Gear maker and retailer Kuiu believes it's come up with a solution, with its redesigned Ultra and Icon lightweight backpacking systems that can handle up to 150 lb (68 kg).The carbon fiber frame on these two backpacks is the key, weighing in at a tidy 10.5 oz (298 g), or about the weight of a can of soda.

But this isn't just any carbon fiber material; it's what is called spread tow carbon fiber, that doesn't warp and according to Kuiu is "literally stronger than steel."solo 425 backpack sprayer reviewsThe pack frame works as the base of a customizable system that allows you to swap out different-sized packs and easily transition from a daypack to a multi-day backpack. backpack ankrahmunRegardless of the size, every pack is made of 500D Cordura rip-stop fabric, making it virtually waterproof and extremely durable.booq boa squeeze laptop backpackKuiu has also focused on making these two new models more comfortable by incorporating a suspension system that distributes weight more thoroughly through the hip belt.

It's eliminated the middle of the back contact point, so with the pack contacting only the shoulders, lower back and hips, airflow is improved and the pack doesn't slide down your back. Every pack also has a built in T-lock track system that lets you make adjustments based on the length of your torso.The Ultra line starts with a volume of 1,800 cubic inches (29.5 liters) and a weight of 4 lb 1 oz (1.8 kg) and goes up to 6,000 cubic inches (98 liters), which weighs in at 3 lb 12.7 oz (1.7 kg). The Icon line starts at 1,850 cubic inches (30 liters) and goes up to 7,200 cubic inches (118 liters) and tops out at a svelte 5 lb 12 oz (2.7 kg). The latter would make it one of the largest capacity multi-day backpacks on the market.There are other rugged ultralight backpacks out there that weigh less and have similar features, like the Granite Gear VC series, the Ultralight Adventure Equipment Circuit pack, and the Gossamer Gear Mariposa 60. But none of these have the weight carrying capacity or ability to swap out different sized packs like the Kuiu Ultra and Icon packs.

Kuiu reportedly spent two years working on the design of the new packs and enlisted the help of Rocket Composites, which creates carbon fiber products for the aerospace and automobile industries.Prices start at US$349.98 for the full Ultra 1800 kit. Take a look at the following video to see the Kuiu packs in the wild. Tomorrow the Founder of KUIU, Jason Hairston, is doing another live stream broadcast to showcase new 2016 summer product releases. If you’ve never viewed one of the live events, you will need to register and then check out the live video at the designated time. The great part about the live stream is you can ask questions about each product and KUIU staff will respond to your questions. KUIU has over 10 categories of products to release tomorrow and some categories have multiple items. The KUIU Live event will take place tomorrow, June 30 at 10:30 a.m. PST. You can register for the KUIU Live by clicking the link below. View the KUIU LIVE event here Below I am going to give a description of each new product as well as my initial thoughts.

From what I have seen so far, I am very impressed with the new products. I have used similar items throughout the years, so I know these products are going to hit another home run in the mountain hunting world. KUIU is releasing some updates to the popular ICON Pro and ULTRA backpack line. The packs are now sporting a new material and they created a new frame that is made from molded Spread Tow carbon fiber and they now have siliconized anti-slip print on the lumbar pads. In case anyone is wondering, the new packs will fit on last year's frame. When comparing the older ICON Pro and the ULTRA's, it seems like some of the new pack weights are very similar and others are slightly heavier. It will be interesting to hear more about the new frame, the weight and the strength during tomorrow's live stream. The KUIU Mountain Star - 2P tent got a few upgrades this year. The tent has now incorporated some of the features that are on the Storm Star 2P tent and the new design weighs the same as the older version.

The Mountain Star now has an asymmetrical shape (shoulder area is wider than the foot area) which makes it more comfortable for two guys to sleep shoulder to shoulder. This is highly beneficial because as we all know… mountain hunters are drastically different in size from smaller mountaineering backpackers. Now two hunters or a hunter and a guide can cut more weight from their packs by only carrying one tent, and still comfortably sleeping side-by-side. The tent was also upgraded with dual matching down-wind doors and vestibules. Of all the new summer release products, these game bags and quarter bags might be the ones I am most excited about. Typical game bags and boned out meat bags I have used in the past are too long and the meat just piles up in the bottom of the bag. The KUIU boned out meat bag seems to solve that with the duffel bag and handle design. Plus, with the outer seam on the side of the bags and not on the bottom, these bags should hold up to some serious abuse.

Older traditional game bags were made by sewing two panels of rectangular fabric together on the sides and bottom. The seam on the bottom is a high stress area and has the potential to fail. I’m very interested in learning more about the materials that the KUIU quarter bags and boned out meat bags are made out of. The product description says they are made with a high end material, called Taslan nylon. From what I have researched, the Taslan Nylon almost weighs a third of cotton canvas. The Taslan Nylon also has a high combination of tear strength while maintaining high levels of breathability. I'm sure these will be very lightweight and strong game bags. Not only is the bag material and sewing construction different, but the shape of the bag allows weight to be shaved off. Traditional game bags are rectangular, but the new quarter bags and boned out meat bags have a radial bottom. This also happens to be the shape of the bottom of an animal quarter which I am assuming was done intentionally.

The handles are great addition and allow you to pick up or hang boneless meat to cool while keeping it evenly distributed throughout the bag. A great feature of these bags is when meat is picked up or hung by the handles it will not slide down and ball up at the bottom. This feature allows for improved airflow keep you meat cool. These should be the perfect solution for early season hunts. I have grown to love the Peloton lineup, and these glove are going to excel when you need some protection from the sun on an August bowhunt or just a little added warmth on early morning or evening glassing sessions in the summer. Also, the added length is perfect for bowhunters who hunt with a wrist strap caliper release and want the added camouflage on their hands. The popular Peloton 200 glove got a slight upgrade. I've been using the older 200 series Peloton glove on most of my spring turkey and mule deer scouting trips this year and really love how versatile that glove is. It is one of the most comfortable pairs of gloves I have ever had.

The new features of this glove for the summer 2016 release are the conductive material that are added to the index finger and thumb. I am assuming this material was added so you can use touch screen devices like cell phones and GPS units. I'm sure we will find out more information on the release tomorrow. Anyone who knows me or has seen photos from my hunts will know I am huge promoter of boot or shoe gaiters on any hunt, no matter the season. I hate getting small rocks or other debris on my socks and in my shoes. A huge homerun is the silicone non-slip section that was added to the upper section of the Scree Gaiter so your pants don't pull through. Stay tuned for the article I am releasing soon on why I feel boot gaiters are a must for Western hunting. KUIU takes a must have item for glassing and made it even better. They kept the design simple, yet it will function perfectly. I normally use a cut up section from a sleeping pad to sit on while glassing, but I really like that this glassing pad has webbing loops so I can attach it to the outside of my pack for even quicker access.
