Hey guys, welcome back to another Gear Pro. Very exciting day here at HQ. We have the highly anticipated new X2s. So we have our new version 2 X2. And in this video, I’m going to break down the differences between my old X2 and our new one.
Increased Torso Height
So right off the bat here, folks, you can see we’ve added two inches of torso height to the X2 to accommodate more standard sizes. We still have the airflow mesh vent system here. This way to keep airflow between your back and the pack. So you’re not sweating on the pack out here. You’ll also notice that we’ve replaced our standard and more durable YKK zippers on your side pockets here.
Expanded Hood Pocket
And now another big key difference that I really like is this hood pocket. We’ve expanded the hood pocket on it to hold a lot more volume and have great access to the back here. So you can throw in a lot of quick access items.
Floating Top Lid
Another important difference is that there is now a floating top lid and so you can use those ladder locks here to loosen or tighten the frame if you have some long items sticking out of your main pack. This allows you to separate something here. The center here, like a quarter shank, might be a tripod in your middle box. Either way, your blade will now be able to extend out of the way.
Two-Tone Stretch Pocket
Moving to the front of the pack, we have a two-tone stretch pocket on the front for a few other quick-access items. We also have this strap right here that allows you to have one, this stretch pocket up, while also another way to keep this bungee cinch cord down over your main compartment. Just two different things you can do with this buckle.
Front Side Zipper
Another thing we’ve added, instead of just top access to your main compartment, we’ve also added this front side zipper for front access to your main compartment. This will allow you to get to the lower items you have a little quicker.
Stretch Pocket and Side Pouches
We have a stretch pocket on the inside, which is attached to both of your wings. And then with our side pouches out here, the half is a stretch material. So you can fit a tripod head in here, big trekking pole handles, big Nalgene bottles, what have you, still with a cinch cord to secure it.
Centralized Hydration Carry
And then finally, what we’ve changed is that instead of carrying your hydration in these side wings, now you’re going to have a sleeve here in the back of the main compartment, so you have your heavy There will be a more centralized carry of weight. water bladder. Here are the ports on the side corners of your main compartment.
Scabbard Attachment
Finally guys, a lot of people ask if you can add a scabbard to the X2. You can, just like of old. We have molly webbing on the side of the main compartment where you can molly over our standard bolt action scabbard if you want to carry the rifle that way.
