Introducing the latest
member of the Eberlestock J-type pack family. In
keeping with the lineage of the original "one pack to own" for any big
game hunting adventure, we're keeping the name... this is the new J34 Just One:
The latest model of
the Just One family shares the essential features of all of the others
in the line. It's extremely versatile. Starting at an
ultra-compact 2300 cubic inches, it expands to 4600 with its built-in
Cam Expansion™
system. Add a
Super Spike Duffel's 2900 cubic inches, and you get a 7500 cubic inch
load hauler. The photo below shows the full sequence:

Products like this exist
because the owner of the company uses them. Need something that'll
pack quarters? Read his story from a hunt a few years
back with a J104 model Just One:
The J34 is the latest refined version of our original Just One
design. Each year, we look for small details to improve upon, in a
continuous quest to make our products better. The J34 features a
new streamlined shape, vertically adjustable torso length, waterproof zippers,
a high-visibility interior (no more groping for a black
flashlight in a black compartment), deep "3D" ventilated padding,
scabbard drainage and cleanout access.
Otherwise,
as many of our customers have requested from us, the basic foundation of
this pack is the same good
thing we've been offering for several years. The J34 is still the same terrific all-around pack; it's
suspension is designed to move with your body, making it comfortable to
wear as a daypack, and the pack is supremely capable and comfortable
under a heavy load. Try one, and see why there's a growing
movement afoot in the hunting community that's saying that the Just One
is the best hunting pack ever built.
People are really impressed when they see how our Just One can grow into
a terrific meat pack. The logic is simple: the pack is made
to fit right behind your torso for active hunting. It's very
compact and doesn't protrude far from your body, so it doesn't get in
your way. Then, when you have game down, open the pack up and start hauling meat. Our tough,
soft-finish camo packs have an exclusive ventilated mesh-fronted
meat compartment, so your meat will be able to cool while you pack it.
*To achieve the full capacity of the Just One,
attach a Spike Camp Duffel externally. Spike Camp Duffels, available in two models and several colors, are sold separately.
With our Quickdraw Backscabbard™, you can reach
over your shoulder and quickdraw your firearm, arrows from a quiver, etc.
As with all of our packs, the Just One is hydration system compatible.
The
J34 weighs 6 lbs. 14 oz. It's very
comfortable as a daypack, and as shown by the photos at the top of the
page, is capable -- and still comfortable -- while hauling very heavy
loads. The volume is variable, from about 2300 cubic inches to a
little over 4600 cubic inches, then to about 7100 cubic inches when used with the
Spike Camp Duffel. Choose the Super Spike Duffel, and you can go
all the way to 7500 c.i.
Quiet!
...We're getting some terrific feedback about our products, and have a
growing number of "true believers" out there who are enthusiastically
telling all of their buddies about what great packs we've got. The
story typically goes, "I gave Jerry my Just One to try, and he liked it
so much that he wouldn't give it back for three days." One reason
they love it is because of its comfort. And of course, it's pretty
hard to beat the kinds of innovations that we've incorporated in our
designs. But a key feature that's difficult to describe but is
extremely important in a hunting pack is that it's quiet.
It rides your back like it's attached to you, and doesn't swing around,
which is one of the things that makes typical packs noisy. In
addition to that, it's configured in a way that minimizes parts rubbing
on one another. So, when you're walking through a still forest,
all you're going to hear is... silence. We think you'll
like what you don't hear.
Combine the Just One with our ButtBucket and Ripcord
Bowtether kit as shown here, and you've got a great bowhunter's pack! (Note: J104 model shown above. J34 works the same way).

For a slightly larger, firmer
pack, try the J107:
A note about the
compression straps and side loops on the Just One - type packs:
[Photos below show a J107, but straps on J34 are the
same].
The compression
straps on our packs are big and beefy for good reason. We've seen
grizzly skins and full body elk capes, and varied loads weighing as much
as 177 lbs. attached to the exterior our packs using only these straps.
So they serve good purpose. But their primary purpose, which is
sometimes overlooked, is to compress the contents of the pack.
This will
stabilize, compact, and quiet the load. Think of it like tying
your shoes; if you don't snug them up, the results won't be as
good as if you do.
Secondly, as the packs have
evolved, we've added small webbing loops to the main panel of the pack,
at the forward side of the scabbard layer, as shown in the photo at
left. These allow you to compress the scabbard layer if you choose
to do so. However, if your particular rig works better with the
scabbard layer un-compressed (for example, to allow your rifle to slide
in and out more easily), then just bypass the loops, and go directly
around the pack.
The straps are long enough to go around a full Super
Spike Duffel that's mounted to the outside of your pack. If you
find that you don't have enough length with the compression straps
routed through the webbing loops, then again you will want to bypass the
loops, and go directly around the pack, as shown at lower right.
The above two photos are a great
display of the way that a Just One can have two very different natures.
At left, you have a close-fitting, behind-the-torso hunting pack.
At right, an 8000 cubic inch freighter; the same type of pack, just
expanded and with
a Super Spike Duffel aboard.
