Phew. Pulled the trigger on the bikini frame today. Should be here just in time for bear season! (like my wishful thinking?)

Did they change the stay material on the bikini or does it still use aluminum or wood/composite laminate?  I haven't been able to find any information on that.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Me either.  I have to say...Kifaru is like cocaine.  Since this original post, I ordered the DT1 in Foilage, the Grab It, the Gun Bearer, a Medium belt pouch, and the pistol holster for the waist belt.  Phew.  Don't tell my wife.

Well you are more then welcome to come up and take a look at mine, and take it for a test run up Mt Peak.  I'll be picking up some sand bags for different weight amounts.

I am still rocking the duplex.  I think I will like it better for hauling quarters.

Pretty good video on roc slide of a guy doing a comparison video with the new bikini/dt1 and the stone glacier. I don't think there will be a real difference. But at the same time, if I had a duplex, I don't think I would order the bikini.

Thanks!
 There is another member on here who offered up a spin with the SG.
   I see a new pack in my future, Just don't know which one!
