I have owned and tried all but the EXO. Still have Kifaru and Kuiu. Most of the time I use the Kuiu. It is lighter (about the same as SG), fits as well as the others and loads well. Plus, the bags are pretty reasonable so having a few for different scenarios doesn't cost near as much as some of the others.Just like anything try as many as you can. I tried EXO, Kuiu, Eberle (Heavy as hello), Mystery Ranch, Stone. All were very nice and I went with the Kuiu LT4000 because on sale they were the least expensive. For hike in camp/hunt I will be adding a larger bag. LT material is more than durable enough, and will go with the standard for no other reason than the access to areas. One large stuff sack pack I don't prefer.
