Hey Guys, Just seeing if there was any feedback on the new Eberlestock Mainframe Pack. Looking at getting a frame pack and have had good luck with Eberlestock, but I haven't heard anything about it. Thanks for any info.

Well, I'm no pack expert, but there are no load lifters on that pack and the experts say that's not good for heavy loads.

I've been extremely disappointed with my eberlestock. It will be replaced if I draw.

If you want a great internal frame pack, save a little more and buy something from Kifaru, Stone Glacier or Mystery Ranch. If money is an issue you can get a pretty decent pack from KUIU for the money.

I see load lifters.

Their pictures are very confusing and don't clearly show the load lifters. It's obvious in this pic there are none and the top of the frame is well below his shoulders.

None showing in this one either...but it looks like the frame is sitting higher.

This pic shows what may be load lifters, but not high enough to actually function as such.

I see, looks like the frame is shorter. In that case, they will not lift but only snug up. Eberlestock packs are for short torso. It's a shame they can't make their packs a few inches taller above the harness connection point.
