Kifaru Tactical Gear

2

A Fine Pedigree.Kifaru Tactical Gear is the culmination of decades of experience and engineer-ing. 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. Following the atrocities of 9/11, we were contacted by Mel Terkla, who had conducted an extensive investiga-tion of all backpack builders to approach one to produce a superior pack system for American soldiers. His first choice was Kifaru, citing our suspension and hauling systems, and extensive, versatile modularity as the most promising. Kifaru Military Gear Division was launched in June of 2002.Integrated Systems.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 else’s 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.

Gear for Life - the Kifaru Guarantee.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 - it’s 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 sat-isfaction 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. Slightly more conditional guarantee applies to Kifaru Ultralight Series (p. ?).Fully Berry Amendment Compliant. 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 operators- with 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?

Ordering. We do not use dealers in order to keep costs down and provide a custom product. Education. Feel free to call us, or visit our website or forums for a wealth of information. We’ll teach you more about packs, accessories and shel-ters than you ever cared to know.Do you hunt? Our website also provides a trove of expertise on everything from hand loading, to boots, to bags and boning out an elk. You’ll get to see how Kifaru gear has been used and abused under extreme loads, in tricky, remote terrain. • Tactical Specialist: 1-866-308-1911 • email: [email protected] • Ordering: 1-800-222-6139 or 303-278-9155 M-F, 9 to 5, MST • FAX (303) 278-9248 • Kifaru, Int'l, 4894 Van Gordon St., Ste. 305 • Wheat Ridge, CO, 80033 • www.kifaru.net • forums: www.kifaruforums.net

New Gear

Undeniably tough and resilient, Kifaru honors its namesake "rhino" (Swahili)

with ultimate, long term value.

Kifaru Ultralights. We're proud and excited to release our new Kifaru Ultralight Pack Series. Eleven years in the making, we wouldn't put them out there if we didn't think they could pull the grade. Though not “tactical” in the traditional sense, operators will find the Kifaru Ultralight (KU Series) rucks a great addition to their “tool box” where they can be called on for quick, short range missions on up to long range reconnaissance when overall weight is a critical factor. They sport a clean look and shed weight, and live up to the same reputation for comfort as our standard tactical and hunting packs. 9.

Kifaru Cargo Panel. On par with any of our packs, we're proud to introduce our Cargo Panel. Fully featured and incredibly functional, it ranks up there as a must have piece of kit. You'll find it equally as adept or better at wrangling huge loads as any pack out there. Unlimited uses in the field to include medics, EOD and mortar teams. Page 20.

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, instead of being caught up in a marketing race. For those caught up in this spiral, there is zero incentive for stepping out of the race and beginning a new with a blank slate - to find out what really works best for ultra-heavy loads in extreme back country situations. Kifaru has succeeded in the marketplace via word of mouth - for its durability, excep-tional comfort and customer service like no other. 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 didn’t do the best job ever, to just send it back. It turned out that users declared our gear the best in the world - regardless of sport category. Appearances can be deceiving. We build what actually works best in the more demanding world of the on-foot soldier.

is rigid &over-stuffed, doesn’t form to your body

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.

After three decades of pack building, we’ve learned to strategically inte-grate load and human. We deliver not just comfort, but stability and maxi-mum performance - critical when the heat is on. We know 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 one’s hip bone points when the load is heavy enough and the march is far enough. Our users have declared that our thinner, but anatomically perfect suspension systems the best in the world - regardless of sport category. Appearances can be deceiving. We build what actually works best in the more demanding world of the on-foot soldier. There is 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. Our focus is on a frame and suspension that sticks to you, moves with you, and alleviates hot spots. Each element is designed to help center, stabilize and transfer the weight to the parts of your body that are meant to carry it. You carry more stuff further, with the most efficiency. We build them to fit YOU, and ask for your dimensions when ordering.* Kifaru’s Tactical Division is the most important work we’ve ever done. We are completely dedicated to it.*unit orders are shipped with simple instructions for custom-fitting individual members

Our con-toured shoulder straps provide maximum upper body freedom - they don’t cut into your armpit or bind.

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.

We will guarantee a proper, comfortable fit for any operator - large or small, or your money back.

All our suspensions adjust to work in conjunction with a vest.

Unparalleled Fit, Unparalleled Load Control.

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 stabi-lize the load into the belt.

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.

A Kifaru Belt “drapes” over your anatomy

edges are unable to “cup” enough, focusing pressure on your bones

Some of our waistbelt systems let you choose size and padding needs, and are removable.

The Packs at a Glance

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.

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. This low profile suspension is the most comfortable ever offered on a military pack of any size with ANY weight load-out - exceed-ed only by our own Duplex Suspensions.

