Since 2006, we can see Marine Scout Snipers with Eberlestock backpacks - G3 Phantom and GS05 Gunslinger models
Here you got some informations about the first pack:
Eberlestock G3 Phantom
Eberlestock started production of this model around 2006. The older 2006 version is now sold out anywhere and was replaced by newer version with some minor modifications - double compression straps on the sides replaced by one strap with fas-tex buckle, thicker harness with ventilation holes. So let's have a look on the newer version.
I won't write here a lot of info, because most of it you can read on Eberlestock web sites
The capacity of the pack is about 52 litres
One of the advantages is that you can simply remove the pack and carry backscabbard as a simple drag bag - for this purpose, the backscabbard features with a carry handle
Main compartment:
Rain cover:
Hydration sleeves:
Top compartment:
Top cover:
Eberlestock GS05 Gunslinger is same size as phantom, but lacks the side cargo pockets, releasable backscabbard and is classic top-loading backpack.
Since 2008, Gunslinger is officially issued to Scout Snipers:
