capoeirajosh Report post Posted April 9, 2016 Has anyone else had this happen?? How did Kuiu treat you if it did? I am running an Exo Mountain Gear now, but sold my brother my Kuiu pack. Little over a year old and he noticed that the frame was cracked. Worse come to worse, he has to buy a new frame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HuntHarder Report post Posted April 10, 2016 They will warranty it. With their carbon frames, it is not "if" it will crack, it is "when" will it crack. They have gotten better over the years, but they still crack. Contact them, and they should make it right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capoeirajosh Report post Posted April 10, 2016 That's good to know!! Thanks for the heads up. I just sent them an email with a picture of the crack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heat Report post Posted April 10, 2016 They will take care of it, but that still sucks. That being said, I've never heard of any failure whatsover on the carbon/wood composite stays on a Kifaru. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cjl2010 Report post Posted April 10, 2016 Less kuiu more kifaru.. I'm pretty sure your back would break before the frame 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madx250 Report post Posted April 10, 2016 I just bought the EXO. It is Awesome! Initially i was looking at Kuiu, but after a little research the Internet told me about the frame issues. Also Exo made in Montana with lifetime warranty. Kuiu made in China. . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viper Report post Posted April 15, 2016 Has anyone else had this happen?? How did Kuiu treat you if it did? I am running an Exo Mountain Gear now, but sold my brother my Kuiu pack. Little over a year old and he noticed that the frame was cracked. Worse come to worse, he has to buy a new frame. What year, model Kuiu pack? I read they had trouble with the older frames. I believe they redesigned it last year. I just bought the Icon Pro 3200. I had a little trouble with the fit using the tall frame. Now I have the regular size frame and fits me better. The pack looks like good quality materials and assembly. The true test will be when I get it on the trail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
