Well, took out the new EXO on a little "walk" for the last couple of days. 2000 vertical and about 5 miles in to a remote basin. Was also scouting some elk for my buddy who was to come and join me as I don't have the unit tag we are in. Go figure, the day I left, it was 75 degrees and this morning, it was a friggin blizzard. Idaho mountains in late august.......
The EXO just plain rocks. I love the lumbar pad, not real crazy about the reverse lid but I can live with it. No other real complaints. Perfect size pack for me and very easy to adjust. I have the meat shelf on mine and on a whim, I put my Swarovski 15 x 56's in the meat shelf on the same size as my tripod. So, I just unbuckle the side that the tripod is on and grab my swaros at the same time. Carries very nice there and puts them right in the middle of the back. I hate packing the things but man, when it's time to glass they are the best.

And there is a shitload of elk around................
