Genuine XP, built to carry a complete multi-machine kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery detectorist has a weather story: the storm that rolled in 40 minutes from the truck, the remote control that rode home in a wet pocket, the headphones that never worked right again. The XP Backpack 280 is XP's answer to hunting in the real world. It is cut from the same 600D and 1000D polyester used in high-end trekking packs, and it ships with a waterproof rain cover that shrugs off heavy rain and mud, so the kit inside stays dry when the sky does not cooperate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the 280 and not the 240?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/xp-backpack-240\"\u003eXP Backpack 240\u003c\/a\u003e is the light one-machine day pack. The 280 is the load hauler: two large main compartments (one for search coils and lower stems, one for stems and a mattock), 10 additional pockets for pinpointer, headphones, accessories, smartphone or remote, and a waterproof paper and map pocket. XP printed location icons on the pocket strips and inside the compartments, so you always know where a piece of gear lives, and so does the friend who packs up while you finish the last plug. Nine adjustment straps across five zones, a quilted hip belt, and a breathable ventilated back panel move the 4.1 lb \/ 1,850 g pack's load onto your hips and keep your back cool on the walk in.
