stretch to hold Jetboils or tripods. The back panel has a bladder pocket with dual hose exits on either side of the top handle leading to elastic hose retainers on each strap. The Echo has three zippered pockets, one on the upper front (w key hook), an internal mesh pocket and the removable chamber pocket. From this pack, the back pocket, Sherman compatibility and lessons on structure for small bags and their intended uses where taken.Īll of these research points lead to a smaller bag that had a few internal structure options, with more access that could expand based on the task at hand. Some found it to be overbuilt and top heavy without a belt. With the belt and stays, you can pack out a fairly serious load. Its smaller size means you need to be selective about what you bring and have a torso size that works with it. It disappears behind you and can haul a surprising amount once set up correctly. The Doorgunner is our smallest internally framed pack capable of an Omni belt and is a little tank. From this bag, the expanding gusset, smaller size and lessons on accessibility were adopted. The roll top closure and limited access wasn’t for everyone though.

The Quandary was a great little bag, ideal for quick trips and could expand into a much larger bag. After the popularity of those designs, the Echo was revisited to earn its name and combine some of the best features of some of our smaller bags and also fix the areas where they fell short. In its original Molle covered form, this bag was adapted to make our Stryker Duplex bag.

Starting as an experiment to make a longer E&E for longer torso’ed adults, the Echo gradually morphed into a full featured compact EDC bag.
