Nice load carrying frame, good quality. I am knocking it one star for the awkward design choices Eberlestock is famous for. The laser-cut material could easily accommodate at least two more rows of molle cut-outs and the lines of the laser-cut molle should go all the way to the top ant the bottom of the material. The loops on the side to accommodate the compression straps should be more, giving many more choices of fastening different loads, also at least two should have been included on top and bottom of the molle panel. The shoulder straps though nicely padded, are sewn on their sides in a way that ensures that they will cut in to the bearer's chest if a real load is carried, this is especially awkward since Eberlestock has an nicer padded shoulder strap system with other packs designed to carry lighter loads. The waist belt was a nice surprise, since although I always thought it looked flimsy it is actually quite sturdy and should be sufficient for most of the loads, though again it is somewhat of a head-scratcher since Eberlestock also has a much thicker hip belt in their line up, and this is a (heavy) load carrying frame. Last but not least there is no real connection between the hip belt ant the frame itself other than the velcro attachment and the pocket it sits in, this makes it seem to me that the frame is more hanging of the belt, instead of pushing in to it. Having said that, I still think this carrier frame is well worth its money, there are just many awkward design choices that seem to hamper it, which could easily be fixed at little to no cost at all, hence the 4/5 stars. I will try to give an update when I have put it through some serious use. For reference my go to backpack for now was a "Bergan's of Norway 2095 130 Ltr. Alpinist"

Very valuable product. You can see how well the design has been thought through.
Unfortunately, the last perfect touch is missing with the belt, where the excess lengths cannot be rolled up like the others.
Otherwise top quality material. Comfort is immediately there. Setting options and variants super and easy.
I absolutely recommend the product.

I use the Halftrack and Tomahawk - both great backpacks.
The F1 mainframe rounds off my equipment perfectly.
I combined it with the Batwing Pouches, the Spike Camp Duffel and the Fanny Top.
It is very comfortable for my back and will primarily be used for my winter tours with a tipi and a tent stove.

Transport fast and good, product according to expectations. However, I received a very bad receipt for the purchase, why can not you get a normal receipt via email? Had I received a normal receipt, it would have been 5 stars (I even emailed the supplier and asked for a receipt but what I got looks like a child has written and I will leave that to my accountant !!!)

Great Quality. I only wish, that there was a better way to use the mainframe with batwings and a vapor pack. (You need to strap the vapor packs over(!) the batwings at the moment. Before i got the items i was thinking, that you could easily attach the batwings left and right of the vapor pack. That is not the case.

Top notch quality. I wish the molle on the back was a bit more accessible.

Great workmanship, excellent concept. Only two things puzzling: - just one "catch" to hold zipper on top side - why no "strap-ties" on the load lifters?

Nothing really beats Eberlestock when it comes to quality. The frame is very light and as versatile as it gets. A packframe gives you unlimited options when it comes to how and what to carry. This is going to replace all my other backpacks (except my Osprey bag for camera runs) as it gives so many more uses, such as it can be used as a chair and a stepladder. I often collect wood pieces, roots, and bark in the forest and this is just perfect for it. The only minus is that there isn't an opening to insert a water bladder, but it´s something that I will just make myself.
