Couldn't take a pic of my 7200 loaded up, but here's my 1850. Love it.

I own the Duplex + DT2.
It is built like a tank. I have loaded the unit with two 50 lb sandbags and walked a couple miles...okay 1.5 miles ;)...
The weight remained on my hips and off my shoulders.
However, wondering KUIU might be more comfortable, not to mention that I can pick up the ICON PRO frame, 5200 bag, and 1800 bag for less than what I paid for the DT2.

Have a 1850 on its way for a day pack. Just the pack and sushi on though no frame.
You're getting sushi with your pack? I didn't know that.

I did have one day where I just about threw the thing off of a cliff though. For whatever reason, it just started squeaking one morning when I was hiking in to my hunting spot. I tried to ignore it for awhile, but eventually I just got pissed. It is amazing how aggravating squeaks can be after awhile! I ended up taking it off and readjusting ALL of the straps. Pulled and tweaked everything, readjusted the shoulder straps, completely reseated the pack on the frame. So far that seems to have worked. Only time will tell. Overall, I would give it a A-/B+ for performance. We will see about longevity...

If you are having squeaking with your pack take the frame off the bag. There is a pocket where the bottom rounded part off the frame slides in that is where the squeak comes from. Clean it out and put some powder graphite in there and reasemble. Had the same problem with my and it solved it.
Yeah, that is kind of what I found out. I also noticed that there is a little protective strip that runs around the bottom of the frame inside that pocket, and mine has come unglued. I don't think that it effects anything, just something I noticed. I will try the powdered graphite if the squeak comes back.

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 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.

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

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

I dunno.

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.
Post by: wooltie on November 22, 2014, 06:32:48 PM
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.

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.

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

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.
