I fell victim to Exo

I got the email about the color blems on the 2018 packs. Well, it took about 37 seconds for me to buy one. I have issues...
 
I have a kifaru and love it so the competition begins. Well not until I get the pack. I almost bought an Exo when they were first released but opted for a Kuiu. I always wonder how much better it was then the Kuiu. I have since sold the Kuiu and now get to scratch the itch.
 
I'm a sucker too!

I had decided on the k2 3500 before they announced the new packs were coming out. I thought I would just wait and get the 4800, but money's tight and I thought if it was good enough 2 months ago; why not now.

It is a great deal…
 
It’s the problem that you have when you don’t buy a item on a smoking hot deal. There has been a couple of times I bought 1 or 2 of this because it was a hot deal...should of bought everything and then resale it and probably still make a little coin
 
I always say I will sell things but never do. Just off the top of head I have a LPP, bow, Sitka pack, UA jacket and binoculars I need to off load. I had to have this pack and that’s what I’m telling my wife.
 
I have the k2 and was gunna upgrade but I seen one in person last week and I don’t think it’s worth the extra money to me. There is some features I like such as the lid and the front pocket but I’m sticking with the old one for now.

The guys running the booth at hoodoo were rude as hell, I don't think I will deal with them.
and it wasn't steve, it was some younger kid.
That's weird. I talked to the two guys running the hoodoo booth and they were super friendly. I wouldn't let a bad experience with an employee influence your opinion of the company. The owners are stand up guys for sure.
 
as rude as they were to me about running a Kuiu and my buddy about running an Initial ascent, yeah I think I will stay with those two companies. And I wasn't even there shooting, just came up for the day to pal around, I thought more of them and I know the owners are great guys, but I know they lost about 10 potential customers because of those two in the booth.
 
I think the new frame is intriguing and definitely worth a look.

I think they should’ve left the bags alone though...

I shot all four courses wearing my K2 3500 with my standard hunting load (25lbs.). Way more comfortable than the Kuiu Ultra 6000 I own but never use anymore. It would take more than a rude guy at a booth to make me switch back. As for the guys at Hoodoo, They were very nice and helpful with me. I just stopped to say Hi. While we were talking, they asked me how I liked my pack and I told them I have bought my last pack unless it gets stolen or catches fire. Then I mentioned that if I had any issue with the pack, it would be the belt buckle was a little weak. They told me that had been a problem that they upgraded since I bought mine. The younger guy started writing down his name and email so I could contact him for a replacement upgraded buckle and the other guy went into their trailer and dug around and found a new buckle and gave it to me. Not rude at all but very helpful even though I had not and was not going to buy anything.
Now for Kuiu, I BROKE the belt buckle on mine just tightening it. I contacted Kuiu "customer service" by email and asked about purchasing a replacement. They never even responded> Now that is "rude". If saying things about Kuiu packs is rude, then I guess I'm rude because my Kuiu squeaked like an old shoe and broke with no support from the company and was not nearly as comfortable as the EXO.
 
I put a better one on mine than the original that works but I don't use the pack anymore except to loan out.
 
I’ve never heard a negative customer service review on Exo. I use their bag on my kifaru frame and they were super cool about that. I wasn’t there or in the situation but maybe you caught the young guy as his girlfriend was running off with a guy in kuiu camo, lol.
