A Fine Pedigree.
Kifaru Tactical Gear (formerly Kifaru Military Gear) is the culmination of decades of experience and engineering. Descended from mountaineering and hunting bloodlines, this gear cut its teeth in the rawest of places, world wide. Patrick Smith is a "real world" designer who spends a third of the year in the middle of nowhere evaluating, testing and perfecting gear under field conditions. His legacy has deep roots as the founder of Mountainsmith in 1979, building world class mountaineering packs and the best hunting packs since 1997 with Kifaru, International. So, were not new kids on the block. Undeniably tough and resilient, Kifaru honors its namesake "rhino" (Swahili) with ultimate, long term value.
Coordination is the key to a successful campaign, so our products are designed to be as versatile as possible, and to integrate with other products you might already own. Our packs accept any MOLLE compatible pockets, and our pockets fit anybody elses MOLLE compatible pack. Fundamentally, our Integrated Systems Approach lets everything fit everything else, and everything is expected to function superbly at as many tasks as possible - Modular and Multifunctional is a slogan around here. As for packs, specifically, we insist on being the very best at providing these four functions: comfort, stability, versatility and durability. For obvious reasons, soldiers at the point of the spear have a mission accomplishment advantage when these factors are the very best. Being a direct-to-customer firm, there is no need to out-glitz the competing packs on a dealers wall. This allows us to design for what actually does the best job of comfortably carrying very heavy loads in trail-less terrain in the middle of nowhere. We had learned that thickness and rigidity in suspension systems is NOT the most comfortable way to go. Instead, anatomical perfection is the key. That thinner, drapier waistbelts and shoulder straps assist anatomicalness to do the job the best. Bulky padding, plates on waistbelts, actually inhibit comfort. In fact, plates, hard thermo-molding and such things inevitably crush ones hip bone points when the load is heavy enough and the march is far enough. There is no getting around it. Kifaru has succeeded in the marketplace via word of mouth - being more comfortable than ANY packs, despite going utterly against conventional doctrine which equates bulk and stiffness with comfort. Thickness seems to be a marketing imperative - a builders pack must have the most bodacious looking waistbelt and shoulder straps in order to compete with all those other brands who are busily doing the same marketing race. For those caught up in this spiral, there is zero incentive for stepping out of the race and beginning anew with a blank slate - to find out what really works best for ultra-heavy loads in extreme back country situations such as backpack hunting. We had nothing to lose - Kifaru was not being sold on any dealer pack walls - just out of a box delivered via UPS, and with the promise that if it didnt do the best job ever, to just send it back. It turned out that users declared our thinner, but anatomically perfect suspension systems the best in the world - regardless of sport category. Appearances can be deceiving. We built what actually works best in the more demanding world of the on-foot soldier. There was a considerable additional benefit reported: our svelte suspensions were more appropriate for being loaded and unloaded in vehicles and aircraft than any of their bulky, stiff competitors.
Ultimate, long term value. As far as we know, all our products, even decades old, are still in service; they just don't wear out. Being a small company, we are able to keep a critical eye on quality control, and give you the highest performance. No foreign sweat shops, no passing the buck. Colorado, once a Mecca of backpacking innovation was home to companies like Lowe Alpine, Gerry and of course, Mountainsmith. Once those shops sent their production offshore, they gifted us a large pool of expert, industrial sewers to choose from; among them, many Mountainsmith pack builders who are long term (decades) staff - that says a lot for a company! Buy this gear with confidence - its based on three decades of knowing what it takes, and has been thoroughly torture tested. We offer a lifetime guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship. Should they ever fail to provide satisfaction because of defects in materials or workmanship, we will repair or replace at no cost to you. Problems associated with normal wear or abuse will mean a reasonable repair or replacement charge. Kifaru is fully Berry Amendment Compliant - meaning that every dollar you spend with Kifaru is kept right here in the United States. Instead of fueling foreign economies, we put funds right back into American pockets. The taxes reaped from our sales and salaries support our infrastructure and communities - not those in Asia or Latin America. Every stitch, every component is American made and simply better designed with the best materials. This gear will outperform and outlast anything made offshore - period. Drilex thoroughly trumps Coolmax, as genuine 1000d Cordura trumps all off-shore imitators. The skill and dedication of our American staff ensures we build the very best gear specifically for serious military/LEO operatorswith a continuity unmatched anywhere. They are paid well - they deserve it. In both the short and the long run, the price is better. It is costly gear. Nevertheless, serious users quickly acknowledge that the cost-to-benefit ratio of their Kifaru gear is quite high - the gear, quite simply, is well worth the investment. Can you buy a pack for less money? Absolutely! But, at what cost? Patrick Smith, President, Kifaru International

