Eberlestock Battleship Pack

First Thing:If you are even Curious about this bag, Go to Eberlestock.com and browse their products. Find the V90 Battleship and watch the 10m video walkthrough.Check their other bags- They make some really innovative and tough designs- you may find one better suited for your type application. All of the Products have Video previews.I'm including info about my specific gear because in my experience- everyone's stuff is a different size, style, and variety... as such it is gonna fit together different. I'll try to use size comparisons.Sometimes, the way stuff fits is a main consideration in a purchase."I need this Smaller..."..."I need this Lighter"..."If this is gonna weigh THIS much -I need it to be better at what it does..."- These are all things I catch myself saying when I look at my gear.And I Got Style, Size, and Variety, my friend. I recommend any piece of my gear. x)A pack like this is at the Top of my "Essential Gear"Looking at my bag:This thing is Huge. I'm all about having the capacity to do things in my life- and big backpacks get love from me. Its got ROOM for any and every piece of gear, and shape to stay just lo pro enough, to let you spin around in a checkout line and grab some chips without clearing the countertop, you know what Im sayin?In the bottom, I can fit my Marmot Helium and most all of my body wear- Set of UA Base 4.0s and a set of HH LIFA, a pair of UA Extreme Coldgear leggings, MHW Nitrous down Coat, extra pair of Blackhawk Pants, extra UA underoos and a UA Heatgear Compression Tshirt. I can squeeze in a 20rnd box at the top of the lower compartment- then lay in a extra set of 6" Wolverine Forester boots perfectly aligned with the lower horizontal compression strap! Tighten it down enough not to stress the ripstop 400d fabric and move right along...The main Compartment is a frickn cavern. I stack two jetboil 220s and my solo stove which nests inside the MSR titan .85L pot- about the same size as another 2 220s- underneath my food storage. 14 packets of freeze dried grub- a pack of ramen, two Knorr Sides and a Near East Lentil cup o soup, and 4 Bridgford MRE samiches... it all fits in an area about the size of a twelve pack of cans- probly the same weight.I packed the side pockets inside the main compartment with 8 pairs of various smartwool and coolmax socks, my UA Cold Gloves and UA Base 2 face mask -but on my next loadout I'm not gonna use em, Ill fit the socks and stuff in and around the sides as I go. That will maximize the capacity of the main compartment and also the external side pockets- another Very Cool Feature.-On top of my food and socks I still found room for a blanket (Kelty Waterproof 3 way Blanket Bag Awesome Thing) and a Fleece Coat (Condor Alpha)... I probably could cram another 12pk of cans on top and fit it right inside the bag with no storm neck extension yet- This bag really can carry more than me- I'm Positive :)That's a Good Thing!The Top Compartment is super adjustable, it can keep a Katy Pocket filter, folding solar panel, SolarFilm, and LumenAid lamp, my tech bag and batteries. The tech bag is about 6x9, holds an old Icom T7 HAM Radio, a Steripen Defender and a kindle + about 8 AAs and 6AAAs. The Top Pocket STILL has room for various bandanas or a medium sea to summit towel, a Uco Lantern, and a 4oz flask...The whole suspension is a dream.The hipbelt is sturdy and comfortable.---If you have geared up and bugged out- long term, long distance, outdoors living style stuff before- you have seen or bought the "Most Comfy Backpack Made Today..." ...Fluffy Straps Pinch in a jacket and twist up- they look dorky and center the pull into razor edged points on your bones...Comfy dont equal Good in my xp.---Good is what the straps on this bag are. Minimalist, wont get in the way of a sweater or layered Cold Storm Option, I could see wearing a plate carrier or a LBV just as easy while wearing the pack. She's a big mamma jamma- your gonna be heavy, but if you got Nord Legs like the man right here- you could swing it.The hipbelt is sweet with mole strappin. I got a 3x6x3 Range Shooters FAK (made by AMP-3 LLC) up on the rear loops, and a blackhawk nalgene bag on the otherside rear loops- with plenty of room for a canteen or even the Gerber LMF on the front loops near the buckle.Fully adjustable with compression straps all around the bag- every detail can hold weight. I recommend the speed clips for mole on the back 6 straps- the speed clips seem not to stress the ripstop as much as alice clips, D rings, or grimlocks. The Hydration Pockets on this bag will fit a 3L Platypus insulated Reservior, but you need a little room for expansion inside the main compartment... The pockets on the sides have drawstrings and are well designed, and the compression straps will secure many assorted sizes of large heavy metal items on either side... The suspension supports even lopsided loads very well.A+!---I am Excited to use an E-Stock pack finnaly after drooling at them for 2 years- and this one is the right one for me!---Anytime I Buy a Pack- Its gonna be one of theirs if I have anything to say about it.One Last Thing real quick:I also have a V69 Destroyer, the little brother of the Battleship pack- and Literal, just as the guy says on eberlestock.com in the video- "Its the same pack, Just Smaller"... Side by Side: The Pack, the Straps, The Pockets...The Hydro Pockets could be a consideration... the same 3L kinda hangs out more in the slightly smaller pockets of the Destroyer- for example.-Thanks for Reading!I Hope This Helps you decide that you need a great bag like this for all of your adventure equipment. -You Get what ya Pay For and This IS Worth it!

