Thanks for the comments. As always you can send us email if you prefer as well.
On to the larger bag, I feel the 6300 is pretty large, but I am into meeting your needs. Is a 6300 not large enough for packing meat / cape / gear in ? Would you prefer having a bigger main chamber, exterior pockets to add volume, or a larger attachment (Like Talon / Lid or something )
The sample I have is integrated into a 6300 size bag. They are open, sort of stuff it pockets, so technically they don't count as volume, but many manufacturers do count it. It depends on how you count it. If counted, it would be 7200 - 7300 range.

I like the 6300, but start putting -30C down sleeping bags, LBO/BCS/stove combos, winter layers, a week+ food... And, no, there is no room for meat. I'm like Kute, in that I really don't like strapping or hanging stuff off the outside of the pack.
I'm not sure a Talon any larger than the current Day Talon would be the direction I'd go. Fill up even the 6300, strap a tripod or snowshoes under it, drop a full bladder into the pocket, and the Talon can end up 'back there' a ways as it is...
Personally, not sure on more pockets... with the organization the Multi-Lid and Day Talon add to the Evo system, I'd be happy with a larger version of the 6300. If I were designing it, it would gain a little in width and depth, but mainly additional height. Personally... Pockets would go over or under the side straps?
Love the pack overall, Kevin. Best I've owned or used, and that's been a few handfuls now. Appreciate you coming here for constructive criticism and listening to our hair-brained ideas!

This pic is for a friend (Gunslinger4570). He has the 6300 evo with the snow collar. Hopefully he'll chime in too, but I believe he was thinking a taller main bag (~7,500ci) would be the cat's meow as well.

Thanks for posting that Bruce. I just wanted to show how maxed out an Evo 6300 gets with half a sheep, cape and horns. I don't like having to lash my sleeping bag and tent on the outside where they get wet and snag while alder bashing.
I tend to pack pretty minimally, even when it's cold. The 6300 bag works but I wish I had more internal volume. A 7500 seems like it would be just right for what I do. As to whether I'd like taller or wider, I'd say both!

I agree with Wrongside on those points.
On the goat hunt I packed out my clothes, 2 four pound -18 C down sleeping bags, thermarest, pto, stove, fuel, spotter & tripod, two 8oz tyvex bivies, rifle, gps & spot, 3/4 of the meat and head. My daughter packed out her clothes, tent, thermarest, 1/4 of the meat and shoulder cape (her pack was 40lbs and it was 6.5km out).
She doesn't have a Paradox......yet:)

Thanks for the feedback. A smaller and larger Pack bag are on the horizon.
In the meantime our new Divide 4500 is already out. IMO, our design team, really did a fantastic job, with usability, durability, comfort and looks.
The Revolution (an updated Evolution) is on our site as well, but not priced out or photographed. It is mostly backward compatible with the Evo, but offers several improvements in our opinion. The pricing / and photos should be finalized in the next few days.
Good to hear the revolution will be compatible with the evolution.I have a few items i want to pick up from you so will wait till you are set to go and get the upgrade.
Does the Perigrine have top and bottom side release buckles that mate with the load shelf clips and the top side release clip, like other talons? I couldn't see any in the video.
It has the side release buckles, placement of the side is the same. Placement of the bottom is a little more wrapped around the bag. The top one will be integrated, but was not on this one
The Precipice, a new Pack Bag for the Revolution. This is a large volume pack available in two sizes. The largest is based on our 6300 with the addition of large pass through side pockets. A full length side zipper allows easy access to all your gear, or the ability to easily put game in the bag. This does not need a Talon, but can work with a talon. When used sans Talon, the rear compressions straps work well for carrying a bow or other gear. I am not sure, but one guide told me he thought this was the perfect sheep hunting pack for the arctic. I think it would be a very good choice.
