The big three in backpacking is your shelter, sleep system, and your backpack. When you are trying to shed weight cutting weight on these three items is KEY! Well, it also often expensive. I have been using this 3F UL ultralight backpack for around a year now, and many people have asked for a review. Well, here it is!

I have this same pack. Absolutely a great buy. This is my mid range pack. I have a heavier and a lighter one. I do use mine without the pad (frame). I fold my inflatable sleep pad flat and lay it inside ageist my back. Really comfortable. Enjoy ⛺️
Great review. Thank you. I have the same pack and I have modified several things on it to save weight. The way I see it for 55.99 USD to my door, if I need to trim a few things or mod anything it's no big deal and it's actually fun when you aren't worried about wrecking a custom 350.00-550.00 USD bag. Heck I even bought a second one to really tear down and mess with. I had great customer service from 3F UL gear and now own several other decently made budget conscious products they make. Thanks again for the super vid. PS. your hip melt has a tear in it at 10:19 in the vid. Easy fix.
3f UL rocks they make excellent gear for the money. I bought a tipi tent from aliexpress and was soo pleased I immediately purchased a second for a backup cant beat them.
Bought 4 of them...slow boat...cant wait. Thanks for the review
I saw a tear on waist belt? Is it the weakest point in this back pack? The price is tempting that i will consider buying it.
Great video Ernie I love mine as well it’s my favorite backpacking purchase so far.
At the 10:17 minute mark, what's up with the hip belt on the left side where it attaches to the pack? It looks like the hip belt is coming apart from the pack.
yeah, but you just gotta sew it back together. generic chinese backpacks will start failing in some part after some time, there is no way around it. usually the stitching. but you just got to sew it back yourself and it works again
I'm sold , love the color.
I have the 3f 2man trecking pole tent . Great tent . So I know this pack will be great .
I know they are Chinese knock offs of Z-packs . I cant afford $600 tents and packs .
That roll top I have been looking at in other packs for awhile . I am getting tired of top brains .
Thanks Ernie! The annual AliExpress November 11th sale is a good time to get the best deals. I got my pack last year on 11/11 for $51.48 shipped (store = ZDF Outdoor Store). I had to learn how to apply new user coupons and store-specific coupons to the order, to get it that cheap.
Great review. Is the back pad you're using the 20inch zpad? Or, what's the size pad that pack accommodates for the frame (from top to bottom)?
I'm sold will get one soon. good review thanks. thumbs up!
XPAC is a fantastic material unless you get a bad batch that starts to delaminate.
I'm betting the straps on that bag are Nylike. My Klymit pack uses Nylike. Not too concerned for myself as I only do a few backpacking trips a year. The verdict is still out on that stuff though.
Is one of the hip belts ripping off? Is it after some accident or was it a natural wear and tear?
I'm new to all this but it seems odd that you have to butcher your sleeping pad to make a frame for the pack?
Do you have a idea what size I should get in the 3ful I wear a 36 inch waist
Fantastic review looks like a great pack. At this cost you can't really go too wrong.
Thank you very much....from S.Korea
I appreciate your good review.
That would help me choose my backpack.
Thanks very much for this. I am waiting for mine, I found one on eBay for 51 bucks brand new. I have been waiting to see if that giant folded thematest is what I needed and now I know I can cut it down. Thank you thank you for this video.
If you use the full capacity to the top, is there a closure so you don't have to roll it down?
What is the torso range?
Also, what is the max waste belt size?
You said you hike in caney creek.
We have a caney creek in Arkansas, is that where you went?
I just purchased this in orange but I was wondering if there is anything undesirable about that specific color? Will it attract bears or anything crazy like that?
Hi Ernie.I've just ordered mine today.Could have done with it last week hiking 10days here in the UK.Liked the video hope to watch more of yours.
Can I ask I've been watching a lot of hike in the USA. Where would I be able to buy one of the chest bags I see so often on the videos I watch.Especially the ones with clip on clip off across the shoulder straps.
Hope you can help.
Billy.
Billy Mills maybe this one from zpacks? zpacks.com/products/multi-pack
Great video Ernie, I have the exact same bag and I've ordered the new xpac one. Might do a review when I get it
Would love to hear about the XPAC, thanks for watching!
