K4 2200 Bag Only

Started off with a 5000 on my K4 frame when they came out and ran it that way for a couple years, just went lidless most of the time as we do a lot of day hunts hunting from a basecamp or quick overnighters; that was fine as the 5000 compresses way down.

Enter the 2200, looked like the perfect option for archery elk here in North Idaho, where we stay super mobile on road systems with the occasional over nighter here and there. I also love that it has the integrated lid and the scope pockets still.

I do wish however that it still had the full blown water bladder pocket for wet gear, more places to attach the stash pockets, and some kind of front stretch pocket. I’d take off a half star for that if I could.

I’ve had this pack for about 2 years and have used it for everything from light and fast spring bear hunts to archery elk to chasing winter wolves. It’s a perfect setup for day hunts through the fall; add the lid and you can easily squeeze a night or two out of it with the right gear or stretch it for true winter conditions.

I would never own just this pack! But if you already have a 5000 or bigger pack and want to get a more streamlined bag for day hunts and lighter work, this is the pack to get, no doubt.

Beauty bag, again the boys at Exo dont disappoint !

Great addition to the K4 kit, love the streamlined versatility, carries more gear than you would think. Easy to get through the thick brush, keeps the load snugly contained without the need to use the available compression straps. Slim profile makes it perfect for archery hunting. My every day full hunting kit runs at 27 lbs complete and this pack carries it extremely well, great organization, with everything in its place. Always have room to carry meat between the bag and frame. The K4 frame and suspension system is by far the most comfortable pack for carrying extremely heavy loads and I have used lots of different packs in my professional guiding career in Alaska. This pack gives me the ability at 71 to keep up with the younger hunters. I highly recommend this pack.

Love this bag for whitetail hunting. I am able to strap my lone wolf stand to the frame and set this bag on the seat strapped to it. Once I get to the tree it’s easy to get my stand off, climb the tree and pull the bag only up the tree to have my gear. I leave the frame on the ground as it’s one less thing hanging in the tree.

Absolutely love these products! They never fail to impress.
