Description

The primary base platform for the EMOD™ system with a constantly growing number of accessories. Build it up to be a multi-day expedition pack, or go in light so you can come out heavy.

Tested to hold more than 1300 lbs., this ultra-rugged frame utilizes top of the line zippers to allow the attachment of a variety of packs and accessories to fit any backcountry hunt. The Mainframe™ is fully adjustable and completely user configurable with endless combinations. 

ULTRALIGHT SETUPS

  • Use the Vapor 2500 or 5000 for any length adventure with ultra-light considerations. 
  • Use 2 Batwings when you plan to go in light and come out heavy. Stay quick, light, and mobile with the Batwings. They are intuitive and make packing out meat simple.
  • The Bolt Action Scabbard and EMOD Lid are great options to carry your rifle and gear handsfree.

MID-RANGE SETUPS

  • Pair with the Basin or Batwings for a 2-4 day hunt. Pack all of your gear into the backcountry and when you reach camp and drop your gear, unzip the duffel or dry bag and hunt in your ultralight Batwing setup.
  • If you like the organization and function of a backpack, the new Vapor 5000 is the ideal choice for a 2-5 day trip. Allows for top-loading or front-loading access and use the Mainframe when it is time for some heavy lifting.

Lightweight and Comfortable

I am 6'-3" and purchased the tall pack. In hindsight, I should've gone with the standard frame but on the shortest setting it works well. That said, the pack is super lightweight and comfortable. Can't wait to use in on my deer hunt next month!

F1 mainframe

Extremely impressed. I’ve been running the F1 mainframe paired with 2 batwings for a couple years now and have zero complaints. I primarily use this setup for day hunting whitetails in the Appalachian mountains where packing out game is the only reasonable option. But have also used it for 3+ day hunts. The pack is light enough for early season day hunts but also capable of late season multiple day hunts where more clothing layers and extra gear is needed. It’s the perfect pack for all season and can handle anything you throw at it. From ground hunting to saddle or hang on stand style hunting, the mainframe is perfect for any scenario. Endless modularity options to customize your pack the way you want it is a major upside. The whole system of packs and accessories in this line are top notch. Eberlestock is a step above the competition with this pack and its options.

Mainframe Review

I have not hunted with the pack yet, but I have done a few training hikes with varying amounts of weight in the pack (15-90 pounds). So far I am very impressed! I have it paired with a Vapour 5000 which I also really like so far.

Versatile frame

Another quality product from Eberlestock as the frame is well constructed and light weight. Has many anchor points and included cinch straps to make sure any load carried is stable secure. Many optional accessories will likely make this a favorite hunting pack!

Main frame

Fits good because it has adjustable shoulder harness and padded waist belt. Both batwing fit good.
