Eberlestock X2

[Fridaythe13th]

I have found a Eberlestock X2 Mossy oak brush only use once. What would be a fare price? I see there $199 new. How do they compare to the Badlands 2200. Any pros or cons that would be helpful. The only thing I found so far is they don't fit taller people. And the Frames digs into some people back when the load is over 50 lbs. Is any of this true? I'm 6'2" 235 lbs

I have an X2 and like it. Does not have a lot of little pockets, but the big main center section is great cause you can put a lot of various sized items in there. I usually try and stack my gear in there in order of potential need.

You might have a problem with the torso. I am 5'8" and it is fine for me, but my buddy who is 6'3" can't it to fit. I haven't had enough weight in it to cause it the frame to dig in to my hip, but it is pretty close and I could see it being a problem for some.

Might see if you can find one to try on before you buy.

Also the older ones had some issues with the bags squeaking on the frame. Can be fixed with some duct tape.

Good luck!

Thank you Rangenz: This person wanted $130 I was hoping to talk him down to $100. But I'm starting to think I'm to tall. There was a couple guy said they were 6'5" and the pack fit. I just don't know.

Price seems reasonable. Any place you can get a torso measurement and check that with their specs on the pack?
