I new this could be done as other have talked about it, but I was not sure what would be needed to do it. Turns out nothing is needed that does not come with the frame or bag (unless you want to run a lid). Beyond people saying they had done it, I could not find anything showing how it looked.

The Exo frame is significantly narrower at the bottom, resulting in the SO frame sticking out on either side of the bag.

The bottom of the bag easily secures to the frame by wrapping the webbing around the frames tubing before routing it through the triglide and ladder lock on the bag.

The top of the bag can be secured to the top of the frame as it would be on the K3 frame.

Because the Revolution frame does not have a top loop like the K3, this holds the bag to the frame, but does not transfer much weight to the top of the frame. This could easily be fixed by connecting the webbing loop on the top of the frame to the webbing loop on the top of the bag.

The compression straps provided with the SO frame work with the Exo bag without any modifications.

I already had the Exo bag, and I needed a second frame for my wife after giving my K2 to my brother-in-law as a thank you for letting me use his skiff and vehicles for a hunt in August. I like the K3, but wanted to give SO a try. So that is how I got to this.
