X2 - OUTLET

X2 is a super comfortable day pack or overnight option

Although I already have a number of Eberlestock packs, the X2 at half price was too good to pass up. It has been with me on one day hunt so far and I appreciated the way the “bat wing” sides folded in and compressed for a compact low drag profile when loaded light. The frame gives confidence in the structure when loading out heavy and the straps, belt, and lumbar pad make it easy to direct the load through your hips and it is super comfortable. The only improvement I would suggest is a broader “skirt” around the base of the top lid which would help shed water and forest debris away from the body of the bag a little better. I have historically used the Eberlestock Gunslinger as my overnight option (with tent stashed in the gun scabbard) but I am looking forward to setting up the X2 for those missions too.

Great bang for your buck backpack

I have owned many of the big name backpack brands while hunting Archery elk DIY the last 25 years. This pack will most likely be used more for packing Midwest Whitetail, and accompany me on my annual trip to the big island Hawaii to pack, sheep, goats, and hogs. Although I haven’t had a chance to really work it out in the field yet, I have worn it around home and when hiking on my farm a couple of times. I purchased this pack in the outlet on sale, and it was a great value for the price. It is very well-made, very quiet, and extremely well thought out with all the extra user-friendly compartments and molle loops. The pack fits comfortably snug up to my back, and since I am fairly short torso, it fits my build perfectly. Awesome pack I look forward to using this fall.

X2

The X2 is a great all around backpack. Can be used in the Midwest for carrying tree stands, tools, stools, bows or packing out meat. Great for whitetail hunting and can be used for short Elk hunting excursions. The new model has been improved to fit a longer torso. My grandsons will use my old model now after I purchased the new one.
