Exo Mountain K4?

[roosiebull]

You all cost me too much money!!! I already have a SG X-curve, and a Kifaru duplex. Now it looks like I have a K4 7200 coming.

The SG and kifaru will be good backup packs for people to wear when they are helping you on pack outs

 

[roosiebull]

Excited to get mine. Coyote frame, RG bag and lid!

Post pics when you get it, that sounds pretty snazzy

I'm so impressed with this pack that I just ordered a full K4 5000 setup to go with the packs EXO sent me to test.

Great job @ExoMtnGear

Pretty much seems like the perfect pack system. I was very excited about the pack, now that I have it I’m more excited about the pack, haha.

Packs and optics are my 2 favorite hunting toys, they are both just fun to use, especially going through the whole gamut of each… I’m more excited about my new pack than I was when I got my NL pures… when you have something that you really like, and there isn’t much room for improvement, but then you get something that proves you wrong… it’s a cool thing.

My wife is the only one of us with a bear tag, and I’m going to be like… we shouldn’t shoot that Bear because it’s only going to be like 80# quartered, and I really want to put more weight in this pack… if you really want to shoot it, it won’t make a good rug, but I’ll pack the cape out too, but ideally you should wait for one that’s about 120# quartered and I’ll take the cape on the second load

Received my 5000 today. Pics with 32# of early season gear (no food) which includes a liter of water in the Nalgene. Still tons of room in this thing. For kicks and grins I put 80# on it and walked a few laps around the neighborhood. Yep, I’m that guy.

Debating on buying a gun bearer or waiting for the rifle carrier that exo apparently has in the works.

Just picked up a 7200 for late season Alberta hunts! Excited for this pack to show up, Exo has done a great job building the suspense on this one. Didn't need a new pack till 2 weeks ago when I noticed this thread picking up some serious steam and then realized I didn't want to miss this train...
It's a lot of CAD$ but it looks like this system is made to last!

After much deliberation I went with the the Coyote. Na, I got a K4 on the way also. Thanks EXO folks for making badass packs and the transparency/communication on here.

Exo Mountain Gear K4 Review

I am highly interested to see what they come out with as far as a smaller pack like the 1800, and the K4 Crib Hauler design. The larger packs look great. I’ll probably pick up a 3600 eventually.

Picked up the 5000 in Fusion last night with some accessories. Excited for the smaller 1800-2000 bag to come out. Hopefully sooner then later.

Same here. I just bought the frame and I'm waiting to see what they come up with for a daypack.

Are there any lucky winners of the K4 pack giveaway today?

Good question.

Drawing and contacting the winners today. Once they're notified directly, they will be shared publicly. If a winner happens to have ordered already, we can just process a refund of the pack cost for them.

Does the 3600 have any noticeably better rain defense than the 5000 due to the horse shoe zipper on the larger bag?

Interesting question for sure. In theory, I'd say there is a benefit to the 3600s water-resistance, due to there being less zipper — and more importantly, less sewn seams. The vertical placement of the zippers/seams on the 3600/7200 should have some benefit as well, compared to the 5000 where water could sit/soak along the more horizontal seam and zipper at the top of the horseshoe.

However, I don't think the practical, real world difference would be "noticeably better" in most circumstances.

I was lucky enough to win one at the Alaska Wild Sheep Banquet by guessing the weight of a display pack. Thought I was set on my previous pack I had but my new K4 7200 arrived yesterday and I think it just may be the next best thing I didn't know I needed, I believe I would have had to purchase one regardless. Just ordered a handful of the accessories to go along with it and am really looking forward to the rifle carrier with how they have the hip belt set up.

Ordered a RG 5000 yesterday shortly after the link opened. Stoked to try it out and really appreciate all the engagement from Mark and Steve before the launch here on Rokslide!

Same here. And a RG Nalgene holder.

I will say, I don’t think I’ve ever received such an in depth Thanks for your purchase email from any company, ever. Not sure I’ve ever had the warm and fuzzies, and I KNOW I’ve never said it, but it was something I noticed. I’ve always had a great experience with S&S, so I shouldn’t be suprised.

Got my pre-order in today. Planning to take it out around the block with 80lbs here in a bit, but below are some pics of my 7200 with the coyote/ranger combo (requested by a few members). I know some others ordered theirs like this. This is a small belt, 26.5” frame. Head clearance on the 26.5” is similar to my old k3 tall frame In the low position due to not having the top horizontal titanium tube, as the Exo guys have mentioned previously. Just reinforcing that what they are saying is true.


First impressions are that this thing is the bees knees! Mark, Steve, Jake and the rest of the exo team, you guys are top notch, deliver great customer service and build an awesome pack! Hope I can send you some pics of it bloody this fall. Thanks!
