Eberlestock rucksacks and pack systems at Recon Company – American precision for snipers, hunters and special forces

Eberlestock has an unusual origin: Glen Eberle, founder and still CEO today, was an Olympic biathlete (Sarajevo 1984) and a passionate hunter. What he lacked was a rucksack in which he could carry his long gun safely and with quick access, without it hindering his sporting performance. This led to the founding of a company in 1985 – and the name speaks for itself: ‘Eberle’ after his surname, and ‘Stock’ referring to the English term for a rifle stock. American snipers were among the first customers. As an ISO 9001-certified retailer, we at Recon ensure that only products meeting our verified quality standards are included in our range – and Eberlestock is one of the few brands in this price segment where we do not have to compromise.

Eberlestock Halftrack – The rucksack for marksmen and emergency services

The Eberlestock Halftrack is the brand’s best-selling model – a robust day rucksack featuring a MOLLE system, an ergonomic carrying system and side tunnel pockets for a hydration bladder or tripods. No integrated long-barrelled weapon holster – if that’s what you’re looking for, go for the G2 Gunslinger II or G4 Operator, which allow a long-barrelled weapon to be carried between the back panel and the main compartment. The Eberlestock Halftrack is available in Multicam, Military Green and other camouflage patterns. The Eberlestock Halftrack Backpack F3 Multicam is the most popular configuration amongst law enforcement agencies – 500D and 1000D Cordura nylon depending on the load-bearing zone, with a height-adjustable carrying system.

Eberlestock Switchblade, Bandit and Little Trick – Compact systems

Not every operation requires 80 litres. The Eberlestock Switchblade is the brand’s compact daypack – quick access, low-profile, MOLLE-compatible. Available in Dry Earth and other colours. The Eberlestock Bando Bag is the shoulder-carried option for short operations and EDC. The Eberlestock Little Trick is the smallest rucksack in the range – a compact daypack built to the same material standards as the larger models. For anyone looking for the Eberlestock rucksack experience without the expedition-grade capacity.

Eberlestock Mainframe and Frame Pack – The modular system

The Eberlestock Mainframe is the centrepiece of the modular system: a carrying frame onto which different pack bags can be mounted – from a compact daypack to an expedition system. The Eberlestock F1 Mainframe and the Eberlestock Frame Pack System allow you to configure a rucksack specifically for the task at hand, rather than buying a new rucksack for every situation. The Eberlestock FAC Track is a standalone 3-day rucksack, originally developed for forward air controllers – featuring its own carrying system, not an accessory. The Eberlestock Upranger is a specialised range bag for the shooting range: It is placed on the ground and opens out like a suitcase, providing organised access to pistols, ammunition, ear protection and shooting range accessories. It is not an expedition rucksack – for multi-day operations and tours, the G4 Operator or the V90 Battleship are the right choice.

Eberlestock Load Carrier and Rifle Support – Specialised Accessories

The Eberlestock load carrier is a carrying frame for bulky loads – originally developed for transporting game after a successful hunt, but equally suitable for heavy equipment in the field. The Eberlestock rifle rest is an integrated support system for shooting from a standing or kneeling position, accessible directly from the rucksack.

Let’s be honest: Eberlestock is high-end – and the prices reflect that. If you’re looking for an affordable day rucksack, you’ll find better options at Helikon-Tex or MFH. If you’re looking for a rucksack that works in tandem with your weapon, will last for ten years and means you won’t have to worry about your kit whilst on duty, go for Eberlestock.
