Kifaru 357 Mag
$550
Hunting Pack
5(7)

Kifaru's flagship internal-frame hunting pack: 3,400 ci (56 L) of 500D CORDURA on a Kutthroat-derived 24-inch composite-stay suspension, sold complete for $550 rather than as a bag for the brand's Duplex Lite or new ARK frames. Top and full panel access, dual 530 ci spotting-scope side pockets, and Kifaru's PALS/K-clip accessory ecosystem define it, with a comfortable rating to 80 lb loads.
