How often are you getting a new pack?

I bought my last pack in 2017, stone glacier x curve frame with a solo 3300 bag, I did switch to the 7800 bag but I think that was like 5-6 years ago now too.

I've had a Barneys frame for 10 years or so now but never got a bag for it.

I just picked up an early prototype of the k4x. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of people prematurely replacing packs once this thing gets out in the public. I don't know how he made it so much lighter AND stronger. It's pretty incredible. The new material is wild. Steve had samples in his office and told me to try and tear it. It's like 5 or 6 x stronger than cordura!

I'll for sure be upgrading to this for my goat hunt next year. Very excited!

I have been running a SG for about 5 years now and packed out several animals. Its starting to show some wear nothing too bad yet. Wondering how often everyone replaces their packs?

I generally get a new pack every year or maybe 2, and that’s just because I like trying them.

I am not shopping at all currently, since I got the k4, my curiosity of other packs has went away, and I like that. I will probably slow down to only buying new packs when exo releases new packs

I have always circled back to exo since their first gen, so I have decided to save some money and just stick with exo

New packs are fun (besides the ones that aren’t) but there are better places to spend extra dough

Can you elaborate on the bag size and configuration? Looking forward to this bag being released.

Bought a SG Krux Frame and bag in 2014 and will never buy another pack.

This will be the last one unless it just completely breaks or something.

That might make me retire my K3. It will be like losing a best friend.

Had a kuiu icon pro for a year and quickly realized that was NOT the pack for me. Going on probably 10 years with my current one.
