KUIU ULTRA - A Better Pack for Your Back

The quest for the perfect pack seems to be an endless pursuit, but the crew at KUIU believe they’ve nailed it with their latest offering, the KUIU ULTRA.

The ULTRA 1800 is the perfect daypack for elk hunters, whitetail hunters, and everything in between.

KUIU’s new backpack line features backpacks that are stronger, lighter, and more comfortable than anything else on the market. The new pack’s frame is lighter than a can of soda and literally stronger than steel. The bag itself is made of patented, highly durable, water resistant fabrics that can carry 150lbs of weight. Plus, the bag is fully modular so you can customize it and swap the frame for a day pack or an overnight bag as you need.

How is this possible? Jason Hairston, founder and CEO, studied the way aerospace engineers use carbon fiber to patent new technology for an ultralight pack frame that minimizes weight while optimizing performance and functionality. He’s traveled across the globe researching the best of the best in rugged materials to create the perfect pack.

The ULTRA pack system is a brilliantly simple modular pack concept that incorporates an advanced suspension, bag, and KUIU’s patented Carbon Fiber frame. The focus of all ULTRA packs is minimizing weight while optimizing performance and functionality. The foundation of the pack system is an 11 oz, California-made Spread Tow Carbon Fiber frame that is strong and light, but still flexible, ensuring performance and comfort both at trail weight and when packing meat. Even better, the new Spread Tow Carbon Fiber frame is versatile and can fit the entire pack line – both the Ultra and the KUIU Icon Pro line of packs.

The KUIU suspension system is the foundation for the super-tough ULTRA backpack.

The ULTRA 1800 is the perfect size for most day hunts. With a main compartment featuring a full horseshoe zip, two front zippered pockets, one stuff-it pocket, and 2 zippered hip belt pouches (sold separately), the ULTRA 1800 gives plenty of options for organizing your gear while weighing in at a remarkable full kit weight of 3 lbs 1.5 oz (bag only weight 11.3 oz). The pack bag can compress tight to the frame when unloaded.

The extreme light weight of the ULTRA modular system makes it practical to now carry an extra day hunt bag into the backcountry. When you reach camp simply remove the ULTRA high capacity pack bag from your suspension and add an ULTRA 1800 or 3000 bag. With the load sling capacity between the bag and frame, even the ULTRA 1800 is capable of carrying 80+ pounds of meat back to camp.
