This Eastmans gear review features Eberlestock’s Mainframe II backpack. It’s a new and improved version of the original tried and tested Mainframe. It combines all the durability and modularity of the original design with better load lifters, a new waistbelt and harness adjustment system. All bags and accessories compatible with the original Mainframe will still easily zip onto the new design. This pack is a customizable, do-all, heavy-load hauler and worth a look if you’re shopping for a new hunting pack for the upcoming fall. Big game hunter Ike Eastman breaks down all of its new features and what he’s excited to test out this hunting season.
