Thank you, I thought that is what he said I just couldn't find it.

Curious, was this all planned so I could spend my tax return money on this lovely bag?

It will definitely never be this clean and tidy again.View attachment 531662View attachment 531663

Damn I’m jealous! What was your order number??? I need to know when mine will get shipped

I wonder what was the design consideration for the new way the pack attaches to the frame? Seems more of a hassle than the K3 version, especially if you are wearing gloves.

Do you know if the K3 frames and bags will still be sold after the K4 launch?

Yes - the exo guys said K3 will be supported for a couple years.

Do you lose volume in the front stretch pocket of the 5000 over the 3600?

Yes, we will sell K3 Bags and components for a couple of years, or more (depending on demand).

The new bag detachment is super simple. Totally doable with gloves, but I am typically removing bulky gloves when it comes time to breaking down my pack and an animal.

We designed and tested a ton of bag/frame connections for this new frame, and obviously went with what performed best and functioned with simplicity. The older K3-style, tri-fold bag lip wouldn’t work on the new K4 frame geometry, as there is no horizontal frame bar/structure at the top of the K4 frame.

A little bit, yeah.

I appreciate all the effort that’s gone into designing this pack system and then answering our questions. I am excited to get ahold of one and test it!

Does the K4 come with all the necessary straps for using load shelf and strapping on a head?

Stupid question, when you measure for the hip belt, do suck your gut in or stay relaxed to get an accurate measurement

By "components", do you also mean frames? Or just things like replacement hipbelts, rifle carriers, and so on?

Absolutely

Not stupid at all. Don’t “suck in”, but try to add enough tension that soft tissue is compressed (similar to how it would be under the pack hipbelt).

 

[prm]

Absolutely

Thanks. Planning my order!
