Backpack month: Exo Mountain Gear Pack Review by Mark Huelsing (and win, too!)

[jm1607]

We don't have a dedicated pocket just for a water bladder. We do have webbing loops sewn on the frame panel, inside the bag and in each side pocket. Either one of those 4 places are great to hang a bladder.

Steve

I'm always scared to hang my bladder in the main pouch, so I squeeze it into the side pocket on the side that doesn't have my scope.. It barely fits lol.. I just hang it using a small carabiner onto the loop in the top of the pocket

I'm in . Let buying season begin

Just as one needs a family of tents/tarps I think the 3500 will perfectly compliment my T1 7500.

 

[Ben Nicholson]

I'm convinced. I'm getting on the waiting list now.

 

[Jarrod Renaud]

Ah so anxious to hear if my name is picked! Also so anxious to get the pack! Got a black bear hunt in Montana coming up first week of June... crossing my fingers I'll have the Exo by then.

All right fellas and ladies, we're wrapping up Backpack Month in the next 24 hours. If you still want to get on the pre-order list to be entered for the EXO giveaway, it's not too late. See the first post in this thread for the details. Good luck!

Next on the docket is Camp Month- a month of focus on all-things camp. We have articles ready to launch on Tents, Stoves, Quilts, and more. And of course we have thousands of dollars in giveaways in the pipe, too. Stay tuned!

I'm on the list but had contacted steve directly, not via the website. Regardless, i'm buying one anyway. Steve has been super helpful and professional in every contact. Seems like a good dude.

Jherald, didn't matter if you called or went through the site, you're entered!

[couesbitten]

I can't believe it, awesome! Very excited to get the pack and put it through the paces. A buddy texted me and asked me if I got a new pack, said that another buddy had posted something about my new pack, told him I didn't know what they were talking about. Needless to say, I am very excited and extremely grateful to Steve at EXO and Robby and the guys here at Rokslide for this. Thank you all!

 

[Yeti]

WOW! Thank you ,I can't wait to add these accessories to my order. As couesbitten said I'm extremely grateful to Steve and Rokslide for this.

Thanks again, Matt

[S&S ARCHERY]

Congratulations guys. I've already talked with couesbitten but Yeti give me a call when you get a chance and let me know what accessory you would like to pick up?

Thanks,
Steve
