I had a great conversation with mark today it wasn’t hard to convince me to place my order on the new K4 5k I’ve done hours and hours of studying pack designs, features, materials and layout for me with experience running other packs and knowing what I don’t want it was and easy choice. As a business owner myself I appreciate your guy’s dedication to maintaining quality and customer service the bigger companies tend to lose quality. I’m excited to put mine to the test.
Appreciate the feedback and support!
I've owned the k2, k3, and just ordered the k4. It's incredible how much thought you guys put into these packs and still sell at a very reasonable price point.
Well done boys. Can’t wait.
I listened to a recent podcast episode on the Backcountry Hunting podcast with Joseph VonBenidikt with you and Mark as quest. Highly informative but it’s nice to see a thorough video on your new K4 packs and frame.
Damn you definitely put some thought into the design, I am a super proud k3 owner, and definitely looking into the k4 7200
Appreciate the continued support!
Impressive Steve - I have purchased a 1800 K3 pack and it has performed great 👍🏻 Put me on your list next time you need performance testing on your packs. 😁 I had to ask! Thanks
Thanks, Adam! Glad to hear that 1800 is working well for you.
Looks awesome guys, I love my k3 4800, any plans to come up to BC Canada in the future for some shows?
Thanks, Cole. We'd love to get up to Canada some day, but as a very small company of only 7 employees, we just don't have the staff to travel to many shows (even here in the US).
Can you move the lumbar pad up and down on the frame or does it fit in one spot only? Do the sholder straps have the little shock absorber built in like the k3? What is the cost for a frame only? Thanks
K4 Frame Only price is the same as it was for K3, which is $375. You can make some minor adjustments in lumbar position, but there isn't meant to be a wide range of movement.
Can I use the straps from the frame to come around the pack and really tighten down a load of elk sheds?
Absolutely. We'd recommend grabbing additional locking buckles to make sure those awkward loads don’t slip at all. exomtngear.com/locker. And also if you get a large pile of sheds the strap extensions would be useful: exomtngear.com/collections/k4-accessories/products/k4-strap-extensions.
Are there any plans to make a smaller bag? Something in the 1800-2500ci range?
Yes, we will have one out this summer in the 2000 to 2200 range.
I love the design of this but the only con i can really see is the lack of molle on the straps, so if you were to design a better version thats all i could request
This is a little off topic but what rifle setup is Steve rocking at :52 into the video? Or I believe that is Steve
That is a custom build. Defiance anTi-X action, 20" carbon barrel in 6.5 Creed, Thunderbeast Ultra 5 suppressor, MDT HNT26 chassis. Some more info on our chassis testing/comparisons here: exomtngear.com/chassis
@@ExoMtnGear 👍🏼
Will K3 packs work with the K4 frame?
Unfortunately not. There are so many differences with K4, the K3 stuff just isn’t compatible.
I was going to buy a multicam k3. Is there an eta on k4 multicam or is multicam being completely phased out?
I know what every one is thinking too. Yes. Garand Thumb is one of your best salesmen.
No more Multicam for K4, unfortunately.
Stoked.....What's the average weight of ONE 25" STAY ??
3.2 oz per stay.
@@ExoMtnGear Awesome... thinking about packing in the shorter stays to convert from "haul" mode to day-pack mode. Really appreciate the fast feedback!!
EXO ROX !!
How much weight can it haul on it.
We don't put a weight limit / restriction on the frame as it is built to handle well beyond any practical load someone can haul out of the mountains. From a practical standpoint I don't like to go over 115lbs on a single trip if I am at all in technical terrain. - Steve
