Wish they offered coyote brown or multicam in the new ark frame instead of just ranger green.

[@Montblanc1986]

Make multicam great again

Very informative, but please turn on the lights so we can see the product. Video is very dark when backlit like this.

What are the sizes of the ARK and Duplex Lite frames being compared is this video? They look to be pretty much the same size. I'm assuming this is the 25" ARK and the 24" Duplex Lite as the stays in the 24" Lite are actually 25 inches long.

I just bought the duplex light with the black friday sale.... Thanks

[@ggpaintballer]

Why drop the second common loop on the bottom? It can't cost or weigh much of anything. Is this going to work with an older bag and a grab it?

[@gphiliph2793]

Can the new ARK belt be installed on the duplex lite frame? thank you

[@lanceschultz7132]

Im curious about the angle of the load lifter compared frame to frame. Will there be a difference due to the height/length diff? It looks that the Arc will have less angle

Innovation at its finest.

[@JN-rw6qo]

As you demonstrated the twisting capabilities of the lite frame- you verbally were saying the Ark was better? Did you mean the Lite can twist better than the Ark?

[@TonyMcC96]

Love RG , but MC or another camo pattern would be awesome in the future

[@jonathanmiller3613]

I have a 24" Duplex Lite. I'm 5'8" and 190. Which size Ark should I lean towards?

[@Slatari]

Is there going to be a pre order or just hit the website on the 15th?

[@anderschristianson1161]

No pre orders but best to sign up for our emails, or the back in stock notification on the product page.

[@CircumambulationMaedia]

Can I swap the tactical frame I just bought for the ARK?

[@flyboy8046]

Same

[@Rossmanchurn]

Same!!!

[@ecmo2007]

A bit frustrating that I just recently bought the tactical and only due to it being 22"

[@Rossmanchurn]

Same

Kind of disappointed I bought the duplex lite literally 30 days ago and now I can’t return it for the ark 😭

[@alaskatruoutdoors9238]

Yup, my next pack right there.

[@loopmtz]

Sweet

[@brewclanbrewer4059]

Aron , I have the aluminum staves and have them bent significantly for comfort and not killing my lower back,,,, comment

[@khomatech6428]

Stays > no stays.

[@yeahOh1985]

Just take my money!😂

[@jasperweaver3563]

It looks like a far simpler design. Makes you wonder why it's $50 more than the duplex...

[@PhotolabStudios]

Not much to wonder. It's a completely new frame system, all Carbon. Carbon is expensive, especially USA carbon. All new foam in the shoulder straps and belt too. Duplex is HDPE and Aluminum/Composite Stays. $50 is pretty minimal for the innovation.
