Not sure. What is local for you? As for me in NY. Nope not even close. As far as packs go I jave to do a lot of research and buy in the blind. Luckily when I buy in the blind I have narrowed it down between two really good product. So its a win win.Somewere closer to wa than bozeman :chuckle: i was just curious if anyone carried there packs, i didnt see a dealer locater on there site. i dont doubt the pack is a good product, that doesnt mean its right for everybody

I wonder if it is made in China? I have a Mr pack and love it. Another one worth checking out is propper packs.from what i can discern they appear to be made in ID but thats not stated.
anyone plan to hold out until the tenzing packs come out?

Eberlestock packs are made in Boise, ID. You can visit their factory. 100% American. :tup:
There are a few threads on snipershide about them being made in Vietnam. It would make sense as there is a ton of labor in one.

Jason LIES!!! He's a spy sent from Badlands. (At least that's how I will choose to lie to myself. :chuckle: ):chuckle: I figured someone would say that, thats why I added the pic.

But the wife and I just returned from Wholesale Sports and I looked at three Eberlestock packs while I was there, the Blue Widow, Just One and the DragonFly and none of the tags on the packs said where they were made, the tags looked just like the one in my pack except they didn't say made in Vietnam :dunno:

Post by: Jason on December 24, 2011, 08:17:29 PM
It's called PhotoShop. All badlands spies are taught how to do that. :chuckle:I love it, replaced my badlands 2200 with it and have been extremely pleased.
Jason how do you like the X2. I am thinking about getting my wife that pack.
I do want to step up to a bigger pack and will still go with something from Eberlestock
You probably bought the only one made in Vietnam :chuckle:That would be my luck :chuckle:

High country I did forget to mention thanks for setting me strait on where eberlestock is made. You to Jason. I will still probably get my wife the x2 but I will have to think long and hard about the warhammer if its made in Vietnam. I will let you know what I hear from them.No prob :tup: I'm actually bummed finding that out myself, hopefully you have some better news from them, I personally would rather pay a little more money for it to be made here.

That's my dilemma. For what a Mystery Ranch CC costs I could buy myself the warhammer and my wife the X2. I want to buy American but :dunno: I have the same dillema with optics right now too. I think Vortex is American as I am gonna get.

I'm not absolutely sure by your post, but you do know that Vortex optics aren't made in the USA right? :dunno:
Post by: runamuk on December 29, 2011, 07:29:34 PM
also to be considered lots of manufacturers do thing to get contracts with "big" stores like walmart has specific electronics made for them with brand names put on them but very specific price guidelines so the sony tv at walmart is not the same as the sony tv at a smaller shop....
might cut them a little slack and call and ask which are still made here in USA
Post by: SWHUNTER on December 29, 2011, 07:36:19 PM
My Blue widow broke last year. one of the main straps ripped right off the pack. That was the 3rd time it had been used.
I'm selling both packs for damn cheap and saving up to buy something quality and made in the USA.

Sorry I should have clarified. I know their stuff is made in Asia but their company is American owned.
I think unless I get a great deal on kifaru or kuiu, they are out of my price range. Nimrod makes a great frame but they dont have a pack that interests me. I have wanted the crewcab by mystery ranch for sometime. So maybe I'll end up with that.
But again I love the warhammer concept. I have til April to decide.

My question to Eberlestock
Hello I am wanting to know where your packs are made? I have an X2 and it says made in Vietnam on the tag, currently I am looking for a bigger pack so I have been looking at other packs of yours and have found that the tags do not say where their made, are all your packs made in Vietnam?
Thanks Jason
Eberlestocks reply
We have factories in California and Vietnam where we manufacture our products. Most of our commercial products are made in the latter; in the backpack manufacturing industry (you will see this if you go look inside any high-end retail backpack), the best quality and reliability, bar none, comes out of Vietnam, and our operations there have allowed us to develop and manufacture some unprecedented and extraordinary products.

Thanks Jason. If they use the California plant to make their military packs that's good. Because the warhammer I want is the military style, so I can haul elk quarters and use it as a go-bag in the event I get shot down.lets just worry about quarters of elk K bud ;)

fwiw i love my wilderness pack specialties
I have started to look at these pretty hard. Do you like them a lot? Did you get to pack meat with it. I really like the concept of the "handipack" design for hauling meat and strapping the gear over the top of the meat. I think the compact frame combo would be perfect for my wife and Dad. I am looking at the Bighorn combo. Are the harnesses adjustable on these packs? Anyways please if you could give me a rundown on them. Thanks.

only thing i dont like and im thinking of mailing the bag back to have them add is a small inside pocket to hold a bladder.
