Kifaru makes extremely well made packs that are mostly geared towards outdoor pursuits – hunting, hiking, tactical, and bushcraft. Over the years, they have made packs like the Antero (reviewed here) and the Urban Zippy that were advertised as EDC bags. However, they lacked the small item and modular organization that other manufacturers offered in their products. And, if you wanted to stick with Kifaru, they didn’t offer many EDC oriented accessories to kit out their bags; their 1000D and 500D organizer pockets being a notable exception. That is why I was pleasantly surprised to see them offer a new product called the Kifaru Chamber Slider.
Kifaru Chamber Slider Organizer
The Chamber Slider, made from 1/16” HDPE and 500d Cordura, is available in two versions. The Organizer panel featured in the picture above has a padded main compartment that will fit up to a 15-inch MacBook with a HDPE sheet sewn in that prevents the computer from hitting the floor when set down. It also has an admin panel and a stretch zippered pocket for chargers or loose items.
The Chamber Slider’s Admin Panel
The admin panel looks good. I would have preferred them to split one of the larger stretch pockets on the admin panel into two to allow for easier storage of more than one item of the “EDC Trinity” (knife, multitool, and flashlight) but that’s just my personal preference based on what I often carry. For some this setup will work well.
Kifaru Chamber Slider PALS
The Chamber Slider PALS features 8 rows of Molle with 6 columns of standard 1.5” PALS webbing. There are also two stay guides on the back that house two aluminum stays that can be bent and shaped. The stays add rigidity so you can attach something heavy like a concealed carry pistol or a larger knife.
Both versions of the Kifaru Chamber Slider will fit anywhere you can hang one of Kifaru’s chamber pockets. Other pack makers (Dunamis, Triple Aught Design, etc.) use similar attachment points so it would be interesting to see if the Chamber Sliders could be used with their bags. The PALS slider could also be used to add structure to packs that lack frame sheets. Both measure 17.5in / 44cm x 10.5in / 26cm.
The Kifaru Chamber Slider PALS and Organizer panel are $35 and $50 respectively. They are both available from Kifaru’s website.
