Kuiu Women's ICON 6 6000
Kuiu's first women's frame-pack line, released in June 2026, puts a women's harness and belt on the same USA-made 3D carbon ICON 6 frame as the men's system. The 6000 holds 98 L with its detachable 700 cu in lid and weighs 6 lb 2.4 oz as a full kit; $699 is the complete pack with bag, frame and suspension. It converts to a load-sling mode that carries 5,000 cu in of meat against the frame.

Kuiu ICON 6 6000
The ICON 6 6000 is Kuiu's 2025 ground-up replacement for the Pro 6000, pairing a 98-liter expedition bag with a patent-pending 3D corrugated thermoplastic carbon frame that yields under stress instead of shattering. The $699 full kit ships with the frame, suspension, two hip belts, a load sling, a rifle quick release and a gear loop strap, and at 6 lb 2.4 oz it remains one of the lightest week-long backcountry haulers sold.

A 46 L (2800 cu in) whitetail pack purpose-built for mobile treestand and saddle hunters, with a center-mounted Divide pocket engineered to haul a hang-on stand, climbing sticks, or a platform up to 50 lb. The main body uses Kuiu's soft-brushed Encounter fabric for silence on still mornings, and a removable 12.2 oz internal organizer hangs independently at the tree for quiet access to essentials.

A 33 L internal-framesheet hunting day pack that merges Kuiu's Venture and Divide designs, with a zip-open passthrough Divide pocket built to carry a rifle or a tripod with optics still attached. The main body is high-tenacity CORDURA 330D HT with a double-coated bottom, and a large exterior stuff-it pocket doubles as a compression panel anchored with Hypalon webbing.
