I am just under 6ft 200lbs and 34 years old. My wife and I enjoy hiking we are not in the best shape but enjoy full day hikes up to 10 miles or so give or take and my packs vary all eberlestock lol but this is the one I use the most even for day hikes I wanted something to grow into for overnight hikes and our vacations to Colorado this pack has everything and more I've loaded out over 80 lbs in this beast and it's completely secure and comfortable I have and will continue to recommend eberlestock to anyone who wants the best pack I've researched and used not an expert just want something to last forever and not much out there lives up to that mark but 5 years of heavy use and abuse and it still looks and functions like new

I am currently serving in a reconnaissance platoon and needed a ruck that could do it all. This is definitely a big beast and will hold more gear than I could probably carry. Awesome craftsmanship, very sturdy and has an included rainfly. Awesome.

I only have two issues with it. One is that I purchased the Multicam version and the rainfly is NOT Multicam in color. It is the shiny brown color, not a deal breaker but kinda defeats the point of the Multicam.

Second, this bag is MASSIVE. I love what it can do and hold but it is way to tall for me. It towers over my head and if I go prone I cannot lift my head up with the ruck on my back.

Other than that I would give it a 10/10.

Pack is nicely made and looks very durable. Lots of space and pockets. Adjustable shoulder straps allows for nice fit on torso. I will be using pack on a course and will post another review afterwards.

It's huge, it has a lots of pockets & spaces to compartmentalize & organize gear. It's not waterproof, but that's what ruck liner & dry bags are for.

I have used many packs through SAR and military training and this pack is by far one of my favorites when it comes to comfort. I love that I have the ability to expand the pack as to pack more or less depending on weather, environment or mission. I highly recommend this pack for people who need a do it all pack.

Great backpack🫶🏻

Battleship... more like Cloud Surfer. The adjustable shoulders & hips are the make it or break it of these types of packs. This system in particular made 50lbs of gear feel like 15 once I had everything adjusted & fitted correctly. I was damn near speed walking compared to the rest of my team & it was all thanks to this pack. I have tried many different brands & styles of rucks & I have to say, I am more than impressed. Suddenly, my whole team has been outfitted with Eberle rucks haha

Best pack I have ever used for long distance Hikes 20 Miles a day no problem as long as its full and adjusted

This thing is a beast of a pack, perfect for what its intended for,
to carry a load.

This backpack is truly a ‘Battleship’ frfr no cap. Get on that sigma male grind and go train.
