Eberlestock Brute Series

[slimbw3]

Looking for real hands on reviews of the new brute packs. There is no dealer near me to take a look at these. Primarily the 3500 and 4500. I understand they are new and might take a minute to land at dealers and also understand they have the newer mod frame as a option. I don’t love lids or roll tops which is why the brute line up is appealing to me. Any feedback is appreciated.

Interested to hear about the brute series/mod frame as well. The brute 6500 with the 15% discount is definitely appealing.

Not many real world reviews except what Eberlestock has put out.

I have been training with the new Brute 3500 and like it quite a bit so far. Has been an awesome option for a day pack. Hauls well and is comfortable

I don't understand the Brute series. Why would Eberlestock have the option of a frame compatible with multiple bags or configurations and then come out with these. Doesn't make sense to me. Mod Frame looks solid though.

I agree, the mod frame and brooks 7000 looks more ideal

I was able to get my hands on the mod frame. It’s a bit heavier than some brands but appears to be very durable and well made. Having a bag zip to the frame along with buckle attachments makes it easy to remove and really stable. The frame itself is perfect for training. Remove the bag and throw a sandbag on the frame and go. Maybe not necessary but a cool option. Multiple bag and attachment options is also a plus.
