The reason people have a problem with the cubic inches of the long hunter is how it closes at the top. You cannot stuff it completely full cause you still have to pull the draw string at the top. Thus you lose some ci's.
Thats not a fair comparison at all. Mystery Ranch uses a more conservative method of determining and listing their pack's capacities/volume. One cannot go by the listed specs, with MR one will be pleasantly surprised, Kifaru on the other hand...........
Not a fair comparison at all? Now i don't think you can say that. Kifaru may be a little tight on ci's (that i doubt) but that dosent mean it's not a fair comparison. You act like it's a huge gap.
