Jeff,

Great to hear from you. That’s a great question and one that probably is better answered by going and trying the pack on. I wish I could help you more with the fit. I will say that with the aluminum frame in the pack, there is only minimal adjustments (tightening shoulder straps and waist belts) that can be made to the fit. For what it’s worth, I’m 5’11” and 190 and it fits me well. It is a great pack and well worth your consideration. Best of luck in your search.

Ben

i am a man who weighs about 160 lbs, 5′-9″ max and finding a pac that works for out west for elk and mule deer as well as whitetails that fits me is difficult…i have been using a badlands pack and it performs well but not really happy with the storage set up but the pack fits me well….will the X2 be a pack that will fit those of us who hunt but are not big guys???

In reply to Craig Sande.

That’s good info Craig. I might try that tape idea. It’s a great pack with tons of room, but that creaking is a little annoying. Thanks for the insight.

Thanks for the article on the X2. I have used the pack over the past year and noted an annoying creak develop over time, noted with each step or upon drawing back on my bow – not good for stealth! It seemed to be coming from either the straps or corner pockets that wrap over the lower part of the frame. I wrapped the entire frame with black hockey stick tape and it completely eliminated the creaking sound.

In reply to Marc Nielsen. Thanks Marc. Sorry the site has been on the fritz. Glad you liked the review. This is a great pack and writing the review for quality products is very enjoyable. I've been following your duck hunts over on Tonto Ramblings and it looks like you have been having a blast. Take care and have fun. Ben

Great review Ben, I’m amazed at the amount of detail and work you put into these reviews, nice job. Also like the new layout, haven’t been able to get on for a few days, but I see the wait is worth it.
