Hey guys, I'm pleased to hear that your Kifaru packs are working out for you. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have about our gear. Just for info, our new ZXR is the closest in size to a large ALICE ruck. We get asked that question quite often by guys when trying to decide what ruck to buy. It seems most guys are familiar with the large ALICE, and will use that as a size reference.
If any of you guys are out here on the West coast, I'd like to invite you to the Kifaru Beach Demo & BBQ that I will be hosting on the weekend of Sep 30/Oct 1. It will be on the central coast near Santa Cruz/Monterey. This will be a chance for you to see and handle ALL the Kifaru gear in person. Also, we will be unvieling our new sleeping bags for the first time at the demo. Here's a link from a thread on our message board with all the info:

I hope some of you can make it, and look forward to meeting you.
