The Eberlestock Mini-Me is a pack with a 3l Source Tactical hydration bladder . At first glance, the pack offers some unexpected features. Whether you are a cyclist on your afternoon ride or you go for a short hike in the country, thanks to the hydration pack and spacious pockets you will not come short. Although the Mini-Me is suitable for anyone, it is designed primarily for hunters.
Even though the Mini-Me looks small at first glance, it provides a lot of stowage space, which can even be expanded via various modular features as it is customary for Eberlestock. If we look at the front of the pack, there is a small pocket with a water-proof zip, which will reliably protect your electronic devices such as GPS, plus other two larger pockets, one with a zip and a built-in organizer, second one is open. These pockets are great for stashing smaller items like a first aid kit, water purification tablets, tools, gloves, hat etc.
Hunters will definitely appreciate the mesh bird bag on the bottom with volume of just under 9l, where you can carry your catch. Yes, this is a hunters' pack as it should be. With a few additional Eberlestock components you will easily attach a comfortable bow carrier.
Nevertheless, the Mini-Me features one more surprise. At the back of the pack is a wrap-around zip. By opening it, you create a tunnel, where you can insert any type of scabbard using integrated fixing features; this way you can carry your rifle as close to the body as possible for the maximum comfort and weight distribution. Moreover, in the middle of the pack is a spacious load space with a hydration bladder, which is large enough to accommodate a long scope or other equipment and clothes.
Although the shoulder straps are thin, they feature quality padding and breathability due to the used 3D mesh. An elastic sternum belt will help you better distribute the carried load and in case you needed some extra stability, you can always pull out a hidden waist belt from the secret pockets on the sides. When designing this pack, the manufacturer simply thought of everything important to make the Mini-Me become an asset, not a burden. On shoulder straps there are several additional loops for attaching equipment including a loop for the hydration tube so it did not get in the way. On the sides of the pack you find some more MOLLE compatible webbing, just in case… The back padding is rich and enables good ventilation through a channel alongside the spine. The pack fits comfortably and its back panel is ventilated. Approximately in the middle of the pack is a compression strap, by which you can compress the pack for better distribution of weight.
