EXO K3 squeaky cure?

[IDMONK]

I have a K3 I bought new 4-5 yrs ago and have loved the crap out of thing. However it has gotten really squeaky, the heavier I load it the louder it is. Anyone have some ideas or pointers to remedy this? I have washed it with no luck has anyone else had this happen?

I don't have that pack but my old kuiu was bad squeaky. I fixed it with some athletic tape, mole skin and graphite powder. The trick was to locate where it was squeaking on the frame and tape it with something quiet. The graphite was messy and temporary but helped locate the problem areas. You could probably do that with water too.

Man I’ve got the same exact pack and problem… call them up, I sent mine in last year. They did something that really helped but there’s still a squeak that’s come back. Really aggregating because I’d like to use it for stalking deer and it can be noisy.
