Question: Does this one need or have the new required "modifications" to the shoulder straps?
Document: The main pack's compression straps, the assault pack's compression straps, the assault pack's shoulder and waist adjustment straps, and the hydration pack's shoulder straps all have velcro strap "keypers" on them that allow you to roll up the straps and tie them up so they don't flap around.
It is also VERY water resistant so unless you're going to hump this beast long distances in the pouring rain, there's really no need for an accessory waterproof pack cover.I LOVE my new FILBE and have absolutely no regrets whatsoever :)Also check out: YouTube 'USMC FILBE PACK - Preview - The Outdoor Gear Review'
*The Good*What you'll get:Assuming this item is the complete system, you'll receive the following (I did at least):*Main Pack pre-assembled with frame, hip belt, and shoulder harness assembly (*Edit:  after getting the stitching reinforced, I noticed that the bottom compression straps weren't attached correctly and the bottom of the pack wasn't attached to the frame; that would explain how it felt like the pack was swaying more than it should.
LOTs 1 thru 135 require the quick-release straps and load adjuster straps to either be replaced with the modification kit (good luck finding it) or the stitching has to be reinforced by the buyer. LOTs 136 thru 211 only need the load adjuster straps to be replaced/reinforced. The marine corps has a modification kit they use to fix the poor quality straps, but the kit is next to impossible to find for us civilians.
Only the quality, straps (the FILBE's are unpadded), and logo-area are different. It has one 3L main compartment for the 3L water bladder, a zippered upper pouch/lid that also buckles into place (you can stow objects like a jacket behind the pouch if it's unzippered), a zippered slip-pocket on the upper pouch, and a zippered lower-pouch with 2 mesh pockets and a key-ring.
This is a fairly new issued main pack as well as assault pack, all other misc accessories come with it. Very impressive, If I had the money I would def buy it.
*The Bad*Height Adjustment:The pre-assembled pack I received was in "standard height mode". I'm 5'10" and the standard setting was too short, so I had to undo the shoulder harness and set up the pack in "tall mode". The pack is adjusted perfect for me, but I can see taller guys having problems adjusting since there are only two height settings for the shoulder harness.
It has a sleeve pocket on the side with the MOLLE attachment straps, and the rest of the pouch is a simple bag. I'm not really sure what it was designed for, but I'm using it as an admin and tool pouch.Other Features:Except for the Hydration Carrier's main compartment, all pouches and compartments have drainage holes.
This problem was not a deal-breaker for me, as I knew about it before I bought the pack, wasn't planning on carrying more than 40 lbs in the main pack, and had ready-access to a shoe-repair shop that was glad to reinforce the main pack's shoulder harness for me once I noticed the stitches tearing away after the 2nd hiking trip.Despite the problem, I still recommend this pack to people who want a reliable external frame MOLLE pack system on the cheap.
This pack isn't like the fragile MOLLE and MOLLE II packs, and it's far more comfortable and of better quality than the ILBE pack system. The brown color is also civilian-friendly, and doesn't scream "Military or Prepper" like camo patterns do.I'll go over the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. If you're reading this and are interested in the pack, you definitely need to be aware of the defects in *some* of the packs made by Eagle Industries.
Answer: yes
