[jpnix56]

ok for fathers day i have a little bit of money to spend on a pack. which would you pick i relize the halftrack has more room but as a family we all have our own pack so i have split up gear as best i can. which do yall think is a beter pack?? most comfort over distance?

cannot speak for the everlestock as ive never used one of their packs. but have used the trizip for awhile now and really like that pack. the mystery ranch harness is the best ive ever used. have overpacked that sucker and no problemo. fully adjustable to yr body. very well made pack that shld hold up to many years of use. large industrial strength zippers and pulls. tho it is not made in the usa. its not the lightest pack ive used for its size but far from the heaviest. the waist belt is well padded and really gets the weight off yr shoulders. it also has molle straps and easily accepts pouches and/or blades. 4 outta 5 on the trizip. the point comes off for less pockets internal and external than i prefer. but plenty o molle straps to attach pockets with. everything else is spot on for me.

I used to have a Halftrack but sold it recently because I just never used it. It is a nice pack, very comfortable. It has quite a few different compartments, which is good for keeping everything organized. It has Molle everywhere which is good if you like to add pouches. Those packs are probably fine for lighter loads, but I wouldn't strongly recommend them for big loads of gear....

Eberle takes pack construction and design to a level untouched by 99% of the market. There's really no comparison between the two. Glen Eberle is a bangup guy with a ton of history and experience. He's kinda the Jeff Randall of the pack industry.
