Anybody have the new version of the X2? Pros and cons compared to the original?
 
I had a version one and that was a huge pack. Way too big IMO and not very good strap system; too busy. I used it once and sold it. Went with the F5 switchblade instead and love that.
 
I just started using a V1 this season and love it. It’s great for carrying my tree climbing gear and warm clothes for cold days.

What is different about the v2? From what I can see, it doesn’t have Molle loops on top or the elastic cord on the large compartment. Anything else? For me, I like the Molle loops on top. I’ve never used the elastic draw cord but imagine it could be useful in certain situations.

It is a little bigger in capacity, frame is extended for taller folks, lid is floating, better zippers.
