Stand strapped to the EXO K3 1800. Pack was empty so it’s a tad loose on the fitment but works quite well.

Nice! Looks like it fits very well.

Well I can tell you that grit is really nice in the rain, snow and sleet.I would gladly pay a few hundred more for USA made over Chy-Na made. Plus the Retrograde feels like 200 grit sandpaper.

I guess it’s not a complaint when it’s OOAL or EWO applying grit to their finish. The more grit, the better in my opinion, even more so with a stand vs platform/one stick.

The ceramic grit seems like it just soaked up all the paint that it was mixed with… anybody tried rattle canning the whole thing? Wonder if that would moderate the texture some.
Sounds like some people have soft hands to meBear in mind they are only the same style of finish, not the same finish.
These other companies’ textured finishes are not nearly as aggressive as what XOP uses. Hence, nobody is complaining about them. Whereas folks have complained that they have cut their hands on the XOP

So you don’t run it on the frame then?
I have packed out deer in regular old packs with no waist belt or frame and it sucked. Not as bad as dragging but close. Packed out a bunch of critters in the venture which has a good belt and frame sheet. That pack works really well esp. if you arent packing a critter much over a mile. A legit frame pack makes life monumentally better if you are packing big weight and/or long distance. I wont say perfect but an optimal whitetail specific pack hasnt been built yet imo. If you never pack a deer or legally cant quarter and pack them, then absolutely no, a frame pack is not needed.Do u guys really think u need that robust of carrying method ? Sticks and stand is like 12 pounds. I’ve been using cheap Allen gunslings for years…. Am I missing something
