Phantom

We trust this pack enough to buy again

This is not our first Eberlestock purchase. We have already bought Eberlestock packs for Israeli soldiers, and the feedback from the field has been excellent. The Phantom is a well-built, compact sniper/field pack with a serious design for carrying a rifle and essential equipment. It is smaller than the G4 Operator, but that can be an advantage when a soldier needs a more compact setup and does not want to carry unnecessary volume. The quality, materials, and overall construction feel reliable. Based on our previous experience and field feedback, we continue choosing Eberlestock because the soldiers trust this gear.

Wow!!!

I tend to be pretty critical of the design and execution of outdoor gear. So on the rare occasions when I’m 360-degree satisfied, or impressed, by facets related to build quality, sensible design - heck even the “cool factor” - it’s worthy of a celebration. Moreover, when I’m able to find gear of the this quality at a reasonable price, I feel like I found a purple unicorn. All this summarizes my thoughts on this backpack. So far, I’ve used my Phantom pack (which I got at an awesome, sale price here) for some training hikes. The rifle scabbard easily swallows my 16” DMR/MSR and my NRL-style rifle fits equally well with the adjustable top in-place. I love the dufflebag-scale space and the details provided to keep a reasonable degree of organization possible. When loaded, the pack seems to have a more balanced feel than other packs. It handles the weight easily and has no shortage of adjustments to personalize it to your ever-changing choices of what you wear. The zippers, stitching and fabric are all robust and the multi-cam colors are spot-on; no pink hues like the cheaper stuff. I’m not a fanboy of Eberlestock but I have to give credit where it's due; this is an excellent pack from every angle. I suppose the worst part of Eberlestock bags is trying to keep yourself to buying just one.
