The long awaited package arrived today! After turning into an "invoice ninja" ( you guys know what I'm talking about" I tore through that box like a rabid dog!! The fit and finish on this thing is outstanding!! I set it up with the belt pouches and loaded all of my bivy gear including food and took off. After a few minor adjustments I could tell right away that this is the most comfertable suspension system I've ever had the pleasure of wearing. It's definatly going to take some testing to figure out where to put everything to balance the load out but that's part of the fun right? The foliage was a little more green than I expected but I think I like it more that way. I will get some pics up after this weekends camping trip/3d shoot. HUGE thanks to aron snyder for all of his help and advice in selecting the options for this pack
 
I did an inaugural trail hike w mine yesterday. 50lbs for about 2 hours and it was cake. And no sore/hot spots today after the little walk. My buddy is going to be pissed that he got the EBerle dragonfly
 
Figuring out how to load it to be balanced will be a chore. Between my spotter, bladder, tripod and day hunt gear. I'm thinking a hanging bladder holder to center the 120oz of water will help.
 
What I did: Bladder hanging in the center with the GEN II over it. Day hunt gear kitted in small dry sacks inside the GEN II till I kill. This leaves the wings pretty much empty and there is still the area below the wings for "500 light long pocket".
