Title: Kuiu icon pro 3200
Post by: jdb on January 15, 2017, 03:24:53 PM: I'm seriously thinking about buying this pack. Mostly as a day pack for hunting but also hoping it's big enough to to an over nighter now and then. Is it big enough for an over night pack?

Post by: Magnum_Willys on January 15, 2017, 06:18:13 PM: For any trips I would want the 5200. Maybe start with that and decide if you can't strap it down enough for day hikes. I run the 3000 Ultra Bag for a day bag. Lighter material and more streamlined than the Icon Pro. IMO no need to go smaller than that for a daypack as it straps down to nothing - the 1800 might be a lil snug you stuff it with an extra shirt, top and bottom raingear, kill kit, snacks, spotter, tripod, shells, lunch, cap, gloves, gamebag, water, and such.

ON sale you can get the ultra bag for like $65

Post by: JKEEN33 on January 16, 2017, 07:16:32 AM: I just bought the ultra 3000 and it's an easy overnight pack. Will be getting a larger bag for longer stays and taking the 3000 for the day bag.
