I saw the BFM and ML side by side, looked them over, and took the BFM, swapping over to it from the Eagle AIII and a custom made Eagle pack.

I love the capacity, external pockets, features, and internal layout of the BFM.

The only thing I would change would be to use a better set of shoulder straps. The quality of work does not appear to be as good as the Eagle either, but nothing has failed in the four months I have been using it, and I have carried as much as 65 pounds in it.

As I understand it from Camelback reps, there is no current plan to make it in Coyote color. Of course, that could mean absolutely nothing.
