Those medium belts went fast....

 

[bergie]

Happy to pounce on that quick! That bino bra is also very intriguing.

 

[Howler65]

Trying to get one but no Medium belt option...

 

[deadend88]

Now it’s time to find something to put the k4x to work on! Have a great weekend people!

 

[98XJRC]

Ordered, super pumped to give this thing a go this fall.

Try again. They're there now.

Well, I wasn't planning on spending $700 today... but I just couldn't resist. I went with the 3600. I wanna see how many days I can make it in that size pack.

 

[LFC911]

Order placed as well. Looking forward to seeing the new gear.

I've used my K4 3600 for a week, and plan to use this K4X 3600 for 9-11 days if I can get my grubby paws on it by Sept 2nd. Whats in my pack doesn't really change based on duration except food. I pack food in on the meat shelf in a food bag that I then use to hang it when needed anyway.

Try again. They're there now.

Hey Mark, out of curiosity how many of the prototype packs will be out in the wild once the batch 1 and batch 2 are sent? Is there going to be a mechanism for us to provide feedback after we get to use them this season?

 

[Rabbit46]

Order placed! Can’t wait.

Many hundreds. We'll dive more into specifics and summaries of testing data later.

And, yes, we will be in contact with people in the test group about how we will collect feedback, what we're looking for, etc.

Come on when is that 2nd drop…

Many hundreds. We'll dive more into specifics and summaries of testing data later.

Hey Mark,

Is there no option on these for a 23.5 frame? I do not see one when I am trying to pre order. That is my current K4 and it fits perfectly on me. If that is not possible, then I’ll just plan on sitting this out and waiting until the production of the k4x until next year. Thanks for any info.

 

[Mark at EXO]

Is there no option on these for a 23.5 frame?

Correct. We do not have 22 or 23.5 for this proto phase, but will offer those options for production in 2027.

This is the second mention I've seen on this site about a bino bra/harness/whatever from Exo. Is this a public project, or something that's still under wraps?

Starting a thread in General Discussion on best strategies to explain unexpected and sudden expenditures to your wife …

Ugh I somehow missed the email I was sent in May to submit my interest in ordering a test unit.

Just submitted that... but no order email yet. Hopefully i can still get one. @Mark at EXO

This product is something we have been using internally for years now. Essentially, it is a better suspension for any bino pouch/harness. We've used them with FHF, Marsupial, AGC, etc. To hear a bit more, skip to 1:04:32 in this podcast.

Ahh alright. I’ll double check my frame height when I get home and see if I want to order a taller one to test. Thanks for the info! Appreciate being included.
