It's comfortable and easy to adjust to any preferences - Eberlestock Fac Track Backpack

Years ago I heard of this company after eyeballing some of my associates' packs and accessories. Upon researching some or their products, I was thrown aback by the price. After going through several common packs and perpetually agonizing over their faults in design, materials and workmanship, I sprung for the FAC pack. Upon opening the package, I was instantly confronted with a product of such superior quality, that I was embarrassed by my choices of packs in the past. I thought of the countless uncomfortable to miserable hours spent using common packs of lower prices. The unending frustration of all the shortcomings of their design, materials, workmanship and functionality.

The quality of DESIGN!, MATERIALS!, WORKMANSHIP! and FUNCTION! of this Eberlestock FAC pack is unlike anything I have seen in a pack since the early 80's. Nowadays, too many companies simply toss allot of compartments and Molle webbing onto a hastily designed pack and call it good. Everybody wants a tactical looking pack, but virtually none are up to the actual task of use and abuse. Not so with Eberlestock. This FAC pack is designed to be lived in and become a part of your body, not like some alien creature clinging to your back and perpetually torturing you.

I was very pleased how the internal frame system held a load and put the weight directly onto my hips. Even after several miles, it does not sag, lose shape, or settle onto my shoulders. Gone is the need to perpetually readjust the pack for comfort. My posture has notably improved whilst hiking as well.

I love the fact that there are not a boat load of stitched on compartments. I can put on accessories where I want them, and if I want them. I can arrange this pack to be trim and slim so it doesn't hang up on rocks, twigs and limbs. Or I can put on several accessories to meet the needs of a longer, or more complicated outing.

Basically, buy a common pack and suffer endlessly - maybe even quit getting out altogether. Or buy a real pack and enjoy every outing every time!
