K4 Christmas Giveaway

As we thought about ways to say thank you to everyone who supported the launch of our K4 Pack Systems this year, we thought it would be fun to randomly draw the names of customers who purchased a K4 Pack this year, and give them an unexpected Christmas surprise.

As a small, independent company, the support of our customers truly means the world to us. We feel incredibly fortunate to make gear that we are passionate about designing, building, and using for our own hunts — and to do it all here in the USA.

To everyone who has supported Exo in any way, we sincerely want to thank you. We are wishing you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year that is full of adventure!

—Steve, Mark, Jake, Patrick, Jack, Omar, and Bela.

Grand Prize — Custom Hunting Rifle

Earlier this year Mark from Exo Mtn Gear shared an in-depth review of his "perfect rifle for backpack hunting". This is a rifle that Mark built after years of research and first-hand experience using various rifle systems.

The grand prize for this giveaway is a rifle like Mark's, in the cartridge of the winner's choice.

Swarovski EL Range T/A Binoculars

"I can't imagine rifle hunting without the EL Range binoculars. You get the optical quality expected from high-end Swarovski glass, combined with quick ranging and a customized ballistic solution. I love the simplicity of being able to locate, range, dial, and shoot." —Steve

Custom Chris Reeve Knife

"I drooled over Chris Reeve knives for more than a decade, but it wasn't until Exo moved offices and became neighbors with the CRK shop that I was able to see and fully appreciate the attention to detail and craftsmanship that goes into building each Chris Reeve knife. I have been carrying an Inkosi every day for years now; it is a knife that I cherish each time I use it, and look forward to passing it down to my son someday." —Mark

Canis Alps Down Jacket

"The Alps Down Jacket is toasty warm, and unlike a lot of down jackets, it doesn't skimp on durability. Ever since taking the Alps on my Alaska Dall Sheep hunt in 2022, it has been one of my go-to pieces for cold conditions." —Steve

Aziak Backcountry Lite Tripod & Ball Head

"This tripod and ball head is one of my favorite new pieces of gear in 2023. After using it on my Alaska Dall Sheep hunt, as well as my rifle elk hunt, it provided incredibly valuable for glassing with my binos, my 65mm spotter, and to shoot from. It is very compact and lightweight, yet remains incredibly stable for such an ultralight setup." —Mark

Congrats to the winner, Scott G., who purchased his K4 5000 in March.
