Thanks. As you probably know there is a sale on for Kifaru internal frame packs (Minikeg, 357mag, Kutthroat). It's no good to me if I can't fit a platform in the bag. I've a few platform options, favoring the RidgeRunner XL and Fix.
I'd have bought a Minikeg, were it all cordura. Shiny X-pac makes no sense, unless it's applied to the whole bag for waterproofing.
The 44mag fits a RidgeRunner XL, but it's more than I need.
I think, or rather, hope, Exo will make a "whitetail" setup at some point. The bag lineup is Western focused and not to my taste. But I may try the frame as an attachment to my .5...except the Seek Outside Revolution (with Merlin Talon) is the bomb already with that. (Minus camo fabric). Idk. I think Steve at Exo was laser focused with the K4 frame build. But the Seek frame is legit for this purpose and even more lightweight (marginally I suppose).
Ramblings.
How do you feel the K4 vents compared to the Duplex Lite? The DL is the best venting frame I've used.
