With over a decade of performance in the field, the original Mainframe grew to be our most trusted modular hunting platform and the foundation of the Hunt EMOD system. Over the years, it has been adopted by a wide range of users, from serious alpine hunters to top-tier professionals in the tactical and long-range competition communities.
While maintaining and building on the original concept of the Mainframe, we developed the new Mainframe II with several updates to improve how comfortable the pack feels when you start adding weight on your back. We kept all of the key features from the original frame, like the durability and the meat shelf, and added our new Cradle Hip Belt, our new Contour Shoulder Harness, and elevated load lifters. These three features drastically improve ventilation, weight distribution, and overall comfort.
Additional attachment loops on the sides of the frame and 20mm compression straps with auto-locking buckles give you extra versatility and create options for securing heavy loads close to your core.
Whether you are a backcountry hunter or long-range tactician, the Mainframe II can be configured for any environment and comes with the same legendary durability as the first gen Mainframe.
Modularity with Hunt EMOD:
The Mainframe II functions as the backbone of your pack system, allowing you to stay flexible throughout the season. It can be paired with either the Vapor or Brooks series of packs, and will accommodate accessories like our Scabbard or Batwings.
Contour Shoulder Harness:
Mainframe II comes with our new Contour Shoulder Harness suspension system, making it easy to get an exact torso fit with unlimited height adjustment. By tailoring your fit, you can quickly improve load distribution and remove weight off your shoulders, reducing strain and discomfort. This correctly places weight on your hips and allows you to move more efficiently over long distances. Robust air-mesh padding on the harness promotes airflow and regulates your body temperature by dissipating heat as you move. Elevated load lifters allow you to adjust the pack's angle and bring the top of the pack closer to your center of gravity. With proper adjustment, you’ll have a more natural posture, and the pack will feel much lighter on your back.
Cradle Hip Belt:
Mainframe II also comes with the Cradle Hip Belt, our most comfortable hip belt to date. A silicon print on the lumbar pad keeps your pack and clothing positioned in place during your hunt, preventing clothing from riding up and rubbing. A retention buckle keeps the belt secure around your waist, and pull-forward straps allow you to easily tighten while on the move. Rear stabilizing straps help you prevent sway, helping to increase your endurance and keep you focused on the hunt.

Know Before You Buy
Haven't packed anything out but worn it weighted during a couple scouting trips and feels and fits great.
Awesome upgrades to this new mainframe! Bought this pack for my grandson for gis first elk hunt trip to New Mexico. He is so excited about it since his step dad and outfitter both rock the mainframe! Grandson is a step ahead. Love the new belt and adjustments on this pack as well as the shoulder straps! Thanks Elberlestock for listening to us out here!! Great pack!!
The color I wanted was not available; however, the Camo is okay and I can live with it. Bought for Fall hunt.
Ergonomics are great I do need to mess with the adjustments a bit. As far as versatility its phenomenal I have yet to find a pack frame this customizable and still have quality. I will definitely be putting it to the test for north Idaho bear, deer, elk, and everything else in between. Looking forward to using it more and getting more from the Eberlestock lineup!
Perfection. The framed L-Shape of the Mainframe II help keep the pack from tipping in the side-by UTV.
This, a scabbard, and batwings…Chef’s kiss!
First day out with this pack, I was able to double the amount of terrain I covered. I recommend this pack to any serious shed hunter. Very comfortable. It was very versatile while tying on antlers!
I’ve recently tested a few different packs and the Mainframe II has been the best and most comfortable. It can carry more than the Modframe if needed, and nothing will hang below your hips due to the shelf. Frame is highly customizable to setup for your needs.

Read Full Privacy PolicyJust for reference: Dress shirt, neck 15.5, sleeves 32/33, chest 42”, waist 32”; I am not tall, 5’8”, 180; Large Alturas fits great in the sleeves, drops right at the waist with just the correct amount of coverage on the back, waist is great without even having to tighten it and just a little snug across the chest. Definitely could fit a light base layer under it. Medium made me look like Tommy Boy. Excited to put it to work.
I went on 4 different hunts last year using a chest rig I got from hill people gear. It did do the job, but it’s no built for binos and a range finder. So I got this guy and the range finder case in just a few weeks ago. I can’t wait to use them on some upcoming hunts I have! They have their own place, nothing random gear in the same pocket getting in the way. I also love how quiet they are to use.
I bought the medium last year just before an antelope hunt. Worked great for the back straps and loins. So I got the large this year for an upcoming elk hunt. Just for some odds and ends. It’s well built, feels good in your hands, doesn’t feel cheap. Can’t wait to use them both this year.
I haven’t used it just yet. I have multiple Eberlestock bags it’ll fit. But last year on an elk hunt I only had a trash bag when it started raining. It worked but of course it wasn’t the best option. This products feels great and fits all my bags. I have another elk hunt coming up and can’t wait to use it if I need it!
So far so good, can't wait to use it this hunting season,
I love it. Its perfect!!
Great fanny pack. Perfect fit for my 2k11. Nice pockets for my cards.
I purchased another pack from Eberlestock as my EDC. It carries my laptop and other work-related items. The pack was designed to carry coms, but it works well for my needs. I did need to get creative when it came to carry my pistol. I've found a solution that works for me. Quality as always, perfect size and comfortable to carry.
I replaced a much more expensive Briggs & Riley messenger bag with the Fade Sling, and I honestly prefer it. It has a clean, modern design, feels well-made, and offers just the right amount of space and organization for everything I carry day-to-day.
It is comfortable, lightweight, and works equally well for business, travel, or casual use. The quality is excellent for the price, and I never feel like I am giving anything up compared with the more expensive bag.
So far, I am loving everything I buy from Eberlestock. The Fade Sling is another great product and an easy recommendation. Only wish I purchased it before the Briggs&Reilly.
The Fade Sling has been a welcome addition to my EDC.
Came from a badland xr pro. Love the more compact modular design with the bear spray and range finer pouch perfect set up for me
I am a LDPR shooter. I needed a bag that could haul everything I need to the range. Its fairly discreet and I was able to set up the bottom to hold lots of extra goodies as well. Real nioce quality and easy to carry comfortably even when fully loaded. Nice piece of kit.
Comfortable addition to the Switchblade. Highly recommend.
This thing is amazing! It is a great size and holds ALOT! The internal organization is superb! It makes me want to carry more stuff than I actually need. Built like a tank! I expect nothing less from eberlestock! If you are in the market, I would definitely recommend!
Its a perfect bag for my camera gear and accessories. Its well made and the oversized zipper pulls are a plus. The depth of the bag i great for keeping small items from falling out
