Eberlestock Brute 3500: The Ultimate 60L Pack for Hands-Free Rifle Carry and 2-Day Hunting Comfort

• The Eberlestock Brute 3500 Hunting Pack is a standalone, internal-frame system built for western hunters who need to haul heavy loads on 1-2 day missions. This field-proven pack eliminates the need for complex modular parts, giving you a rugged 60L-class hauler that is ready for the mountain right out of the box.
• Haul Up to 60 Liters of Gear (3,500 Cubic Inches): This high-capacity pack provides enough space for all your essential mountain gear plus extra room for meat hauling. The 330D Ripstop Nylon construction ensures the bag stays lightweight at 6 lbs 4 oz while remaining tough enough to handle jagged rocks and heavy loads.
• Protect Your Firearm with Scabbard-Ready Design: The Brute 3500 is built to integrate directly with Eberlestock rifle scabbards for hands-free hiking in steep terrain. This allows you to carry your primary weapon securely against your back, keeping your center of gravity stable while protecting your optics from debris.
• Zero Gear Shift with the Cradle Hip Belt & Contour Harness: The new micro-adjustable shoulder harness and silicon-printed hip belt prevent the pack from sliding or rubbing during heavy climbs. These ergonomic stabilizers work with the built-in sternum strap to distribute weight across your hips rather than straining your shoulders.
• Repel Rain and Moisture with Water-Resistant Coating: The exterior fabric is treated to shed water, keeping your clothing and electronics dry during sudden mountain storms. For extreme conditions, the pack's streamlined shape allows for easy cover integration, ensuring your gear stays functional in snow or heavy downpours.

Eberlestock Brute 3500 Multi-Day Hunting Pack FAQs

What is the Eberlestock Brute 3500? 

The Eberlestock Brute 3500 60L Pack is a ready-to-use backpack made for hunting. It has a built-in metal frame to help you carry heavy gear or meat without hurting your back.

What colors can I buy? 

You can choose from four colors: Military Green, Mountain (green camo), Multicam (tan/brown camo), and Dry Earth (solid tan).

What does "1 to 2 days" mean? 

This tells you how much gear the Eberlestock Brute 3500 Hunting Pack can hold. It has enough space for your food, water, and tools for a one-night or two-night trip in the woods.

Why is this called a "mid-season" pack? 

Mid-season is the time of year when it starts to get cold and the weather changes quickly. The Eberlestock Brute 3500 Multi-Day Hunting Pack is strong enough to keep your gear dry and safe during these chilly and windy months.

Is the Contour Shoulder Harness important? 

Yes. This is a special set of padded straps that curve to fit your shoulders perfectly. It helps the bag stay comfortable even when it is very heavy.

How do I carry my rifle with this bag? 

The bag is "Scabbard Ready." This means you can add a special holder (sold separately) to carry your gun on your back. This lets you keep your hands free for climbing or using trekking poles.

Can I drink water while I walk?

 Yes. There is a small hook inside to hold a water pouch (bladder). You can run a straw out of the bag so you can drink without stopping.

Will my gear stay dry if it rains? 

The bag is made of special fabric that pushes water away. It will keep your things dry during light rain or snow. For very heavy rain, we suggest using a rain cover.
