I see @ExoMtnGear is now marketing to target the wives for an easier sale

Where is this 2lbs less information coming from? I haven't been able to find that mentioned anywhere but this thread

The newest prototype frame is 2.5 lbs. my total pack weight with the 6,000 cu in. bag is 4 lbs 5 oz.

So the K4 5,000 is listed at 5 lbs 13 oz and the 7,200 is listed at 5 lbs 15 oz. So about about a 1.5 lb saving if you are looking at the bag and frame combined.

But with the added benefits of the new fabric, as well as little improvements to K4.

6000 is what im looking for. Hope they sell it.

How is the water resistance comparatively? I have been overall impressed with the k4 bag material so far however it saturates after so long.

Was the 6000 still a side zip and roll top or is a horseshoe and roll top?

Side Zip and Roll Top, but it's only a prototype and spec'd to my preferences. Will have to wait and see for final designs.

Does not saturate, atleast the materials I've used. The latest material I have not seen personally yet.

Hahaha right after I snag a K4… of course lol it’s all good I love my pack probably won’t worry about the new 4x for a while

 

[NMNomad]

I was not aware there is going to be a new rendition of the k4. I'll be waiting to purchase that system, myself.

The weight savings would be welcomed, but a different bag design has my interest. Fewer straps overlapping zippers.

I want the teratorn in this new and improved material and weight

Serious question- are the gaiters really helping here or is it a fashion statement?

Socks or bare foot in the shoe?

Ah.. you’re not versed in the Alaskan river crossing secret weapon. There’s crocs under those gaiters. Gaiters make sure they stay on and also give protection while bushwhacking through wet terrain.

That would be ideal for me as well

When do you put the clothes back on? At the truck?

After my partner pats me dry. We have an understanding.
