have used this pack (the first version) on two combat deployments to date. I also own other packs and equipment from Kifaru. The gear is expensive, but that's because the quality is far above any others. Excellent gear, excellent American made craftsmanship, excellent company. The Zippy is easily a 48-72 hour pack especially when loading on external gear /pockets. If you buy one piece of their gear...youll be back for me!
@every day survival It is funny I can't reply to your comment. All day long and twice on Sundays my friend. Your used medium alice pack was just as expensive when issued, you simply bought it used. I simply show the gear I like and use. Nobody is forcing you to watch or buy what I show. Sounds to me like you should find another channel to watch.
Interesting design. I like how the straps are in multicam. Not so sure I like the wing pockets and pass through but this was a great review. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome looking pack. Little bit pricey, but then again it's made in the USA so it's worth it for the quality. Looking at the pack on their website before this video, I was like "The only thing it needs is an admin pouch/organizer pocket on the front." Lo and behold, they sell one that is designed to fit on this pack and all of their packs haha. For the strap issue, ITW Web Dominators are amazing and require no sewing as they just clip onto the end of the strap. Kifaru even sells them on their website under the "Accessories" seciton. Just a suggestion. :) Great video as always, Ben!
I guess I'm pretty late to the party, but it would be really great if you could do a side-by-side comparison for size, carrying capacity, etc. Between the Umlindi and the Urban Zippy. I'm kinda stuck between the two. I have gear from both houses so I know the quality is second to none on either, but I don't wanna have to pull the trigger on both of them to figure out the details. Your reviews (the ones I've seen) are really useful and I like how you talk about the gear without always using the "house terminology". So I know any side by side stuff you could throw out would be super useful to me. Thanks for your time, be safe.
Ben....Like this design ! Packed properly, you could get to any item quickly and easily without pulling everything out. Very cool. Especially for a day pack..... Thanks for your reviews, they are very informative as usual......PAPA DUKES
+john rossi Yep, the only thing you have to remember to do is close the side doors if you open them. Moving your pack without remembering that you will lose items.
I thought it could be a weekend pack until I saw it on your back. Its' small but looks like a good pack. I think this would be a great pack if it had the molle webbing. I watch a couple of people's videos on here. The thing is, what food do you take with you. Do a video on a pack with everything you would take including food on a weekend trip. I don't have a place or to go and have fun every weekend. I will find or buy that place.
Ben, great review but this pack seems a bit expensive for what your getting. No padding or ventilation ribs on the back....... I'll stick with my direct action dragon egg that I bought thanks to your recommendation.
Nice looking pack. A couple of things. I like packs with outside pockets to keep water bottles. I don't like liquids inside a pack. I see you have a stove, cook kit, mess kit but no food. Living off the land are we :-)
Hi, as always, AWSOME review! I know it is a different style of pack but do you prefer the Kifaru Urban Zippy over the Dragon Egg from Direct Action? I am torn between the: Kifaru "urban zippy", Kifaru X-Ray, TAD Fast EDC Pack and the "Dragon Egg". Purpose of use is mainly Urban & Travel EDC Pack. Would greatly appreciate any inputs...THANKS!
Actually although I wouldn’t pay $300.00 for that one. I like the muskeg I think it is. And wow by the time ya get everyone you’d want and need. Geez right at a grand it looked like. Ya I’ll stick with. Crazy.
Good video as always very informative. I would like to see a review on the Mil Spec Boss Beaver from you and what you think of that pack, great pack. Make it happen! Haha
One and a half hours for me but its totally worth it. I've been there to do cross country with a few of my friends. And I was wondering what place of Michigan do you live at, i live near metro Detroit.
Hey man, a while back you said you would do a review of the Warbonnet Blackbird hammock. Any update on that? Was really looking forward to it. Regardless, love the channel and thanks for the review on the Urban Zippy, was looking at either this or the Antero by Kifaru for EDC purposes.
+joe i probably said i would see what I could do. I know i've contacted them before to try to work something out so I could get one for review. never heard back. if I end up buying one I will surely bring it to the channel.
A great choice for my edc. In my city every other kid has a camo backpack on going too and from school. As well as some hipsters with a 8$ dbl. latte' in their hand. So if they don't offer Flecktarn then multi cam is perfect for me ; )
My Zippy is 7 years old now and you did an excellent review of it.👍🏼👍🏼

Really nice designed pack! Thanks for showcasing these. Will be considering one of these for an upcoming outdoor kit. Thanks Ben!
Kifaru makes great packs, stoves and shelters! Thumbs up! I have the Kifaru Paratipi, 4 and 6 man tipis.
What a great looking pack. Outstanding design and execution.
+Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors their stuff is top notch for sure.
Interesting design. I like how the straps are in multicam. Not so sure I like the wing pockets and pass through but this was a great review. Thanks for sharing.
I'm sure the quality doesn't come over on video compared to in person but still.... $299?! Budget buster right there.
CK Knife and Tool Kifaru is worth it, have 2 currently, had a Koala but sold it, that was a nice little bag!
Come on partner
Wow, another great pack. Those side wings are neat, im always rummaging through my pack to find the gear I need.
Awesome looking pack. Little bit pricey, but then again it's made in the USA so it's worth it for the quality.

thanks for checking it out.