This Pack met my expectations and then surpassed them! This pack is huge, 100 liters with room for additional expansion if needed. It has alot of tie downs and molle type attachment points for lashing even more gear to the outside, though you will probably never need more room. It is extremely lightwieght for it's size, approx 7 1/2 lbs empty, and rides very comfortably. The pack is fully adjustable to fit anyone. A Dream to carry! The pack is BOTH front and top loading !!! and the interior is well thought out with pockets and tiedowns to keep gear organized. It is hydration compatable and has 2.. yes 2.. Hydration pockets. It keeps your load evenly balanced with well placed compression straps that also double as lash or cinch straps for holding gear. It is made of tough ripstop nylon and has a built in rain cover in the bottom of the pack for those stormy days. The waist belt is thick and oversised, exactly what you want for a pack of this size. The shoulder straps are thick and comfortable. For you hunters, There are external baskets and tiedowns to hold a rifle and you can actually fit a rifle down INSIDE this pack if you feel the need. It has duel storm collars and the rain cap has internal and external pouches. All zippers are snag free and have good zipper pulls attached. Price... This pack is extremely reasonable for what you get. Any serious outdoorsman will tell you a good pack is your bread and butter and is not cheap..Equivalent packs price ~ $ 700 - $900 ( kirfu packs )The only regret I have is not purchasing this sooner.

Best pack that money can buy!!! Is perfect for camping, hunting and much more. I love this pack. It is super durable and can take some serious punishment. I've had this bag loaded with a 110 pounds of hunting and camping gear and can pick it up by any of the carry handles and it has never even crossed my mind that that the seams will rip. The stitching on this pack is just insane and very strong. The zippers are heavy duty and are easy to open even with the pack bulged out with gear. This pack is also the most comfortable pack i've ever owned. The wide soulder pads spread out the weight nicely and the way the waist belt supports the weight is just amazing. Also the way the pack as a whole carries the weight it feels much lighter than other packs i have owned in the past. I had a cabelas alaskan pack 2 for 3 years and took it hunting and camping on multiple occasions and this pack just blows it out of the water. The eberlestock with all my gear just feels like it is atleast 30 pounds lighter than what it felt like in my alaskan pack 2 with the way it spreads the weight threw the shoulder and waist supports. I could go on and on about this pack and all the things that i love about it but you will just have to buy one for yourselves cause this pack in my oppinion well its just the best pack on the market for the money. Would highly recomend this pack to anyone if you want to buy a pack once and have a pack that you know will last you a lifetime. Thanks Eberlestock for the superior pack that you have made that i know i will enjoy for many years of all the outdoor activities that i enjoy and in knowing that i have something that will not fail me when it matters the most.
