The materials and craftsmanship are very good, i like the multiple pockets provided. However, the elastic sleeve that i assume is meant to be used as an inside holster is paltry. My Canik MC9 Mete did not even fit that sleeve. I just place my handgun free on that compartment. The buckle does seem a little thin but it has not come loose.
So far so good, frame is light weight and comfortable after adjusting. After strapping weight onto it and hiking up and down hills very little fatigue.
Bought this for predator hunts. Pack is dang near perfect, the scabbard holds my suppressed AR tight, the adjustable compartments o lots of space for my caller and the hydration sleeve comes in handy during summer hunts.
Would absolutely recommend.
The sling is extremely well manufactured. Heavy duty where it needs to be and functional. I do wish there was a place to adhere PVC patches on the front, then it would be Ultra Amazing instead of just Amazing.
This is the second large general purpose pouch that I have bought and will continue to get a couple more. They are great for organizing inside the pack as well as carrying items on the waste belt that are readily needed.
There is an abundance of space/pockets to organize that way you need it. Primarily serves as my SWAT gear bag and works for exactly what I needed.
Only thing I would love to see added to it, is hard anchor points to be able to properly lock it down to my work vehicle.
You can tailor your pack in so many ways using the bundle and Molle accessories. The Mission ARC is definitely the go to rifle carry. Great ergonomics and design. You can tell Eberlestock definitely listened to users to build this setup. Way to go Eberlestock!
I use this in my Eberlestock EDC pack. It’s used to hold my first aid kit and stop the bleeding kit. It fits perfect. In my pack I have my Sub2000 folding 9mm and the small pouch holds my two extra mags this larger one with the first aid kit fits in there too. Talk about string Velcro haha get it in place the first time because it almost takes three hands to remove them. Great job
This Cradel hip belt is a huge improvement from the original. I have had my Mainframe for probably 15 years or more. My biggest complaint was the hip belt. I was always pulling on it to get it tight. It would not stay locked in. This new belt pulls forward for easy use and locks into place perfect all day. Have used it for scouting and shed hunts so far. Hope to put it to the real test this season on our Coues and Elk hunts. It also wraps farther around your hips and mid section and locks into you hips way better. I will order the upgraded ladder harness when they are back in stock.
The conxtruction qulaity is outstanding. However i dont feel like some of the designs elements are practicl for an EDC or travel pack. The "molle" is neither standartd size or spacing making accessory attachment awkward or not properly attached. There should be attachment points closer to the bottom/ on the bottom, I personally don't dont like items banging into my upper arms or ebows, and it would make it easier to movie and store the bag in narrower areas with items attached to the bag.
Great setup not bad to set up except for the wings but once they are installed they hang on tight.
The setup works and loads very easy and the frame will really load the bags up with a heavy load if needed
And is very easy to carry with the padded straps I'm 76 years old now and have no trouble at all carrying the setup fully loaded. Wish I had found this 10 years ago. Great quality and build.
My edc man purse. I carry this thing everywhere for work. Very well made and looks better and better with use.
