Mainframe

Frame fits perfectly for carrying heavy weight. Can’t wait to use it more in the field!

Awesome pack. I like the versatility of it. Comfortable to haul a load with.

Can’t say enough about the mainframe. I love the versatility and ease of which to change out bags and accessories depending on need. The frame is extremely durable and has held up to all the punishment I have put it through. The shelf makes hauling meat a breeze and comfortable. I liked it so much that I bought another for my daughter.

I usually use Eberlestock bags at work, so instead of trying the competition, Kuiu, Stone Glacier, etc I gave eberlestock a shot. Not only does this frame come with options. It’s damn durable, I took a nasty spill while glassing off a cliff face. The frame didn’t snap or break after taking a large fall over multiple boulders - Yes, I was still wearing the frame (along with a 2500 series eberlestock bag (Vapor I think it’s called?) regardless, it didn’t bend or break. I still load it up with lots of weight and it performs like new everytime. At seriously a fraction of the cost of its competitors. I won’t say it saved my life, but I will say it saved my hunt. - that’s good enough for me.

I cannot be more satisfied with my new Mainframe or Eberlestock’s customer service. The first Mainframe pack that Eberlestock sent me had a defective attachment strap that I did not discover until I was in the field. I was able to jury rig the pack and still transport meat out of the field. I continued to use the pack for the rest of the hunting trip. It is by far the most comfortable pack I have ever used.
After analyzing the defect, Eberlestock replaced the defective pack for me promptly. Again, I am 100% satisfied!

I packed my first elk with this set up and it worked very well. Easy to set up, quarters stay put, and tough enough to hold all the weight I could handle. The batwings are a nice setup: once you’re packing I zipped them off and left them with the first load. Easy and fast, this pack made getting out of the bear woods with a pile of meat a breeze. I use a small dry bag loaded with my essentials as an additional part of the pack, if I’ve already tagged out and I’m going with another hunter who has his own knife, gamebags, etc I can just leave my dry bag in the truck to save weight. This pack will be perfect for antler hunting, I’m looking forward to simplicity and utility.

I finally got fed up with the cheap backpack straps my climbing stand came with and treated myself to this tank of a frame pack. First time loading up all my gear it was laughable that it took me that much suffering to finally pull the trigger on this pack. Wish I would’ve bought this thing YEARS ago. (Picture is first time strapping my climbing stand to the pack. I wedge my bandit pack in there and clip it on with a carabiner and I’m right as rain).
