Reviews & Ratings for Eberlestock Mission Lid — 2 reviews — Page 1

I was looking for a way to add a small medical/trauma bag to my B.O.B. (a surplus M81 molle II rucksack). I needed something easy to attach to the outside and something easily accessible. After striking out with the idea of re-purposing different kinds of pouches, and briefly considering just straight strapping a med pack to the outside, the idea of adding a flap/lid came to mind. I couldn't find anything that would work until I stumbled across this same product on E-Bay. I did a lot of research and watched a lot of videos, and knowing it may not fit perfectly or work, I ordered it anyway. Not only does it work, it'll fit fine and it's perfect for my use. The mesh pocket is great for boo-boo items like band-aids, and gauze. The biggest pocket will hold pressure bandages, quik clot, a stethoscope, chest seals, a pulse ox, manual BP cuff, ace wrap. There is a smaller pocket that's perfect for gloves, markers, casualty cards, a small pack of wipes, hand sanitizer. I did have to buy a couple of buckles for it to attach to my molle ruck the way I want, but I expected additional expenses because I'm not attaching it to an Eberlestock pack. Even so, I highly recommend this. I will update with pictures when I'm done.

A nice way to get a little bit of extra easy-to-access volume out of your pack
The Lid is, like all of the Eberlestock items I've worked with, very well constructed. The quality is high and the placement and sizing of the compartments is well thought-out. This is probably the first upgrade I'd do to a Frame + Pack configuration that needs a little more volume.

They mention that this is designed to be paired with the Load Panel, and that's definitely true. There is included hardware that allows you to secure the lid without the Load Panel, but that hardware is pretty clearly designed to work well with the Assault Pack, but not the Medic Pack (the clips are designed to connect to a vertical line of MOLLE, which the Medic Pack doesn't have; you can connect them anyway, but it's awkward). Given how well thought out the rest of the Mission EMOD line is, I found it a surprising oversight
