Thoughts on eberlestock packs

[bear run]

I bought the f1 mainframe to train and play with. First pack. Load lifters could be better.
I put a 50 lb. bag of corn in a green canvas duffel and hike with it. Bait bags of beets and carrots 50.lb are so much easier to haul than without a pack. I buy this pack so I could someday build upon for out west adventure and beyond. I need more money.

I bought the x2 a few months back and I love it. Fits very nice. I have like 5 Eberlestock packs but this one is by far the best.

Have the just one pack great pack but like others have said bad layout and very heavy empty

I have the F1 Mainframe as my base backpack. I'd highly recommend replacing the belt with the "Large Pad" belt...it makes it super comfortable!

I’ve got the x2, packed out an antelope with it wouldn’t want to much more.

I just ordered an F1 mainframe. I am about 6'2 and 230. From all the recommendations I read I opted for the tall frame. I'm not anywhere near a place that sold them to try it on, so I went with it. I have lowered the shoulder straps to the lowest setting and still seems like the hip belt rides low. Looking back I maybe should have gotten the regular size.. I can't return or exchange it at this point. Its brand new, wore it once to fit it to my size. What should I do? Trade?

Otherwise I love the pack and the setup I have!

did you watch their videos on fitting the pack? May be helpful

Been looking at Eberlestock packs, they seem pretty nice and have good amount of room for not a bad sales price. Anybody had any dealings with them? Pros? Cons?

Been wondering this myself for a long time!

I owned an Eberlestock Skycrane. It was really heavy, and not comfortable to carry with heavy loads.

I sold it and got a Seek Outside Brooks, which I love.
