Here's my Scout next to a DT3 (just traded for a T3 non duplex). Snapped a picture together before it mails out.

Is a Scout wide enough to mount to an Alice frame?

I'm thinking personally that 500d is plenty tough for civilian packs and makes it lighter than the 1000d packs. Maybe not though, we'll see.

News from kifaru land... Xing and Loco will be 1000d (probably in response to customer input). Zippy will be 500d. All 3 new packs are scheduled to go live mid-March.

I saw the change to 1000d on the Xing the other day and was thrilled. I definitely plan to get one.

You guys aren't helping you know.

Since you are the cause of one of my addictions; I'm glad to feed one of yours a little bit

Haha. Poetic justice, right?

I'll have to sell off some gear to get in the game.

I've got a few small bits, and I'm looking at a bikini hauler frame setup with a lightweight packbag. Maybe a cargo panel. That zippy is calling out to me though...

A little Mollex pron. Was wanting what I'd call a daypack-plus. Meaning, a pack for dayhikes I can carry extra large quantities of water since I hike a lot in arid regions, do overnight trips with, and be molle expandable to add a couple pockets for 3 night summer backpack trips. Pretty happy with this choice. No major complaints yet. With 25 lbs total pack weight it rides great and is very secure while running. I absolutely love the wider bottom...it fits a sleeping bag perfectly. I also added the Grab-it to carry snowshoes in the winter or, more often, to shove my jacket in as it gets warm. A Stash-it on each side of the belt for map, compass, sunscreen, camera, etc. I have a couple mid-longs due any day for the 3 day trips. I anticipate one side for a tarp and lines and the other for cooking gear and misc. junk.

Overall, very pleased so far.

Here's my brand new Express with a Grab-it. I also have a back pocket and some pullouts.

This packs rocks. It doesn't scream military like some of the others. In hoping to get a pair of long pockets and a couple stash it pockets soon.

My next pack will be a zippy for EDC use. I'm hoping I get a tailgunner or scout for hunting.
