I've owned the k2, k3, and just ordered the k4. It's incredible how much thought you guys put into these packs and still sell at a very reasonable price point.
I had a great conversation with mark today it wasn’t hard to convince me to place my order on the new K4 5k I’ve done hours and hours of studying pack designs, features, materials and layout for me with experience running other packs and knowing what I don’t want it was and easy choice. As a business owner myself I appreciate your guy’s dedication to maintaining quality and customer service the bigger companies tend to lose quality. I’m excited to put mine to the test.
I’ve been doing a ton of research on packs, and I came across two guys who did a really great review on the k4. So, in going to buy it and see how well it works.
I listened to a recent podcast episode on the Backcountry Hunting podcast with Joseph VonBenidikt with you and Mark as quest. Highly informative but it’s nice to see a thorough video on your new K4 packs and frame.
Impressive Steve - I have purchased a 1800 K3 pack and it has performed great 👍🏻 Put me on your list next time you need performance testing on your packs. 😁 I had to ask! Thanks
Absolutely. We'd recommend grabbing additional locking buckles to make sure those awkward loads don’t slip at all. exomtngear.com/locker. And also if you get a large pile of sheds the strap extensions would be useful: exomtngear.com/collections/k4-accessories/products/k4-strap-extensions.
Thanks, Cole. We'd love to get up to Canada some day, but as a very small company of only 7 employees, we just don't have the staff to travel to many shows (even here in the US).
I love the design of this but the only con i can really see is the lack of molle on the straps, so if you were to design a better version thats all i could request
I was going to buy a multicam k3. Is there an eta on k4 multicam or is multicam being completely phased out? I know what every one is thinking too. Yes. Garand Thumb is one of your best salesmen.
Can you move the lumbar pad up and down on the frame or does it fit in one spot only? Do the sholder straps have the little shock absorber built in like the k3? What is the cost for a frame only? Thanks
K4 Frame Only price is the same as it was for K3, which is $375. You can make some minor adjustments in lumbar position, but there isn't meant to be a wide range of movement.
@@ExoMtnGear Awesome... thinking about packing in the shorter stays to convert from "haul" mode to day-pack mode. Really appreciate the fast feedback!! EXO ROX !!
That is a custom build. Defiance anTi-X action, 20" carbon barrel in 6.5 Creed, Thunderbeast Ultra 5 suppressor, MDT HNT26 chassis. Some more info on our chassis testing/comparisons here: exomtngear.com/chassis
We don't put a weight limit / restriction on the frame as it is built to handle well beyond any practical load someone can haul out of the mountains. From a practical standpoint I don't like to go over 115lbs on a single trip if I am at all in technical terrain. - Steve

Well done boys. Can’t wait.
Damn you definitely put some thought into the design, I am a super proud k3 owner, and definitely looking into the k4 7200
Appreciate the continued support!

Thanks, Adam! Glad to hear that 1800 is working well for you.
Can I use the straps from the frame to come around the pack and really tighten down a load of elk sheds?

Looks awesome guys, I love my k3 4800, any plans to come up to BC Canada in the future for some shows?

No more Multicam for K4, unfortunately.
Are there any plans to make a smaller bag? Something in the 1800-2500ci range?
Yes, we will have one out this summer in the 2000 to 2200 range.

Stoked.....What's the average weight of ONE 25" STAY ??

This is a little off topic but what rifle setup is Steve rocking at :52 into the video? Or I believe that is Steve

Will K3 packs work with the K4 frame?
Unfortunately not. There are so many differences with K4, the K3 stuff just isn’t compatible.
How much weight can it haul on it.
We don't put a weight limit / restriction on the frame as it is built to handle well beyond any practical load someone can haul out of the mountains. From a practical standpoint I don't like to go over 115lbs on a single trip if I am at all in technical terrain. - Steve
