Very impressed with this pack. I put about 12 miles on it during a horseback hunt, and it was easily the most comfortable pack I’ve ever used. I’ve packed around 50 lbs in it so far with two large Batwings, a lid, and my bow, and it carried the weight extremely well. Super comfortable and plenty of room for everything I needed.

Just what I was looking for.. Hopefully in the next couple weeks I will get to pack a deer out using this system. Over the past few years ive been using a pack that I was unable to remove the pack and when you have to make a second trip in it was horrible that I had to take the pack and not just the frame. This past weekend I was able to use the pack hiking with camera gear and a tripod. The mod frame was comfortable and the brooks pack did the job. I look forward to putting the miles on wearing this pack. I plan on doing a full review on my YouTube channel in the near future.

This is a mixed review. First, the pack did what I needed it to do during a five-day hunt. However, I’m disappointed with its durability and no longer have confidence that it will hold up to the use I expect from an Eberlestock pack.

During the hunt, the pack saw relatively little abuse. At some point, a tear developed on the bottom, although I’m not sure exactly when or how it happened. The pack was not exposed to anything particularly sharp. Its primary use was going from my house to my truck, to my ATV, to my back, and into the tent. I also made a point of not setting it down on sharp rocks or branches.

For a pack at this price point, and from a company whose products I’ve historically trusted for their durability, this is disappointing.

I’ll likely return to my Skycrane II with the Little Brother and Super Spike Duffle, which I’ve used for roughly ten years. Those pieces have been put through the wringer, and aside from some blood stains, they still look and function like new.

It seems that some durability may have been sacrificed in the move toward lighter-weight, more modern packs. While I may continue using the Modframe for hiking or camping, I don’t plan to rely on it for my hunts.

Overall, the pack performed well during my five-day hunt, but the early tear has significantly reduced my confidence in its long-term durability.

My personal complaints, I like to carry my 45 OWB and it seems that I will have to find another place to carry due to the massive hip belt straps.
The other engineering feature I can’t grasp is why the packs zip up to the frame and not down on the frame? Yeah you have a bungy that holds it, but it still pulls down and offers mediocre support for the heavy stuff up high.
Outside of the 2 things, the pack becomes awesome.

Haven't hauled anything heavy but this pack is of the best quality and comfortable also bought bat wings and the just one pack and that pack is awesome as well don't overlook it!!

Super comfortable. I love how easy it is to convert to meat hauling mode. Also love the modularity. The ability to switch out the bags is awesome. I have the brooks 3500 for day trips and the 7000 for extended hunts. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

I bought this pack for a Bighorn sheep hunt in CA. I was not able to use it much before the hunt (injury) and was concerned how it will perform. I wanted to get some miles on it loaded, but that didn’t happen. I’ve used eberlestock products before, but mainly EDC stuff. Was very happy with the performance of the pack! The load was well balanced with the way the pack is designed. Highly recommend this bag.

I got the Modframe in October, 2 days before they went on their Black Friday Sale. I asked Eberlestock if I could get credited for the price difference and they actually hooked me up! I love this company now...and I ended up spending more than that on their gear after I got the credit.

The Modframe itself is everything I was hoping for. I don't hunt at the moment, but I've been rucking and hiking with heavy weight trying to get back into shape. I started looking for alternatives to my Alice ruck after I had 75lbs in it and it rubbed a hole in my back that is now a scar. With the Modframe I usually carry 75-90lbs up a 1000 foot mountain in less than a half mile. This pack almost makes 90lbs seem light. Although I did try 125lbs 2 weeks ago and that was a little too heavy for me, but the Modframe handled it with ease. I don't know what they will ever do to improve it because it so comfortable to carry heavy weight. Putting bags on and taking them off is so easy it is almost unreal. I was even putting my 55-60lb kids in the brooks 7000 and swinging them around for a durability test. At first I was a little worried because the bags are so light, but me and the boys gained confidence in them very quickly and they wore me out and were having a blast.

I can't say enough good things about this frame and bag, they are everything that I was hoping for and more. I know that it will carry as much weight as my spine can handle and it will do this in comfort and not rub holes into my skin.

Used the Modframe Pack with the Batwings to pack out a whitetail buck over 1.5 miles in PA public land. Once you have the pack adjusted properly to fit your personal frame it is unbeatable. Packing out a buck that far is rough in general but I will never drag again!

Helped a buddy pack out his first ever elk using this mod frame. Handled the trek and the weight well. Comfortable to wear for hours. Also washed stains out well.

The Modframe is a truly versatile pack with endless options to mount storage and equipment and can even be used to add weight and train for your next hunt. Very strong out of well made materials, light and very comfortable. Completely satisfied

Last year I suffered a bad injury and have to have my left shoulder joint completely replaced. It was virtually impossible for my shoulder to bear any weight at all. No packs that I had even seemed remotely possible to use, and I figured there was no way I could go on the hunt I had planned. I ordered this pack and fit it as directed, went on the hunt, and was hauling loads up to 80lbs, and I never even thought about pressure on my shoulder. Absolutely amazing. I'm sold on Ebelestock gear! And yes, I got my moose!

Paired this frame with a brooks 7k for a 10 day DIY Public land trip. And have absolutely 0 complaints. Hauled three bulls of the mountain and would haul three more tomorrow. Would love to see a Eberlestock water bottle pouch to add to my waist band!

Very happy with the design and functionality of the mod frame

I have taken out a couple of hunts and even though I haven’t “used it,” to carry a harvest, the fact that it’s light weight and comfortable makes hiking easier. I like the design in that I do not have to carry an actual pack(unless I want bring more things), for a small morning or evening hunt.
I was using a newer military issue rucksack for hunts, which worked to carry my spotter’s scope, a small stool, snacks, etc but I didn’t have space for a harvest. Where I hunt, our hills can be extremely steep with tall shrubs and weeds, making it hard to see the ground for hazards. So, for me to bring harvest back to my truck, via a fireman’s carry isn’t the smartest.

The product seems well built. I haven't had a chance to use it in the field yet, so I am unable to give a proper review.

I am highly impressed with this frame it is a huge improvement over my last pack.

Awesome

The inly thing I have to compare it to is the ruck sack I carried in the army. This thing is infinitely more comfortable. I like how it keeps the weight off my shoulders and the super thick lower back pad. The only thing that hurts after a long hike is my thighs.

Very nice piece of equipment. Used for elk archery in unit 12 Idaho (steep country)
Paired with batwings and am super happy with the setup.
Very adjustable, comfortable and very nice to look at.
Huge lover of all Eberlestock bags. My wife and I love y’all’s stuff.

Im on my second season with this frame and the Brooks 3500 pack. I haven't had any problems with the pack I love its modularity, price, fit and ability to pack meat but the frame or straps are pretty Squeeky. If i could give the frame a star rating it'd be 4 out of 5 just because of the inherent squeek. The Brooks 3500 pack is a 5 of 5 though.

I haven’t hunted with the Mod frame yet .
I believe it’s going to be a game changer this fall .

Great frame. Have been using internal frame packs, and they ride well, but it’s difficult to add on extra tools. This frame enabled me to carry the extra stuff close to my body, and I can adjust the pack I’m taking. Love it.

Taking it on my north idaho archery elk hunt in September and whitetail later in oct nov. dirwt time teying it out thsi year