Ergonomic Design Sticks to YouA pack that moves where you move, with no-slop performance. This “stick-to-you” concept relies on low profile, anatomical contours of frame and suspension. The most fundamental of pack components is the suspension system - the “interface” between pack bag and its contents and you - the man carrying the load needed for the mission. Like a car, the weight of the "vehicle" is suspended on the frame. It is not loaded directly onto the frame, which would cause stress points and discomfort. You ca also distribute weight wherever you desire over your back.

internal frame. twin aircraft grade aluminum stays on all our packs, even the smallest,

provide support and weight transfer to comfortably carry heavy loads. HDPE

frame sheet in our largest packs helps spread the load over your entire back. 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.

Power Pull gives you a more effec-

tive cinch down - so remember to pull forward, not back.

Quick Eject buckles let you ditch the pack in a hurry

Our packs are built to ride low in your lumbar area

(center of gravity) to maxi-mize comfort and stability.

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.

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 don’t 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.

hoseports Each Kifaru pack has an interior sleeve for a

water reservoir. Just route the hose through the port located at the top of each pack, and

clip into your shoulder strap for immediate hands-free water access.

Shoulder Lift. Weight is lifted from your shoulders and spread to your back and waistbelt.

Pack shape: all our pack bodies are shaped with just right contours to allow you maximum upper body free-

dom and arm movement. Unlike most other manufactur-ers, we simply don’t make a barrel and add a suspen-

sion. All our packs are low profile - they do not “hang up” on obstacles and are exceptionally stealthy

Built from the ground up as an all-purpose combat ruck, the Zulu is very versatile when it comes to size management. Whether you need an assault pack, a 3-Day type pack or Patrol pack, the Zulu can do it all. This pack is extraordinarily comfortable, with a design focusing on simplicity and durability. Top loaders can be massively overloaded if necessary due to combat conditions, so we gave the Zulu an over-the-top strap just for this scenario. Same on the bottom - extra long lid straps completely span the bottom for even more, large gear storage.The Zulu will swallow even a large sleeping bag. In short, it is capable of toting a LOT of gear.Waistbelt: optionalPALS Grid: pack body: 7 rows, 20 channels lid: 3 rows, 8 channels

Combat GunBearer While many gun slings function well for MOUT and CQB work, ours excels in rough terrain such as mountains and desert, where you need your hands free for bushwhacking, handling other equipment and duties to perform while still having instant access to your rifle. The weight of the firearm rests on our waistbelt to keep your neck and shoulders from fatiguing - a must with heavy sniper rifles.

1. Standard Combat GunBearerWorks on any PALS equipped pack waistbelt. Attachment: malice clip.

2. Universal Combat GunBearerThe standard Combat GunBearer has been so popular that we're offering the Universal Combat GunBearer to fit ANY (including non-MOLLE) waistbelt. Two sizes: Long Universal for padded, wide belts Short Universal for a small webbing type belt.

Kifaru Ultralights (KU Series)

Because less is more. More energy. More efficiency. Longer distance.True to our heritage, the new Kifaru Ultralight (KU) series delivers superior comfort, foremost, and still achieves low-end weight in the ultralight market. Our KU packs use the very same suspension systems as our renowned standard packs, in an ultralight format. They handle extremely heavy loads in comfort, which ensures new-departure levels of comfort for lesser loads as encountered by fast packers and general backpack-ers. Comfort is critical to efficiency. Eleven years in the making, these packs out-perform ANY pack* no matter the weight, while saving you very significant chassis weight. A great deal all around. And they have all of the multifunction and modularity you’ve come to expect from Kifaru. You give up nothing…except a LOT of weight.*except our own standard weight packs, which they equal

The Dual Stay Program. The revolutionary KU stays are ultralight yet strong for proper load transfer. Available in different lengths for precise fit, meaning you can use two different stay lengths with the same pack - interchangable at home, or in the field. A second set for your son... or a second set for expedition-weight loads. Better yet, these stays will retrofit your traditional Kifaru pack - lightening your pack by up to 9 oz. Construction: laminated composite of carbon fiber and wood

grab loop

Construction and materials. Our KU packs are constructed of two layers of our proprietary micro-weight tipi fabric, which has withstood sus-tained testing over eleven years. The outer layer is a subdued (we stress function over eye candy) Coyote Brown color. The inner layer is white—for visibility. The packs are zipperless—for longevity and weight savings. The webbing and buckles are lightweight but durable.

The KU packs introduce our Precision Lift Plus™ stay length system--based on our patented Preci-sion Lift design feature. You can choose from two stay lengths with every KU pack to perfectly accommodate your height. This ensures you get proper shoulder lift functioning so that the weight is carried on your hip shelf instead of on your shoulders.

Stuff SacksUpping 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. Color: coyote brown.Sizes: small, med., large

Stow-AwayThese 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 you’d like. We highly recommend you store your Regula-tor™ long term in our Stow-Away Bag to ensure it doesn’t 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 netSizes: regular or large

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.Lashing slots let you easily strap a

Advantages of a Kifaru ParaHootch vs. a traditional military poncho- will not “wet out” like a poncho in hard downpours- almost a pound lighter at 11oz. vs 25oz.- compresses much smaller (will fit into a 3 mag pouch!)- no hood to tie off or get in the way- more setup choices- more coverage (see dimensions)
