EXO K4 Now or Wait for the EXO K4X

[coues32]

They confirmed 2027 on the podcast and maybe here too. It sounds like they have quite a few packs out in the wild right now being tested to have ready for the 2027 season.

Thanks

Can somebody tell me what fabric they’re using for the K4x? I’m too lazy to read through the whole thread. Thanks!

I believe it's proprietary as Steve wasn't happy with anything available.

Well how typical.

Because I just pulled the trigger on the k4 7200 today. Didn’t even realize there was a new one coming. Oh well

I don’t think it’s supposed to be released until atleast 2027

Sorry if I missed it but will there be lighter accessories for the bag and frame as well?

I am a weight weenie it would be nice to have the hip belt pouches made on the new material. Im also anti Nalgene (HEAVY haha) so it would be nice to have a smart water bottle holder on the belt. The current Nalgene holder is to large to hold a smart water bottle tight I have to put them in the pouches.

Well, at least you are aware that you have a problem.

My K4 has been awesome and can save weight in other places

I probably need to get a 3600bag. I’d like to see how much a new K4X bag weighs. Or I’d still like an externally pleated 2200.
