Heard about these on the Rokslide podcast. To be fair, I have only used these bags once so far. I bought the, this fall in time for a September caribou hunt in Alaska. 3 people in my group and each of us had different bags so it was a great comparison. We had Pristine Venture TAG bags, Kuiu game bags and I also had a Kifaru Meat Bag. All bags perf Read more about Heard about these on the Rokslide

ormed relatively same in the field. The Kifaru Meat Bag was the best for the scrap meat riding in the center of by pack but it had the least features and being waterproof, didn't breathe real well. The Kuiu/PV/Argali bags all fit caribou quarters well and hunt on the meat pole well in camp although the added reflective features and additional tie-outs of the Kuiu and Argali bags were appreciated additions. The real difference was when we took the meat OUT of the bags and cleaned them (all together) in the washing machine. We pre-washed the bags with a garden hose so my buddies wife didn't file for divorce. We ran a little bleach in the washing machine and ran extra rise cycles. The Pristine Ventures bags came out looking almost new after the first wash and new after the 2nd wash. The Argali bags were 99% new after the 2nd wash but the Kuiu bags were still stained and had some biological material still stuck to the fabric after the 3rd wash cycle. The Kifaru Meat Bag came out new after the first cycle but it is basically a waterproof plastic bag so not surprising. After seeing the results of the trip, all three of us agreed the Argali were best when comparing price, features and performance. Now if Argali would come out with a tube back like the Kifaru Meat Bag then I would buy a replacement for that as well. Having 5 bags for a big animal is nice to keep things sorted. Excellent product, would certainly buy again if needed and will definitely recommend to others considering which are the best bags out there. The compact light weigh of the set is also much appreciated. I had no worries about them being "delicate" in nature and they held up well and not treated super careful.
