    Try on a Kifaru, stone glacier or Exo pack near Vancouver

    Hi All, I would like to try on a Kifaru, Exo, Mystery Ranch, and stone glacier X curve pack or pack frame in the lower mainland. Is there anybody out there with one of these packs who would let me try them on and load them up to see how they carry before I purchase my own? There doesn’t seem to be many places where I can go local or even within a day trip where I could try on more than one of these packs. I have a friend with a kuiu, but I am leaning towards the stone glacier express. Thanks for any help and this forum! I don’t post here often but I am a steady troll.

    I’ve got a 2nd gen Kifaru longhunter if you’re ever around the comox valley.
    That being said, I’m upgrading, or renewing I could say, this year too. The pack is tired but done well !

    I have a MR and it's packed and ready with about 50lbs of gear. It's set up for my body size and I'm 6ft and 220lbs has a medium waist belt. You're welcome to try it out.

    I have an exo 3500 with the k2 frame. I’m in mission and work in Langley. Looks like they are coming out with a new frame and pack soon though. The new one looks sweet.

    Thanks all. Bought a stone glacier 6900 and it did well on the pack out. Still need to get it dialed in for fit though

    You packed the ram out and your buddy, did you de-bone him as well?
