          Great Product

          I got Batwings and a mainframe and am very impressed. Solid construction, light, and comfortable. I recommend and will be buying a 50 liter pack next!

          F1 mainframe, batwings and vapor 2500

          I had never used any of the Eberlestock packs but after receiving the f1 mainframe, batwings and vapor 2500 I loaded it up…I was blown away by how comfortable it was and can’t wait to use it on my upcoming elk hunt!

          Typical Eberlestock Quality...

          ...which is excellent. Combined it with a vapor 5000 and a dry bag rifle scabbard. Love the modular options. Will be using it for backpacking this summer and hunting this fall. Will likely add a multi-lid to finish my setup.
          Would love to see something along the lines of a zip on tomohawk style pack become available for this frame.
          This is my 4th eberlestock pack. I have yet to see another company do such a good job at creating products that meets the needs of hunters/shooters/backcountry explorers.

          Haven’t used it for elk hunting yet but have taken it out rucking in preparation for some backcountry turkey hunts coming up and wow it’s awesome! Super durable and fits great!

          Good product but poor for the customer

          Pack frame appears to be of good quality… only issue being if I waited 30 days I could have saved almost $200 on the frame and vapor pack. Seems like it is just a crazy mark up and I would recommend everyone wait until march if you were to ever order from here so you don’t get ripped off.

          F1 Rocks

          Recently purchased F1 frame + Batwings + bolt action scabbard and love how well they work. The fit is perfect and I have been winter trekking with the pack loaded down many times. Love the modularity and the fact the frame allows the pack to stand vertical when I take it off. Thanks Eberlestock !

          F1 framing

          Great fit I'm 5ft 10 inches 175 lbs and got a regular. I added the batwings and dry bag for the 2500 size for now. Looks like I'll have plenty of room for a 3 to 5 day trip!

          F1 mainframe

          This pack frame is well beyond my expectations. Super comfy even after loading it down with 40lbs and hiking 4-5mi. Would highly recommend this pack to anyone

          Not bad but need improvements!

          All the point of an external frame pack consists in attaching stuff to the frame. And in f 1 there s no access to the frame except for the bottom. I thing a good idea would be to expose the frame in 3points just in case if. Someone like me would want to have more attachment points or use much longer straps. Overall the pack is pretty good
