- Eberlestock has done it again; another awesome pack with some great features. MSRP is $200.00. This pack is almost the perfect size for any situation, whether you are traveling, or just going to class or work.
Honestly thumbs up for the into music.
Good review. Thanks.
Been carrying a Kelty tactical for years but its pretty tired, looking at the Redwing 30T as a replacement, but I like the Switchblads, though more $$$...
Nice review, Eberlestock makes some nice stuff if a bit costly. they are worth the money if you use the pack a lot. i like all of the extra compartments.
Andy W thanks! They have great customer service and create an awesome product!
Nice review.
The pack would be much nicer, if you could detach the the foldable insert in the main compartment and just use velcro pouches.
Alexander Leiker you’re saying if you could take out the organizers?
@@blackswampoutdoors4850 yep, a little bit more like the arc'teryx khard series. I think the switchblade has an awesome design, but I would't have much use for the folding organizer stuff in the main compartment. the little organizers on the inner sides are great, but the thing for laptop/hydration bladder should be detachable.
Alexander Leiker I couldn’t agree more. I was telling one of my friends it would make way more sense to not have those if they are going to have MOLLE webbing on it. Really though, once you get some items in the organizer it isn’t near as bad.
You should still use a holster inside the pack. My question is the holster sleeve lined with some kind of Velcro?
It's lined with a soft material that grabs Velcro hook very well.
Not sure how comfortable I would be with running a glock chambered with nothing to secure it to like in other CCW packs. I guess I could always run a kydex holseter but then that's just another step to get to your side arm. Do you feel that the magnets are pretty secure?
Shonryu yes they are. I am the same as you though. I don’t want to carry anything loaded unless I know it’s pointed in a safe direction and secure. I’m sure some people do carry hot using the compartment but I usually don’t.
Velcro holsters can be attached anywhere in the compartment.
Would the concealed carry pocket have enough room for a full sized handgun with a pocket holster?
dbpirate29 My Glock with a Blackhawk paddle holster will fit, but it is uncomfortable on your back if the pack is full
So the CCW area, is there room for some sort of holster inside there?
No not necessarily. I’m sure with the right ccw holster you could make it work. I have a Blackhawk holster that I have put in there with my Glock, but it makes it almost impossible to deploy the Glock in an efficient manner
That micro dry pouch would work well for tinder
Yeshua's Disciple never thought about that, I was trying to figure what it would work well for and that sounds like a good idea -mike
Hey, nice Review!
Can I put an A4-folder / ring binder in it?
Nico Walter thanks! I haven’t tried, but I would assume you can. There is plenty of room
Hey thanks for the rieview, just a short question since i could not find an answer on google. Is it made of 1000D codura ? Thanks
Chris K don’t quote me on it because I’m not good with my fabrics but I’m pretty certain that it is. Contact eberlestock and I’m sure they will confirm it.
How do you feel about the F5 after 8 months? Good review, would love a follow up.
Nick Holman the pack is still great. The only complaint that I still have is the organizing folders inside of the pack. Everything else has held up to my standards. I packed a weeks worth of clothes into it with no problems
What happened with the organizer folders?
Just a quick question regarding the concealed carry pouch. Is it on left or right side and can you access it while wearing the pack?
Bob Thurlkill great question! So it’s actually ambidextrous so there are openings on both sides of the pack. The pouch is shaped like a downwards triangle so you can put your firearm in both configurations.
Bob Thurlkill also, it would be almost impossible to access while wearing the pack
Will a standard 1 liter Nalgene bottle fit in the side pocket?
cap6888 very tightly lol
What is your orange organizer notebook you have in the pack?
just a simple clip board I probably picked up at walmart.
Is the molle on the bottom? I'd love it if it had the panel the same as the bandit or if I could attach the tail
Ironkid883 there is no Molle on the bottom. Mainly just what you see in the video
Where do you find those mini stuff sacks from eberlestock (4:20 in the video)
Ive looked a few times since your posts and haven't seen them since. They must've stopped production on them. I love my 3 that I bought several years ago.
Hi! What colorway is this?
David Chu hello! I believe this is the dry earth color
They make great packs but zippers are junk.
j p I would have to disagree with you. On the switchblade especially, I think it is a great feature that you can unzip the top with out the zipper opening up on its own.
@@blackswampoutdoors4850 I have a combat briefcase and the zipper just went on it. Have to send it in. It will be at least a 6 week process. I wont know if its covered under warranty until they get it. After comparing to my other eberlestock pack it looks like all the main zippers are designed the same.
@@blackswampoutdoors4850 Hey just wanted to say thanks for the reply. Most don't do that. ty
Nice review.
