Following on the feedback of our original Urban Ruck, the 2.0 has some upgrades that are more suited to everyday use. The built-in shoulder straps are more comfortable and twist less while donning the pack. The back of the pack has thin spacer mesh with a tighter weave that covers 7mm thick hydrophobic spacer-mesh underneath. This allows a semi permeable back that dries quickly. The lid is reinforced at the handle and where it sews into the back panel to prevent tear outs. The lid also retained it’s zippered pocket with key hook and is secured by a plastic ITW Cobra buckle that leads down to the sewn in front zippered pocket with a stash pocket behind it. On either side of the front pocket is a stretchy Nalgene pocket. Unclip the lid buckle and you will find a zippered pocket with sewn in organizer slots of various sizes. The VX21-S Xpac drawstring closure leads into the main compartment lined with the white side of the laminated Xpac to light up the interior. In the main compartment hangs a removable Chamber pocket. Webbing tracks on the bottom and tabs above the water bottle pockets will link up with a Sherman or Grab-it. A burly grab handle is sewn between the bottom webbing tracks.
