Eberlestock Skycrane II Pack (J79)

Think carefully before buying this pack If used to capacity this pack system is actually quite small. And heavy for the volume it provides. Depending on your needs this pack can be outstanding or terrible. The quality is excellent and the durability will probably make it last a lifetime. But for my needs, there is a major design flaw in the Skycrane 2 mainframe. My use of the pack is long range excursions as well as military use. As such, the G1 Little Brother pack is filled with the absolute necessities and the mainframe holds the "niceties". By themselves the various parts work great. However, when the G1 is packed full, it completely fills the space between the mainframe batwings. Since the batwings have pockets on the inside, as well as the outside, these pockets become unusable. The mainframe is therefore limited to 2x10L (the outside pouches) which makes the total usable volume for the system about 56L (3420 cu in). That is a pretty small, but very heavy pack.

Spike camp duffels can be put on two so that the backpack is good on the back but the legs no longer support the weight, I actually took little Brother completely off and use it for work as a daypack and occasionally on the track because it includes a channel for rifle scabbard * highspeed operator look *. I use the Skycrane frame as a Pregnant "B" ring together with the rig and a radio can penetrate it, a rifle, at best 2 Clover and 3 Kes and 4 fans, the deer got a passelist fit. The Spike camp duffel then acts as a "C" ring. 4 stars because the tube pockets are a bit cramped, I wish they didn't have a tightening like in the Terminator model that the drink pocket gets crimped with e.g. sticks or a rifle, it also feels like the pockets are longer and thinner than in the Terminator and Operator models. Of course you can get there jerven extmen and on the other side there is a tarpaulin and toilet paper, inside there is an insane amount of palslenkkei not if you want so you can get anything attached to this. The coolers also have self-adhesive pockets on both sides that absorb 3l of bladder when full but not empty and a standard E&E munch on the roof. The lap belt is also a handkerchief when it gets drawer pockets or a universal pocket on the paw was someone good where you carry the mask, string, tape, print and headlamp.

And 10L is a pretty small size for pouches, it's very difficult to squeeze an arctic sleeping bag in there.
