XP Backpack 240 for Deus and ORX Metal Detectors

If you're running the XP Deus or ORX and need a dedicated pack that holds everything without the bulk, this is it. The XP Backpack 240 fits a complete detector, headphones, a pinpointer with holster, and a second coil in 31 liters of organized space. We've used it on long hunts where swapping coils mid-session or carrying backup gear makes the difference between calling it early and staying out until dark.

What's included

• XP Backpack 240 with reinforced 600D polyester base and handles
• Waist belt with optional XP finds pouch attachment points
• Chest clip for load stability
• Interior mud-separation pocket for coils and rod sections
• 2-year warranty

Why detectorists choose this

• Less shoulder fatigue on all-day hunts: polyurethane foam padding in the handles and back panel.
• Faster coil swaps without digging through chaos: dedicated interior pocket separates mud-covered discs from clean gear.
• Room for the full kit plus field extras: 31-liter main compartment holds detector, headphones, pinpointer, holster, and a pickaxe or snack.
• Secure carry for small essentials: rain-resistant document pocket keeps permits and maps dry in light weather.
• Gear attachment without aftermarket mods: four handle straps accept XP coil covers or smartphone pouches directly!

How it compares to other XP carry solutions

The XP lineup includes three carry options for Deus and ORX detectors. Each balances capacity against portability differently.

Organization that matches how you hunt

The exterior layout puts high-access items where you need them. A headphone pocket sits on one side, a water bottle pocket on the other. The extra-large pinpointer and holster pocket provides quick access to your pinpointer. A mesh pocket on the front holds cards, a GPS unit, or a rain shell. Four straps on the handles let you clip XP coil covers or smartphone pouches without hunting for carabiners.

Inside, the main compartment swallows a collapsed detector, a spare coil, and a small digging tool with room left for a jacket. The mud-separation pocket keeps dirty coils and rod sections away from electronics. A keyed interior pocket secures your remote control or truck keys where they won't slide into the bottom of the bag. When you're comparing best pinpointers for metal detecting, having a dedicated exterior pocket for quick access makes recovery faster in trashy sites.

Built for the field

The base and handles use the same 600D polyester as the larger Backpack 280, reinforced against abrasion when you drop the pack on gravel or drag it across a truck bed. Polyurethane foam padding in the shoulder straps and back panel spreads the load across your shoulders and spine. The waist belt transfers weight to your hips on longer walks, and the chest clip keeps the shoulder straps from sliding during rough terrain scrambles. At 700 grams empty, the pack itself doesn't add much to your carry weight when you're already hauling a detector, digger, and finds pouch.

The rain-resistant document pocket on the exterior keeps paper maps and permission slips dry in light drizzle. It's not submersible, but it handles the weather most of us hunt in. The two-year warranty from XP covers manufacturing defects, which matters when you're using a pack hard enough to justify buying one purpose-built for detecting.

Real-world capacity

We've packed a full Deus setup with headphones, the standard coil on the detector, and a spare coil in the mud pocket, a pinpointer in the exterior pocket, a digging tool in the main compartment, a water bottle, a snack, and a light rain jacket. The pack closed without forcing zippers. If you run the ORX with a compact setup, you gain room for a small finds pouch or a battery bank. The 31-liter volume sits between a daypack and a full hiking pack, sized for a half-day to full-day hunt without excess bulk on short trips.
