Title: Eberlestock X2
Post by: flinger on September 03, 2018, 06:23:21 PM: Anyone have opinions
Been looking pretty hard at one just don't know if it's enough for 1 to 3 nighters

They are comfortable, but you cannot adjust the length of the frame for your torso. I am only 6’ and I could not effectively use the hip belt and have the shoulder straps as the pack was too short. Also, the load lifters don’t do a whole lot as they attach at the same point as the top of the shoulder strap, instead of a couple inches above. That being said, I ran one for a couple years as a day pack and liked it and I bet you could throw 30-40 pounds of meat in it to make one load out to the truck to get another pack.

Stepped up a bit and pulled the trigger on the eberlestock Just-One-Pack
