I have narrowed my search down to kuiu or stone glacier for my back country bag. Usually hunt days with some one and two night trips in there. Was thinking something around a 5500 for size as I had an exo k2 and liked the size of the bag. I like the fit of both however I like the SG slightly more. So what’s everyone’s opinion? Who has ran these bags before?

Slid down on my ass haha. Could get it so tight that I’d lose circulation in my legs but my frame and back wouldn’t mesh right. Tried it for two years and adjusted any and everything. Just couldn’t fix it. The k3 might be better with the adjustment in the lumbar pad and different waist straps. Liked the bag enough just wasn’t right in my eyes.
I am quite happy with my Kuiu packs. Have packed some decent weight with no issues. Do not have experience with SG but I think they are both great systems. Don’t think you could go wrong either way. I don’t think I have ever seen SG site put packs on sale though like Kuiu does once in a while.
I've ran a Kuiu Icon Pro 5200 for the last three years and I just won a SG Sky 5900 in a raffle this year. I've only used the SG a handful of times when going out for coyotes but here are my thoughts between the two:
The stone glacier seems to be more comfortable. I really like the way it fits me and the way it compresses down is very impressive. It lacks a lot of pockets which makes organizing everything much more difficult. My Kuiu has pockets all over the place which I love so I can keep every 'system' in a different pocket so I know where everything is at all times. You can purchase swing out pockets and spotter pockets for the side though if you wanted. The Kuiu lid is much bigger and has two separate compartments so I can fit more in there, I typically use the lid for high use items or items I will need quickly (that day's food, rain gear, ammo, etc.)
Can't go wrong with either but I'm gonna run the SG this year and see which I end up going with.
It probably comes down to organization vs comfort.
Good luck I imagine you'll be happy either way you end up going.
This might be a long shot, but I am looking for a Used Stone glacier bag and frame not picky but dont want to break the bank either, I cant post in the classifieds yet thats why im posting here. thanks
I run a SG Sky Talus 6900 for 5-9 day sheep hunts. Love the pack. A bear had chewed the lumbar pad and I emailed SG about buying a new one the only question they asked was what my address was and sent me a new one for free. Excellent customer service. I will never buy a pack from another brand.... except maybe kifaru
I like the idea of the kifaru. However I have tried on the SG 5900 and I like it. But I am also thinking about the talus 6900. I like the idea of both. I’d use it most times as a day or overnight bag. Kind of a weekend pack. Once and a while I’d like to use it as a week long bag but not sure if it’ll make the cut for size wise.
Just picked up my new K3 Exo 6400 in Caroline tonight. Did a lot of research on them, watched a bunch of videos on their website, and thinking I'm going to be pretty happy with it. All looks good so far anyways
