Nice to see someone still doing OD.
Want this pack, but don’t have the kevlar to put in. Really like the design. If I wasn’t going to buy this guy, I’d go with the 215 pack because you can remove the beavertail (this looks like a stow potentially).
I got an armorbak 3 litre pouch to put in this guy
It’s a yote. I don’t know why so many people are eager to copy this design. I found that the carrying capacity was woefully small for anything you actually need to carry. A hydration bladder alone almost fills it up. I couldn’t imagine this pack being useful in a civilian situation for anything more than a light jacket and some snacks.
If you put a helmet in the pouch, it just slouches and falls to the small of your back, regardless of how tight the straps are. I would rather have an accessory that allows me to carry my kevlar on a normal backpack with MOLLE than something like this, which is barely larger than an eagle MAP or camelbak MULE.
I’ve never really used mine to put my helmet in, but I have used it many times to remove layers and store them in the beaver tail. It works great when packing necessary items in te main compartment and leaving the beaver tail empty. Then stuff your jacket/pants/etc. in when you remove them.
That being said, this design keeps getting copied. Eagle had it for YEARS, and the packs dried up for some reason. Then came Platatac, Blackhawk (which owns Eagle now, so it kind of makes sense), some other gear makers with similar designs, and now this. IMO, none of them are as good as the original in terms of durability and quality.
The original Eagle Yote was designed as a hydration carrier/pack that people repurposed into an assault pack through some creative approaches, but it’s still just a hydration carrier.
There are plenty of people who have a need for a pack this size, and when they’re requirements expand beyond this, the go to a dedicated assault pack or a 3-day patrol bag.
And as for the whole copying of the design angle you mention, stop for a second and think about why the Eagle Yote has become unobtanium. It’s th simple law of supply and demand.
The MAP and MULE are the two packs I used most before getting my Yote. It’s not an assault pack that you live out of for 48-72 hours. It’s a place to stow water, a layer, NVGs, and a Clif Bar. I’ve rarely carried a helmet in the beaver tail area, but I’ve used it plenty for a puffy jacket and/or specialty kit. There have been times when I wished it would fit a 117G and accessories, but it’s not a commo pack.
Nine and half years of team time and I never once saw a helmet thrown in one of these, aside from advertising or impersonations, that said, I’ve seen a lot of shells, layers etc thrown in the outside. Then again, I am only one man, and am by no means omniscient. The design exists from multiple companies, and is very popular with real Operators as well as Impressionists/ Milsim crowd, so the demand exists. It’s good to see that more companies are filling it.

Thank you, Dana Gleason.
The Eagle Yote design came from the request of one specific group of guys. It’s intended purpose was to carry a helmet with nods.
I remember hearing that when it first came out, and I’ve only ever done it once, maybe twice.
Great place for a ghillie top.
AWS Inc. has a nice one too.
