Eberlestock X2

Designed to carry outsized loads through the use of four compression straps, the new X2 pack from Eberlestock is loaded with hunter-friendly features.

The X2 has two panier-type side pockets (pockets will easily hold gear like spotting scopes and tripods) and an aggressive ventilated back panel. A ButtBucket system can be added, which features Eberlestock's Ripcord tether system, a system that allows on-the-fly access to your bow.
