any kuiu icon pro reviews?

Think you could fit 70-80 lbs of deer meat into the main compartment of the 1850?

I would doubt you could get 70-80, 60-70 maybe? The top part of the pack is pretty narrow, and somewhat shallow, but the bottom is quite cavernous. I am always surprised how much you can keep stuffing in there. I guess it would depend on how well you packed the deer. I wouldn't bother though. The load sling works very well, and it really takes no time to set the pack up for it. That was probably the main reason I went with this pack, so I guess I never considered packing meat into the pack itself. Maybe I will get a chance to give it a shot on the late muzzy hunt. I will update my response if I do...

I had the first line of the 1850 and returned it for the Ultra 1800 and 6000, right after that they came out with the Icon Pro line.   I packed out my elk this year and my buddies muley with the Ultra and it performed flawlessly.  Similar to the Icon Pro, more slimmed down, less padding on the shoulders but I didn't notice any discomfort, don't think you can go wrong with either line.

I just recieved my Icon Pro 5200 yesterday. Headed to Montana tonight for a week of mule deer hunting. I will make sure to update with my review of the pack.

Is yours a Pro?

[Bmcox86]

Yeah mines the pro but doesn't have the carbon fiber frame sheet just the frame poles

Whats the difference between the frame sheet vs poles?  I get the sheet...just unsure if I've seen the poles.

I have a Kifaru duplex DT2 which is built like a tank, but I am thinking about switching to the icon pro 5200/1850.

Wondering if the kuiu frame is more comfortable on me.

The frame sheet is what's needed if your hauling meet or any weight. The poles pretty much just make the 1850 a day pack

What about the shoulder strap adjustment? 

I saw the video on KUIU about adjusting the strap--appears the straps are velcro'd to the frame?

Trying to decide if I want to get the 5200 or the 7200? hmmmm... does the 7200 cinch down for a usable daypack? (daypack for me would hold spotting scope/tripod, extra layers, ect..)  Would possibly use this for a high hunt and want to make sure I would have enough room to get a deer out. anyone any experience with these? thanks!

[wooltie]

I dunno.

I bought the 7200 and the 1850 bag to use as a day pack. The bag only was inexpensive...$70 I think.

Was thinking about this option. Probably not going to want to carry the extra 1850 bag in to the high country tho. Would most likely cinch the 7200 down for day hunting from base camp. Just wasn't sure if the 7200 compacted down.