Kifaru does make a fine product, i have always been happy with them, this is a great pack..............
+ben terwellen agreed 100%

A really nice backpack. Personally I use the 5.11 Rush 72 as a day pack/longer hike pack. But this is definitely a sweet backpack. Cheers mate!
+ArmoredGaming thanks for checking it out.
I also have a 511. Really well designed bags with allot of cool little storage places. My gripe with it is that it's a bit heavy
One sweet pack easy open compartment Nice gear as well in there Nice sheath by Matt from Grizzly outdoor!
i will be showing more from him soon. he has some stuff in the works for me ;)
Awesome I cant wait!
Too bad they don’t make it anymore try to find one
hey Ben nice to see ya look's like a great back like multi myself well nice to see ya atb tom
Ben, great review but this pack seems a bit expensive for what your getting. No padding or ventilation ribs on the back....... I'll stick with my direct action dragon egg that I bought thanks to your recommendation.
I've got the EMR II. Apparently, they are no longer being made
Kifaru Packs are top notch, listen to Aron Snyder a lot on the Gritty Bowmen podcasts.
+Abo Bushcraft yep, top notch for sure.
Nice looking pack.
A couple of things.
I like packs with outside pockets to keep water bottles. I don't like liquids inside a pack.
I see you have a stove, cook kit, mess kit but no food.

Did you get a new watch?
What's a scrubby
Hi, as always, AWSOME review!
I know it is a different style of pack but do you prefer the Kifaru Urban Zippy over the Dragon Egg from Direct Action?
I am torn between the:
Kifaru "urban zippy",
Kifaru X-Ray,
TAD Fast EDC Pack and the
"Dragon Egg".
Purpose of use is mainly Urban & Travel EDC Pack.
Would greatly appreciate any inputs...THANKS!
I'd travel with the Dragon Egg. The Kifaru holds more. Haven't tried the X-Ray or TAD packs.
Living Survival I have the X-RAY it's a great pack
Actually although I wouldn’t pay $300.00 for that one. I like the muskeg I think it is. And wow by the time ya get everyone you’d want and need. Geez right at a grand it looked like. Ya I’ll stick with. Crazy.
Good video as always very informative. I would like to see a review on the Mil Spec Boss Beaver from you and what you think of that pack, great pack. Make it happen! Haha
Get some ITW Web Dominators for the loose straps...
loved it's made in America but wtf is up with that price for that size and material
Andrew Gordon cost of labor. Americans won't work 6 days a week 14 hours a day for 50$ a day like other countries
Have you ever been to pickney state park in Michigan
It's pickney or Pinckney state park not sure but I live in Michigan too so I think that's awesome
+Martin Karpinski yep, i've been there. not too far from me.
One and a half hours for me but its totally worth it. I've been there to do cross country with a few of my friends. And I was wondering what place of Michigan do you live at, i live near metro Detroit.
Martin Karpinski Farmington Hills
ya i prerused the kifaru site a bit, WOW! who would pay these prices? crazy!
Crazy only if you’re used to shopping at Walmart for Chinese prices.
no crazy if your bank account is stretched to the max.@@livingsurvival

Living Survival did you get one yet
A great choice for my edc.
In my city every other kid has a camo backpack on going too and from school. As well as some hipsters with a 8$ dbl. latte' in their hand.
So if they don't offer Flecktarn then multi cam is perfect for me ; )
+PREPFORIT hah, true I guess camo is the new grey man.
How tall are you?
Looks like a great pack
cool day pack, thanks for sharing.
What's your opinion on the "Warrior assault systems X300 pack"?
I think it is great but highly overpriced
+TAP. Studios It looks nice but I can't really say without trying it on .
I got their ultralite duplex comin'
I didn't see an Anker Powerhouse in that pack.
+sportnatude23 haha, don't have one, don't want one.
Looks like a good pack but not 200$+ I figured this would be more affordable but I guess not.
Colin Chalk you are flat wrong
ok lol
Colin Chalk I'm just saying if you ever owned any Kifaru products you would know, they are built for life and beyond.
love da vids man keep it up bro and do u have a instagram
