Eberlestock Modframe + Vapor 5000
This is Eberlestock's lighter alpine configuration: the Vapor 5000 bag (5,000 ci, about 82 L) on the Modframe, the brand's June 2025 frame. There is no bundle SKU, so $568 is the two parts bought together ($349 frame plus $219 bag), and the pair weighs about 7.7 lb. The frame's integrated load panel holds meat against the back.

Eberlestock Brooks 3500
The Brooks 3500 is an attachment bag, not a complete pack: 3,626 cu in (about 59 liters) of roll-top storage that mounts to Eberlestock's Mainframe II or Modframe, both sold separately. The bag is $189 and either frame is $349, so the two bought separately come to $538, but Eberlestock sells the bag bundled with either frame for $457.30.

Top and full panel access, dual 530 ci spotting-scope side pockets, and Kifaru's PALS/K-clip accessory ecosystem define it, with a comfortable rating to 80 lb loads.

Mystery Ranch's day-to-overnight meat hauler, refreshed for 2025 on the new MYSTERIUM frame with lighter Robic Kodra ripstop and a weatherproof CORDURA 5PM coating. The U-shaped 270-degree zipper opens the bag flat, and the patented Overload shelf turns a 43-liter day pack into a legitimate elk-quarter hauler.
