Hip belt Help - Exo K3

[loadsandlattes]

Hey fellas.

I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on an Exo K3 3200 as my do-it-all pack. I don’t do anything more than 3-5 days, and if I ever do it’s easy enough to purchase a larger bag to go on the frame.

The trouble I’m running into is the pack belt. I’m a 32 waist. I understand their SM is up to 33, but I wanted to seek the hive mind here and ask you folks what you ran into. Should I be ok even if I add a layer or two, or should I go with the MED belt and expect it to cinch down tight enough?

I’d call them but certain they’ll say go small. I wish I did!

Thanks for the heads up, Menhaden.

Yessir. I’ve been doing research for weeks now. Trying to get something in before the end of mule deer season and before an Aoudad hunt in January. Their podcast has been super helpful in a lot of ways as well. Sometimes you just know when you found a good product and company!
