any kuiu icon pro reviews?

I've read it compacts well.

The 1850 weights 22 oz and the ultra 1800 weighs 9 oz. That's light enough to haul into the backcountry for me, esp since all the walking will be from.base camp.

I scouted this yr with a 1300" day pack which was awesome, so I'm looking forward to the 1850 for day hunts.

My main pack this yr used was 5200" and weighed over 7lbs.

That ultra bag is cheep right now. Might pick up that too and try both.

Bought the 7200 bag, frame, and suspension, plus 1850, and two ultra bags.

I'm impressed so far.

The frame and ultra bag carry a 50 lb sandbag well.

Coming from the kifaru duplex system, the KUIU system is much more contoured, compact, and less intrusive.

I picked up the Ultra 3000 and the 1850 Pro bag during the sale. Not sure how much I'll use the 1850 bag as the 3000 compacts down nicely though the Pro bag is a quieter material IMO. Haven't hauled any weight in it yet but it fits well. I had an EXO 3500 on order and I cancelled when it wasn't going to make it in time for my late hunt. Had already waited since July and I figured 3 months was long enough to wait. Ordered my KUIU and had it in 5 days

keep the reviews coming.

I am currently hung up between KUIU and Stone Glacier.  But I am not intending to make a purchase for 6 months or so.

On the Kuiu 5200 can you remove the top bag and still run the main compartment?

Thanks,

I have th Icon Pro 7200, and so far I love it , way better than my Badlands 2200. Been walking my hill and back 3 miles with weight(72lbs) and it feels great...

That's great man but you didn't answer my question.

Yes you should be able to

only started hiking with it  2 weeks ago but walk the hill every couple days, zero issues with the frame, super comfortable pack

I bought the 7200 last year and used it for my elk hunt! love it. made my 50lbs way comfortable. I am excited to see what a animal pack out will feel like on it. the quality of the bags are great!

I used it this year in idaho and eastern oregon. I used the 1850 as a day pack which allowed me to break down all three bulls and pack out the first quarter.  That pack is money well spent.   The kuiu booth is usually at the utah sportsman show so u can try on all there gear.  Salt lake is a fun place to visit if u get a chance.

No experience with icon but the Kuiu Ultra 3000 is a great daypack - meat pack combo.  No need for a smaller bag for a daypack or larger for a meat pack but a lil small for multi day packs.  We used them for a weeks backpack in BC and it hauled out a couple moose 5 miles no problem.  But getting all our gear in a 3000 size is tough.  I picked up the bigger bag for future multi day trips.  The ultra is a minimalist design perfect for daypack meat pack combo weighs like 2 lbs.
