Eberlestock packs

Postby sojurner 65 » 07 31, 2014 •  [Post 1]

I am thinking of getting the V90 pack. Anybody have one or cares to offer their opinion? We plan on staying out 5-6 days at a time.

I just started using an X2, and I'm impressed with the pack's versatility and the quality of material and workmanship. The V90 looks like a hell of a pack, and my guess is you won't be disappointed if you get one. Just my $0.02 worth. :)

Thanks for the reply. I opted to go with the JP9 Blue Widow pack and added the Spike Camp duffel.

I have an X2 as well. Really like it. Just be careful and make sure you try one first. Some tall guys have problems with the fit.

I'm 5'10" and high-waisted. The X2's waist belt is perfect on me, but I can understand how it would ride high on taller guys.

The X2 is simply not big enough at only 1800 C. I. for my needs. Looked like a good pack for a couple of days but we're planning 5 - 6 days back. The JP9 with the attached bow holder and duffel bag option works best for me.

Had my blue widow for a couple mile hike with 75 lbs in it and was extremely pleased with how well it carried after some of the poor reviews on another forum. Felt just as comfortable as a frame hauler.

I love my X2 - I dont tote the kitchen sink at any point so it works great for me. Alone it wont carry the sink but I can add a duffle to the front which if I were carrying the sink - - would fit
