2024 Gear thread

So I can’t judge the weight cuz I don’t know how accurate the weights are on the nested stuff. But if we compare it to actual weights on custom gears setup which I know from experience the weights are a little off.

1.0 8.16 lbs bare add the seat cushion backpack straps etc… it comes up to about 9.5lbs
3 doubles ~5.25lbs add cam straps 6.5lbs
Wolf pack claim 2.4lbs I never weighed mine so I will take their number.

So… ~18.5 lbs for that setup and that does not include a waist belt.

Also… cost $1,260 compared to the $400

Not bad considering….

But… the nested stuff could potentially be a turd. Can’t tell till I get my hands on it’s. I do have high hopes for it though.

My money says you will be entirely dissatisfied. Seems like a fairly rigid system in terms of customization. Plus heavy, plus affiliation with rivers edge does not bode well for manufacturing precision…. Hope I am wrong!

Yeah that Rivers Edge deal was a massive brake check for me.

I have some $40 rivers edge stands for presets that didn’t seem to bad.
 
I may get the stand as a loaner if it pasts enkris review...

Seems like they’re threatening a $100 price hike. It’s introductory pricing right now, but are they shipping or is this like a pre-order deal? Could be a $300 stand by the time you get his review.

They said all orders will ship by the end of the week.

Gabe here, Nested's intro pricing was meant to go through the end of march. The inventory for complete systems was projected to last until then, however we launched it at the Iowa Deer classic and just about sold out right away... So what we're doing is taking emails on the website - when we get more inventory ready to ship (Hopefully mid-end of April) we will send everyone that signed up a promo code to get the Z8 System for $400 within a week of that email. After that we will keep the System priced at $550. We wanted to come out with the intro price to get some in peoples hands so they could use it, have reviews on it, etc... I appreciate the feedback reading through this thread and hope to change the minds of some people. The goal was to have a Quality system for mobile hunters to bring what they want in the woods, at a price that most people can afford. The warranty is 2 years, no questions asked.

Thanks for the clarifying post. You're gonna need to get the vendor badge for your account here and read up on the vendor rules in that section but good to have you. Hope you stick around.
