@Dioni A Thanks for posting the pictures. I like the looks of the orange lid when the head is strapped with the antlers up for visibility/safety reasons.
Thanks for all the info on the new K4 Steve. I also have learned a lot from the MM episodes that you and Mark put on to help answer questions about it.
An orange lid or panel would be sweet for the K4. I currently use the FHF panel for my K3 and it works okay but it would be nice to have one that is actually compatible with the pack.
Early season: Kryptek Alaios
I agree Kryptek Alaios early to mid. Can wear a merino baselayer under them down to a pretty low temp. I like the Badlands Calor if it is really cold out even though they are heavier pants.
I did gain more speed with the new strings so there must've been quite a bit of stretch in them. Also, there was a lot of peep rotation like you mentioned Pramo.
I purchased the V3X 29 last year and I just replaced the strings this year with another set of zebra strings because it was starting to fray already. Have you had better luck with a different brand?
