grey curse Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Just curious why there are so many showing up for sale in the last few weeks. Was looking at trading in my eberlestock for one or a mystery ranch. Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZ_SAWBUCK Report post Posted February 28, 2017 I have the Icon 7200 and absolutely love it! I havn't found a backpack that is completely perfect but this one is pretty darn close. Pros: Rides really nice, and feels ridged on back Can be compressed like a daypack or expanded to haul a full backpack camp and a boned out Coues Lots of pockets inside and out to organize gear Cons: Pulls on zippers could be a little stouter Rainfly should be included as part of the pack Bottom side pockets should be made out of tougher material (possibly the same as bottom) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grey curse Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Thanks for the replies guys. The eberlestock packs are bomb proof imo but weigh a ton even empty. And I always have the wants for new gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues Sniper Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Packs are kind of like bows in that they are very subjective. All the bags mentioned above are great, just different people have differnet needs/opinions. The Kuiu bag I have is the best bag I've ever had, IMO. I too was concerned about durability, but its held up much better than I thought it would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
