Title: Kifaru Bikini Frame
Post by: SilkOnTheDrySide on January 25, 2013, 03:06:29 PM: Phew. Pulled the trigger on the bikini frame today. Should be here just in time for bear season! (like my wishful thinking?)

Post by: fillthefreezer on January 25, 2013, 04:06:02 PM: the bikini is only avaiable with the composite stays

Post by: SilkOnTheDrySide on March 10, 2013, 07:52:39 PM: 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.

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!
