Eberlestock is updating the mainframe..
I have a current mainframe. I used it last fall and worked great. I loved all the Eberlestock accessories (scabbard, bat wings, vapor bag, etc)
But... I had to upgrade the belt. The standard belt is just too thin for me.
And I really wished that it had functional load lifters
And I really wanted compression straps inside the zippers for the bag attachement.
It looks like the new bag will have all those problems addressed...
I reached out to Eberlestock for more information and this is what they told me...
"Thank you for your email and for running our gear! Unfortunately, we do not have a ton of information for the new Mod Frame that we can share at this moment. What we can say is that they are currently in production and you can expect to have one on your back this hunting season. As far as price, that is yet to be determined, but it should be around the same price point as our Mainframe."
Anyone want to buy a slightly used mainframe with both belts??

. The one thing I don't like or use on the F1 is the so-called load shelf. I never use it for anything and keep my loads as high as possible on the frame. It gets in the way if I want to sit down and glass/rest/etc. So I think I'll get the new frame and leave it dedicated to hunting/scouting/field use and the old one will stay in ruck/training duty.
