Revolution Suspension Q and A

by **kevin_t** » Wed Dec 30, 2015 8:02 am

The Revolution has been discussed a little bit on other threads. This is an official Q and A. Photos and video should be available in the next few days.

What is the Revolution ?
- It is an updated functionally similar Evolution with many new features and capabilities added. It is mostly backwards compatible with an Evolution.

What pack bags will be available ?
- Several new bag styles will be available including Exposure and Peregrine in addition to our Fortress Roll Top pack bags.

What new features are included ?
- Horizontal Cross Stays to minimize back intrusion and prevent barreling . These also provide a slight air gap without impacting center of gravity
- Wider range of Torso fit and size and back padding re-oriented to be more like a Unaweep packs
- Added one common loop for additional compression options (Roll Top or Lid )
- Integrated haul loop
- Integrated sling style rifle carry
- Integrated rifle field rest / your milage may vary on this

What is different ?
- Pack bag attachments are slightly different . The Revolution is optimized for a 26 inch frame , but works well at 24 - 28.

What is backward compatible and not ?
- Some users may find older harnesses do not have long enough webbing depending on when they purchased a harness and what torso length they use. We will likely make and Evo to Revo upgrade package that includes all the little things and is slightly discounted for previous customers. Newer harnesses include daisy chains and some improvements.
- Pack bags fit, but might be a little different based on frame height.

What is weight ?
- Using our standard frame 2 lbs 10 ounces not including over the top strap. 2 lb 12 with Guide frame. We suspect minimum weight could be as low as 2 lb 3 ish if someone wanted to do that.

One question and one comment.

Question: Are the frames themselves the same?

Comment: Please do the upgrade kit (including new harness). I would be interested in this.

Cool, appreciate the clarification as the naming (the Guide designation in particular) had actually confused me looking at the site. I think it makes total sense though!

Can the Evo be used with it's pack bag and load shelf like that?

by **kevin_t** » Fri Jan 01, 2016 6:55 am

Yes but it is more fiddly . The Evo works best with items that are larger than the frame system like litters, of softer items since there is not cross support
