Absolutly no experience with these packs, how do the hold up and how is the comfort. Pros & Cons? Multi day packout I am thinking.

Thanks

I have the SG 5900 X-curve and couldn't be happier. Thus far I've packed out a couple bull elk and and handful of mule deer, no complaints at all. In the past I've used a couple other nice packs, Kifaru and Exo but for me the SG worked better.

“GOAT” Thanks. I hear a lot of good things about them but no personal experience.

I have a couple and really like them. One has packed out quite a few elk and held up really well. I think I've packed out 2 with my newer x frame pack and it has worked great. They are super light but handle a heavy load as well as anything.

Great day pack. I have the minimalist and it is great up to about 100 pounds, but over that it starts to sway and is pretty awful (basically the pack is too narrow). If I am carrying camping gear and planning on carrying really heavy loads then I use my Seek Outside paradox. But that said I really like the stone glacier pack for 'day hunts' and lighter loads. I just used it a lot on a base camp based blacktail deer and mountain goat hunt.

Been using the Xcurve this year and really like the frame. Not really liking the approach bag at all, it’s a pain in the ass if you’re in and out of it much.
I've pulled a lot of big loads out of the hills with mine. Been using it hard since 2013, no complaints. Can't compare it to newest gen MR or Kifaru, but compared to the NICE frame and Kifaru T1 I prefer it. I had the Krux frame, now have the X-curve and it fits my back a little better.

I have a solo and a sky tally 6900 with an x-curve frame. They make an awesome pack. I’ve packed out a few animals with mine and hiked many miles with zero issues.

Yea I was looking at the Solo as a day pack. How is that different than the EVO 3300? Is it just the frame?

I have the original Terminus. Have run it pretty hard for a few years, but have backed off a bit lately because I want more capacity and I was too cheap to upgrade. So I've been using my old Barney's frame pack.

The SG has held up really well, the only noticeable wear is on the fabric that covers the bottom of the frame stays. It isn't worn out, just worn. No doubt from sitting down on rocks/scree to take a break.

The bag is the same, that Kurd evo frame is flat while the x curve is more ergonomic.

How do they stack up against the Seek Outside Revolution frame?
