+RobAGD Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I have just recived my new Camel Pack BFM from Team Shuey and thought I would post some pics of it as CB web site does this thing no justice. and here are the items for a size up It will hold a few pens, and some gadgets without any problem. The key holder is a bit cheesey. I killed the one in my Rim Runner in 2 weeks of use. The side pockets hold a good sized 1lt bottle but wont quite zip all the way up. bottles A few things. This is a Mil Spec Pack. It has a HARD plastice back support with an alumium bar running down your spin. I pulled this out as I found it too stiff for my liking. This pack also comes with the hose already in the insulation pack. The stiching on this thing is beast. Well made and solid. I hope to be giving it a work out Sunday in the PA area. Illam also trying to get a few pics of me with my Medium ALICE pack for another size comparison. The Med Alice is bigger I think, and has the frame whick I kinda liked, but this had some better features. The 3 small outter pockets, I am about to mount another 2 100oz Bladders to the pack if needed, I liked the Mini Office area dadgum nice. I like the neat strap orginizers that are on all the extra webbing for keeping the extra neatly bundled if its not needed. If all goes well I'll have a few more pics later too day. -Robert Quote Link to comment

There is a thread in the Forsale fourm with a lot of replys of happy customers.

Sportcat Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Thanks for all of the pics Rob. Yep... looks like camelbak.com does NOT do this pack justice. I had no idea the pack has all of these awesome features. Anyway, mine is on the way. Give us an update after you get to use it on the trail a few times. Quote Link to comment
TNRonin Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Rob, thanks for the info!!!!! If I had not just became a MAXPEDITION dealer I would be all over this (sunk the funds into inventory)! Great pics. So you took out the panel, did you try to form it to your comfort? Too much of a hassle, or do you just not like this feature? Thanks.

+RobAGD Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 TNRonin - Well as I dont carry a super heavy load in the pack I dont like a stiff back pannel but as I have never had one, it's more than likley that I am just not use to it. So I pulled it out. Did a little caching this weekend with a pack load in the 25# range. The pack was extremely comfortable and road niely on m back. The load was carried well acrossmy shoulders and hips. No hot spots or bad rubs. ONe thing I noticed and it's just a matter of me not being use to the thickness of the pack so I was catching on things like low logs and stuff that I am use to being able to just duck under. As I get use to the pack this will be less of an issue for me. The extra pockets and better lay out made logging and trading items a bit easier. BTW - I LOVE THIS PACK !! It a tad bigger than what I really need but I am sure I will find a way to fill it up with something. Anyway I am off to slep under my desk for a while. Long weekend and long drives wear me out. -Robert Quote Link to comment
