If you're looking for a midsized backpack, built to take the abuse with a ton of practical features, look no further. I've been looking for a backpack to fill the need for a light backpacking pack, and a system to carry my load while at work. Its internal frame, built in organization, and mole throughout make it an ALMOST perfect backpack (read below).
This pack has plenty of room, and it has an attractive price compared to other eberlestock packs which often reach above 300USD$.
Check out this pack and others at Eberlestock.com
NOT a sponsored video. These thoughts are my own, and it was bought online for 200$.
The good:
- Large enough for a 3-5 day backpacking trip
- 1000 denier material won't let me down when carrying gun or camera stuff.
- MOLLE webbing inside and out to organize, and carry more.
- Tunnel sleeves are sweet for my small tripods, or trekking poles.
- Harness is airy and comfortable.
- Reinforced and padded waist belt coupled with lumbar support kept weight off my shoulders and was comfortable after long hikes.
- Removable rainfly in case of damage.
- Antenna port is good for electronics, or if running extra batteries on an ENG camera, you can store batteries inside the brain or main compartment.
The Bad:
- Still pricy, but you get what you pay for.
- Their "Coyote Brown" is not the US military's "Coyote Brown". It is a bit darker than my plate carrier, and accessory pouches. Not a bad thing per se, but it is a bit annoying at first.
- Rainfly will not accomodate much more than the pack itself, and it's "Lightweight" material does not hold up well to mountain hiking in the Pacific Northwest. I already tore an inch long hole in it my first outing. It's replaceable though, so you can easily repair, replace, or upgrade.
