Kifaru 44 Mag Pack Lede

Kifaru has announced the highly anticipated relaunch of the 44 Mag pack. First introduced in 2019, the original pack was popular for its versatility and size. While it was still a traditional top-loading pack, the capacity and organization made it a great option for single- or multi-day trips.

The reinvented model boasts significant upgrades to enhance gear organization, weapon-carry capabilities and overall functionality, yet maintains the modularity and durability synonymous with Kifaru.
