Look up the Eberlestock pack fitting video and that will show the basics of setting it up. If everything is fitting and your load lifters are that high it will help cary heavy weight but you might not be able to look up as easily when climbing. Realize when you load the pack it will sink down so...
Everyone keeps saying go with tall but I wonder how many of those guys are wearing their pack correctly. With the regular or tall they have the same amount of ladder rungs. The functionality of the load lifters is more only functional or has maxed its functionality if you are on the bottom 4...
I bought a regular and just got done using it with a little big too and a mystery ranch daypack lid to
carry 55-68lb over 28 miles in the sawtooth mountains. Most comfortable pack I’ve used so far. When I did the measurements I realized the harness wouldn’t even go low enough for me on the tall...
Did you buy the hunter or the larger daypack lid? I was debating on doing one of those to put on top of a non mystery ranch setup but was hoping to get a used that’s an older model but I’m open to any. The older model or those with the older style buckle would fit all my other buckles though the...
I’m looking for an older MR daypack lid, preferably one with the 1” strap attachments between the two pockets but am open to any you may have. Message me if you have one you don’t use or want to part with. I’m in the Phoenix East Valley.
Thanks
Marbles, I'm curious besides the load lifting what makes the K3 that much better? Is the hip pad better, back padding? What makes it more comfortable and stable? I appriciate you comments.
Marbles, thanks for your input. I’m curious if your friend had the regular or tall mainframe. The tall one has some pretty good load lifting ability and the regular does too if your torso is 18 and under. I was surprised when I fit the regular properly that it came up decently high especially...
Thanks everyone for the input. Loper, I have shifted my load since hiking during my scouting days as a kid. It was partially done out of necessity. Some of my trips I hauled 100lbs for multiple days with jansport external and internal framed packs. Without shifting my load my hips would bruise...
