Johnny, welcome back from the Stan, for now and stay frosty on your return trip.

I have used the Phantom quite a bit on deployments. Its is basically the same as the Half Track but with a scabbard. I will say that while the Phantom was a great pack I did not like how there were no straps to adjust size and tightness of the main compartment of the pack. When it was full and heavy it wasnt bad but when it wasnt completely full it lacked stability and moved around a lot. just think of having a ruck one size and not being able to sinch it down.

It looks like they have addressed this issue on the Fac Track by adding a strap around the middle. But it still lacks vertical adjustment.

Just something to think about, hope it helps

Johnny,
Thanks for serving and good to hear your home safe for now.

Just an FYI, if you buy direct from eberlestock, they offer military discount.
Hope it helps.

I like the FAC track better because you can attach molle pouches as needed to the sides. Also, get on promotive.com to get a fat discount and additional color options on eberlestock packs.