Ergonomic Perfection
edges are unable to cup enough, focusing pressure on your bones Looks vs. Feel. Extremely thick padded, rigid belts and shoulder straps can be deceiving. They might look comfortable, but lack the load spreading efficiency of a well engineered and anatomically correct suspension.
We will guarantee a proper, comfortable fit for any operator - large or small, or your money back.
Our larger packs LIFT the load from your shoulders, and meld the weight with your entire body. No shoulder or neck fatigue after a long day.
Pre-fit. Individuals and small unit orders: tell us your height, inseam length, waist size and weight we'll pre-fit the suspension to your torso and waist. Unit orders get a pre-set fit.
Load Placement. Load is funneled over your entire back, the bulk going to your lumbar region for better control and less shoulder fatigue. Our unique Delta Straps provide a triangular pull to control and stabilize the load into the belt. Some of our waistbelt systems let you choose size and padding needs, and are removable. Our contoured shoulder straps provide maximum upper body freedom they dont cut into your armpit or bind.
Duplex. On our largest packs, the dual nature of the frame lets you remove it from the pack and convert to a hauler. The pinnacle of huge load capabilities, the Duplex provides incredible latitude for adjustment and fit, and can handle any load you're able to carry. WrapTech Plus (ZXR) Same components without the removable frame. WrapTech. This low profile suspension is the most comfortable ever offered on a military pack of any size with ANY weight load-out - exceeded only by our own DuPlex Suspensions. Omni. These packs are delivered without a waistbelt unless you specify. Add one of four Omni Waistbelts for astonishing comfort under VERY heavy loads, thanks to sophisticated anatomical construction. Unique to Kifaru, these packs let you calibrate the suspension to your specific needs.

Shoulder Straps - thin and anatomically contoured to spread weight well. They fit so well that the sternum strap is often not needed at all. do not "cut" into your armpit area or focus pressure on one edge. unobtrusive enough for easy wearing with a vest/ armor. independently adjustable for each shoulder raise or lower the entire individual harness to fit your shoulder and torso length. Need to wear a pack over bulky body armor? Lengthen the straps for perfect positioning and best performance. Drilex lined to wick away sweat. Upper attachment points for optional CargoChair (p. 20)
internal frame. twin aircraft grade aluminum stays on all our packs, even the smallest, provide support and weight transfer to comfortably carry heavy loads.

All contact points are carefully sculpted to naturally funnel weight away from your shoulders and to your hips for more efficient carrying. More comfort = heavier loads. raised torso pads for ventilation on most packs. contains the Armor Grip utility on Armor Grip packs Quick Eject buckles let you ditch the pack in a hurry
The Waistbelts The anatomical cut conforms to your hip shape and locks the load there. The wide design delivers superior comfort, spreads weight and alleviates hot spots. They dont dig into your ribs like a traditional straight cut belt. Padding? Don't let them fool you... massive padding is NOT necessary to handle large loads. Spandura lining on large pack belts offers smooth comfort.

Loaded with parka-like features, the Upper MOB (prev. pg.) functions as a superior outer garment that can be worn over armor and 2nd line gear, without having to remove your gear. Works great when pulling OP/LP duty, taking breaks after long humps, and keeping warm. The Upper MOB works equally well in the hunting and expedition world. Hunters on-stand will recognize the many benefits. Upper & middle sections as garments. Wear the Upper Section as your sole insulated upper garment, then add the Mid Section to create an insulated cagoule.

Stow-Away
These storage bags are built of RhinoSkin and mosquito netting to provide superb ventilation. They are narrow, and intended to be used vertically, in a closet, or hang anywhere youd like. We highly recommend you store your Regulator long term in our Stow-Away Bag to ensure it doesnt loose loft, and therefore, warmth. Keeping any sleeping bag in a compressed state for any length of time can compromise its ability to function top notch. Color: OD with white mosquito net Sizes: regular or large hang

Upping the ante on lightweight, compact carrying. These featherweight sacks cut bulk and weight, and are exceptionally effective at compressing large bags and components into manageable packages. Instead of bulky webbing to compress, we utilize cordage to do the heavy compression work. Line Locs serve as your cam - no more big buckles, either! Use these sacks for not only your Regulator, but clothing, parkas, etc. Reduce anything big and bulky to a fraction of its size. Regulator Stuff Sacks MUST be purchased separately, due to the large number of possible elements and configurations. lashing slots cord storage Color: coyote brown. grab Sizes: small, med., large 3 String Stuff

Sacks
ITW Line Locs provide great cam without the bulk of a big buckle
Our Regulator Stuff Sacks are so popular that we are proud to introduce a smaller version geared toward clothing (including PackLock), tarps and smaller soft goods. Color: coyote brown. Sizes: small, med., large
Lashing slots let you easily strap a Regulator Stuff Sack onto your pack using compression straps or our Lash Kits.
Why do they compress as they do? Most stuff sacks compress lengthwise - ours do so circumferentially ONLY - to integrate neatly and tightly to the pack bottom. No dead air space or bowling ball effect, and adds support/rigidity to the pack.
