I have owned both. Kifaru will never fail but is heavier. The lumbar pad grips my back the best. The SG is lighter and way more streamline. But I have broken the hip belt sliders and buckle.

I have broken the hip belt slider as well. I think they resigned it recently. I do like the sky guide organization everything has its places. Kifaru is heavy but the material is heavily well worth the extra weight. I like the load lifters and shoulder straps. Waist belt hugs hips the best.

I loaded my pack at home for a goat hunt. Broke the slide lock just before leaving. Still used it. Packed out over 130 lbs with one belt web pull forward and backwards. It was a pain in the ass but worked

I have the SG Sky Talus 6900 with xcurve still getting use to it but I was looking hard at the Kifaru either Fulcrum or Muskeg. I still might get the Muskeg? Always wanted that Barney pack also from Barneys Sports Chalet.

Hey Steve I have the fulcrum bag as well. It’s the only pack that I can have puffy coat and rain gear and spotter easily accessible. Only down side is lots of straps.

Thanks for the review. I'm leaning towards Kifaru, but the SG no doubt looks like a great frame. Saw them both in Salt Lake at the hunt expo. How long have you had that Kifaru Duplex frame? Thats the older frame you have correct?

Hey mark Kifaru is a great choice. Lots of options of interchangeable bags. I bought this 2 yrs ago. Yes this is an older frame, as they released a new ultra frame.

Hey TZ The kifaru pack will fit on SG frame , you will need to use a few buckles to attached the top of bag to frame when using load shelf. I might do a video on this in the near future

What's your torso measurement? Trying to decide between the 24", or 26" version. I'm right on the line between them.

Hey Casey I have a 19 “ torso. I called kifaru and they recommended the 26”frame. It gives the load lifters a good angle.

All top tier packs have similarities, I think they take what works and add a bit to it.
