New Eberlestock frame looks...... interesting

[svivian]

Not sure how i feel about this pack....

MODFRAME

With the Modframe™, we’ve taken everything that made the Mainframe great and rebuilt it from the ground up. This is more than an upgrade; it’s a next-generation hunting platform. The Modframe™ is a purpose-built foundation for serious alpine hunters who demand performance, durability, and...

Looks familiar, and that lumbar pad is an optical illusion

They had me at the fishnet lining.

Idk what you are on about OP, this looks nothing like anything else out there.

Do we really need a third thread about this?

Great another piece of gear I’m going to have to listen to someone tell me how there’s is “just as good” and “cost half as much but punches way out of its price range”

Their foam and mesh straps/back look like the material on my HP laptop backpack. Doesn't hold up as well as you hope over time....

I'm sure it's not up there with the tier 1's. But it does cost more than the big Metcalf now (not that that is a T-1 pack either). I started with an eberlestock bag. After switching to a SG, I am now biased against Eberlestock because of how much of an upgrade I made. But these new packs seem like they're at least headed the right direction. But at this price point, its hard to not pay the extra $100 and get a SG/Exo/IA/Kifaru

I tried to get Eberle to sew two zippers on each side so I could run a bag AND batwings for multi day hunts. Having the batwings strapped on is just stupid, I did it once and haven't used them since.

I can't wait to use a terratorn...

 

[Drenalin]

Eh...the K4 frame is pretty much a slightly updated Kifaru frame. And I don't mean that as disparaging toward Exo. I'm not surprised someone else is making their version of the same; I'm a little surprised it's Eberlestock - I thought their target consumer was dwarves, trolls, and hunchbacks.

Strangely, I didn't even have to ask and my batwings came from the factory able to be zipped right onto the sides of multiple different bags.

This is the setup that I like using for multi day hunts. It's called the Drybagatorn...been around for quite awhile and other companies now make similar setups...:

Thats exactly what I was trying to do except Eberle makes you choose, either the bags zip together OR one will zip onto the frame.
I wanted both zipped to the frame so it all stayed high and tight and could use the batwings to hold tripod/rifle like the terratorn.
strapping it all together it shifts too much, comes loose, starts swinging, stuff falling out etc.

The terratorn looks like it will do exactly what I want.

Yeah I’m sure it’s fine. I don’t really care either way just mentally preparing myself for someone to lecture me about why I overpaid for my gear and why their cheaper selection looks and performs better.

For what ever reason it’s actually happened to me 3 times the last 2 years. Someone sees me and whatever I’m using and try’s to poopoo my selection

Politely tell them to piss off. Use whatever you want and have a great time.

That’s the plan. My wife finds it quite comical, I’m not a person to go out of my way to be polite or invite conversation. But something about me draws in clowns and whack jobs who like to talk.

clowns and whack jobs

That's most of the population. You do you and disregard the losers.

In my experience, people that are like that usually don't have enough knowledge in the subject to understand the nuances and why someone would EVERRR choose anything different than whatever that first paid add YouTube video they saw told them to buy...

Some people be like that, whatever they are currently using is the best and if you paid more for something you were a fool and if you spent less you were a cheapskate and should have spent what they did to get “the real deal”.
