Eberlestock backpacks display versatility and flexibility for a variety missions, and go far beyond anything in prior existence in terms of their function, features, and design. At their heart is a philosophy that seeks agility and performance, and a fundamental belief in the importance of quality. We know where these packs are bound for. We expect them to be reliable in the far reaches of our planet, because we care about the people that will be using them.

For activities where you're carrying a gun and you need both hands free, such as rappelling, Eberlestock packs are unsurpassed. Also, for those who carry more than one weapon, an excellent system is to carry a heavy rifle in the Backscabbard™, and leave your hands free for a secondary weapon. If a situation calls for the weapon carried in the pack, you drop the one in your hands onto a sling and reach up and pull out the heavy gun. It's simple, and it's smart.

The Phantom introduces a new type of tactical pack system; it's the first product that provides an integrated drag bag and backpack. It allows you to carry your heavy weapon in the backpack, either with or without the concealing top-cover. If the cover is not mounted, you can withdraw a full-scale sniper weapon from the pack very quickly. Or, with the cover over the weapon, nobody needs to know what you are carrying. And if you leave the Control Clips undone, you can still pull the gun right out.

At left is shown the abrasion resistant DuPont Hypalon drag surface of the drag bag, and the re-configured pack. Note that the waistbelt can be removed, and the shoulder harness can be mounted to the bag so that the pack can be used as a conventional, non-scabbard pack.

The modular system lets you choose how much or how little of the system you need for your mission: The full set, just the Backscabbard, just the pack, or a drag bag.

The Phantom pack is a Gunslinger-sized pack in its main load bay, but offers a little more capacity because it is equipped with outboard hydration/radio pockets. It offers the ability to remove the bag and straps from the patented Backscabbard™, which can then be combined with the top-cover to make an excellent drag bag.

The Phantom is a front-loader, with two levels of varying-sized tuck-pockets lining its interior, PALS racks inside and out, and a fold-down shelf that can be used to divide the main compartment into upper and lower chambers.

It will carry two 3-liter hydration kits, mounted in side pockets.

It features a longer waistbelt, with a 5 x 3 PALS matrix on each side.

The Phantom incorporates Eberlestock's unique approach to a variable-length gun case / drag bag, and allows you to carry a wide variety of tactical weapons. It will accommodate most light arms that military and police forces use.

The top-cover incorporates a pull-out sleeve that goes over the butt of the rifle and the optics. It provides a good amount of overlap for keeping debris out of the gun compartment when dragging. The bag can fully enclose a weapon up to 60" in length.

NEW FEATURE! The pack includes a lightweight pull-out rain cover, which stows in a pocket on the bottom of the main compartment. It can be used to cover the whole pack and the weapon that's being carried, or just the pack -- so that you can pull your weapon from the Backscabbard.
