Zippered pocket on the front of the 3500 and 5500 from Exo. Bladder sleeve separate from main compartment, accessible from the top. Both bags are now roll top closures like the 2000 but they have the lid standard. Made the Velcro attachment points for the shoulder straps to the frame a little longer for those long torso guys who were running it to the limit on adjustments. Think that covers most of it.

Thats pretty much what I got from it when I talked to Lenny. This was the first time I have gotten my hands on an EXO and I have to say I am impressed. They are light, comfortable and the customer service was outstanding. Lenny was super helpful and talked to me for 20 minutes even after I told him I wasn't interested in getting a pack that day. I can tell you if I had of had the money, I would of left that building with an EXO pack.

These were my feelings as well. Lenny was super friendly and willing to answer any questions. Good guys and impressive packs.

Well, it all depends on what kind of magazines he took with him in there.................
And do they have transgender restrooms there?:) That might tell you something.

Randy

He's got a backpack full of something now that you mention it, it probably has magazines. It would be great if they had transgender bathrooms then I wouldn't have to go in after he's been in one

Here it is: Fury rangefinder/bino & A few size comparisons. I don't think it's bulky. Glass is good at an equivalent Viper HD level, not quite Razor but close. Of course it views great under all these lights.
Top button is your range, bottom button is your mode. I love that it gives you one number in the viewfinder corrected for angle. Way less than confusing than display with two numbers
Available July. $1200ish
Almost no excuse now to carry an optic and a rangefinder separately

Pretty impressive. Almost as impressive as the model.

I put a pack overview up over on the backpack forum. Some highlights of that and random thoughts:

Stone Glacier X Curve felt really, really good. Light and solid.

Exo has features and an overall package which is impressively coherent for such a young company. I found the shoulder harness attachment and narrow belt attachment to combine and make the pack feel vague and tippy. They didn't have weight to use, so under load that could be a non-issue.

Outdoorsmans Optics Hunter is oddly appealing. Lid is fantastic. Anyone have a used one they want to sell me cheapish?

Maven 15s seemed to have waay less eye relief than claimed. With glasses they were not useable for me.

Kryptek clothing seems much better than previous generations, less spandex and odd pockets. Got to keep up with Sitka and Kuiu.

Kuiu Ultra Star is laughably tiny. The Mountain Star seemed very solid and quite practical.

Kuiu Peloton 200 feels like powerstretch without the spandex, which is pretty awesome.

Overall, fun stuff.
