Had a KUIU Icon 7000 for years, many great trips and memories. Returned from Colorado 2 weeks ago from an archery mule deer hunt and for the first time ever forced to check my pack (American air). I removed my optics and let them check it. On arrival the frame was broken. With a trip of a lifetime AY moose archery float hunt coming up next week I figured buying a new pack my only option and started looking. At the same time I sent a photo of the broken frame to KUIU ( before I knew of the tragic loss of Jason Hairston) to ask if there was a quick fix or could I just buy an old pack. To my surprise Tim Ruiz of Warranty Services told me my pack was covered and a new one was on the way in time for my hunt. It arrived today. Had a similar experience with Badlands once, grateful as hell there are people in the outdoor world who walk the walk.

Good to know. Just noticed cracks in buckle on icon pro belt on elk hunt. I really like the pack.

Good to hear. I have an Icon Pro with the Velcro peeling off the shoulder straps and one of the metal hooks is bending. I was going to call on the day that Jason died but thought that was the least of their problems. Might call tomorrow.

I found Kuiu's customer service to be lacking honesty.

I’ve sure seen better CS. The girl got the job done but was about as friendly and informative as a tree trunk . I had some questions but with her one word answers then silence figured I wouldn’t bother any longer.
