Kifaru Zulu Review

"Very good mid pack(it's 2800 cu.i, but u can extend to 5750 cu. i or more) . The Omni belt works so wonderful. it's just become part of my body."

"Very likely the last pack I'll ever buy (I'm 40) - I got rid of SIX packs when this turned up in the mail. Officially 2,800 c.i. but check out http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n69/brotzie/PICT0066.jpg for some serious volume abuse (although I'm using the optional cargo chair and XTL lid there).

CONS: Pricey, long lead time for delivery.

PROS:
(1) Worth every cent.
(2) Bombproof construction, primarily of 1000d nylon (and the sides are double walled!); so tough it's rated for parachute jumps.
(3) Two 100-oz bladder pockets.
(4) PALS webbing all over to rig even more capacity - I've had it up to around 7,000 c.i., without the chair.
(5) Most comfortable suspension I've ever worn.
(6) No zips to burst.
(7) Works equally well under-loaded; cinches down to half volume (1,400 c.i. range) quite happily to use as a daypack - although the XTL makes a good go-pack in its own right.

That all sounds a bit gushy, but I've had mine about a year & a half and used it for commuting, air travel, mountain rescue, you name it and it's performed admirably doing it. Find an owner near you and feel for yourself."
