Anyone else on the fence about buying a new K4 now or waiting for the new K4X to come out next year? I just sold my K3 that I absolutely loved but I was one of the few that was a victim of pack slip or I would’ve kept it. I can’t decide if I want to get the K4 during their Black Friday sale this year or just wait for the new K4X
 
I’m in the same boat. I’m currently using a 6400 k3 and I just don’t have enough space for 10 day self supported sheep hunts. Looks like the new k4x has a k3 configuration which I prefer. Hoping they’ll have a 7200 bag option.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I had plus the 3200 bag. I tried the extra lumbar kit with more shims and could not make the thing stay up with weight over 40lbs. Sounds like the only option for it currently is a 4000 bag based on Steve’s moose hunting gear video the other day. I didn’t hear about the K3 bag compatibility though, so maybe you know more than I do about it. Lol
 
Exact same position. I’m leaning towards waiting for the K4X right now. Hoping it’s available for the Western Hunt Expo. I don’t buy packs very often, I’d rather get the one I really want and 2 lbs lighter is worth it to me.

exo posted a photo on their instagram. It looks to me at least like a k3 configuration with the front stretch pocket and side pockets. And yeah I think it’s only k4 compatible which probably isn’t a bad thing.

I agree and in the video he said it’s significantly more water resistant as well which will help out a lot. I’ve got about a month and a half to think about it. Once the Black Friday sale hits I might not be able to stop myself from getting the K4. Right now I’m without a backpacking pack so I might not be able to wait too long.
 
That makes the most sense. It’s all gonna boil down to the BF sale for me. I don’t think I’ll regret it whichever route I go, but 2lbs is a huge savings
Have someone else load your pack so you do not know whether it is 40 or 42 pounds, put it on, and try to tell the difference. Unless you have a strict weight limit like for air transport, 2 pounds will not make or break your hunt.

Buy the K4 at the BF sale.
 
Totally new design? Or same design but in UltraPE/similar?
I honestly don’t know. Steve hasn’t released all the details yet and probably won’t until 2026. But since he’s keeping the K4 name instead of calling it K5 it makes me believe that it’s probably the same frame design with slimmed down materials that are lighter weight
