K4 bag question BRO bag? Prototype?

[nphunter]

Curious if anyone knows anything about this bag. It’s a K4 that says Born and Raised. Seems similar sized to my 5000 bag but looks like the 2400.

Was this a prototype or possibly a limited release? I’ve never really followed Exo, picked it up on FB. Seems like it will make a good daypack, I sold my 2400 because it was too small but liked the design, this might be the best of both worlds. I’ll have to weigh it but I’m guessing it’s also lighter than the roll top design.

They had a period of doing "BRO" bags. Limited, can't remember when they were doing it, 2-3 years ago I guess. Know a few guy's who got them.

They were made based on the wants of a pack from the Born and Raised crew. I had a 4800.

I remember the K3 bro bags, didn’t realize that it carried over into the K4. I ran a K3 4800 on my Kifaru frame.

Seems like a well thought out bag.

As others have said, limited run out there.

Not sure of actual size but somewhere in the 4K range I would speculate.

That is just a prototype bag I built for them back in 2023. I think we only made 5 or 10 of them and that was it.

Thanks for the info, seems like a cool bag.

Keep those of us in mind who prefer a bag like this design in the future.

I really like the look of the BRO prototype, if it was in the 3600 version, I don't think it'd ever leave my frame, as I think 3600 is a good "one size fits most" application size.

I have a K4 5000 for reference, but bought a SG 3600 solo and made it fit on the K4 frame, because I like the SG 3600 solo layout/simplicity better than the K4 3600.

I also realize it's probably a small market of guys who would want a pack layout like the BRO prototype, but I'm a buyer if one was ever to come to production.
