Almost..... There....

Went on a trip to southern Colorado this weekend got some awesome testing in and got some good ideas flowing I'll be working on the new pack the AssaultXTR Over the week in between my classes it's looking like when it debuts there will be some basic changes the xtr wil be offered this is a X2 but with more features as well as double padding on the straps and waistbelt. I will also offer the Assault the X2 and a new x3 " basicaly the uber but slightly reshapes to be more ergonomic" in bare bones i will start taking orders again next week the standard wait pereiod will be 1-3 weeks. Prices should be in the range of 120$-130$ for the XTR and 90 for the barebones assault, X2 and X3

Update

Currently I am the procces of modifying and improving some things about the packs namely the shoulder straps and compression system as
Well as a few other things this will take a couple weeks for me to prototype designs and refine the packs so I won't be taking orders for a week or too also I am most likely switching to xpac As well

ASSAULT X2 TEAR IT UP










Well here it is the assaultx2 its more popular then i could have ever imagined I've built 3 in the last week in varying fabrics with varying features this pack is still evolving and its what i will be improving upon in the next couple weeks you can expect to see a slight change in the shoulder straps as well as improvement in the compression system i am also switching to finishing my seams with grosgrain instead of a double stitched  french this doesnt change durability it will just give a little more room as it will use about 1/8 inch less fabric in each seam the biggest change by far is i am seriously thinking of switching to xpac this is still up in the air feedback is welcome anyway enough of my blab lets talk about the packs. Up first is Eugene leafty's X2 it is built with a all dynemma gridstop body and side pockets and a 70d back pocket. The roll tops is sil. Custom work is the d loops on the shoulder straps total pack weight is 9.5 ounces. Next is Greg Foster's X2 it is also built with dynemma gridstop including all the pockets the roll top is 70d sil. custom work includes a hydration hook and ice axe loops it has a webbing waistbelt and comes in at 9.5 also. and last but most defiantly not last  is a beautiful X2 made for andy chasse this pack is made with a body of 70d sil a bottom of gridstop lycra mesh pockets and a 30d sil top