I hope the one i have ordered doesnt have one of its pockets upside down! Did you tell them?
I am getting into dayhikes....I am wondering what equippment you would recommend me taking on day hilkes..This list can include anything at all> Thanks
Comfortable backpack, sit pad, stove kit to cook, fire kit, first aid kit, knife, food/coffee, small hygiene kit (mainly TP), water treatment/container, compass/GPS/smartphone, weather appropriate clothing, comfortable shoes. I’m sure I’m forgetting something :)
4:20 One of the abdominal bands that are tied at the waist is tearing. I don't do anything with a backpack that falls apart!
you're overreacting, this backpack is very usable still. not for climbing the freaking everest where your life depends on it obviously
Looks like the hip belt is damaged at 10:23. What happened with it?
Good catch... Not a good look together with the upside down pocket lol! Pass.
4:26 too.
agreed, why didn't he mention that? he must know.
wow what, that is so weird, why no comments on that.
@@Therealbrowk He says in another comment that there is no rip and he's happy with the durability. The left hip belt is almost completely detached. imgur.com/a/ftFjksz
Thanks for the video on the backpack. Do you have a video of the tent you used in this video showing how big the side pockets are?
Very indepth nice!!!
The pack “stiffener” that you use, is it a partial length like the seat or is it the full length as in a sleeping pad?
It is the Thermarest Z-Lite Sleeping pad, but I just use around a third of it. You can use the whole thing if you want, I just cut it down to shed weight. The Z-Seat is too small. Thanks for watching!
Great video as usual. I always confused alibaba with aliexpress. Is it comfy?
I find it very comfortable, thanks for watching!
Nice review. One would carry bear canister inside. Carry bigger, bulkier stuff in the “16” area.
How wide is the pad you put on the back. I know that you cut it down shorter but what is the width of the one you have? Is it the standard width of that pad?
You can get the thermarest sleeping pad and cut it down to what you want. Basically every two sections makes up one layer, and I have basically 4 sections total which makes up two layers of two sections each. You can use up to the whole pad if you want. Thanks for watching!
PaleoHikerMD yeah man your review takes all the teeny tiny reviews and put some together in one big comprehensive review. Thank you. the bag itself is pretty simple which I like. I’m a little itchy about using some thing made in China, but I don’t dwell on it too much. Have you ever thought about reviewing one of the river country tents? River country products is an American co. that puts out some pretty interesting and cheap tents. I have the one man and the 2.2. If you check them out go to their website and not to the Amazon.Have use the one man and it is awesome. Have yet to take the 2.2 out only drawback I see for the 2,2 is that it is ugly and that it has no vestibule. Anyway thanks again keep up the good work if you’re ever in South Carolina I’ll take you to see some places that look just exactly like where you live 😁
What are the dimensions on the pad once you cut it down?
Would a Zseat suffice for the frame? I sleep on an inflatable pad but always carry a zseat for camp chilling and lunch breaks
Mine works for lumbar support, it only comes halfway up the pack. I told the two outer sections in and slide it into the pouch.
With my reflectix pouch cozy behind my food bag, inside the pack it offers a lot of support. My first time with a frameless bag, and I love the weight savings over my osprey pack.
Are these packs for tall people only im 5.6 would this be suitable for my height?
I believe at your height it will work fine. My son has used it and he is only 10 years old and shorter than you obviously. It was a bit big for him, but with the adjustments available on the pack I believe it will work. This is of coarse my opinion, hopefully someone close to your height with this pack can chime in!
Just ordered the pack had to go thru Amazon crappy ali didn't wanna work (none of my credit cards worked).
I see on their seller page they also sell ultralight tents. Do you have any experience with those? Wondering if these are good options as well.
If you look back a few videos on my channel you will see a review of the Lanshan 2018 model from 3F UL, thanks for watching!
I had heard as well that these packs are good only for tall people really need help im considering buying this pack
I'm 5'11 & it fits me well plus it has load lifters so that helps alot.
How about the torso size?
Great video! Can you post a link for the sleeping pad?
Added it to the video description, thanks for watching!
Looks like the left hip belt is ripping?
Looking at the video again it almost looks as if you avoid that side of the pack with edits......Fishy
@@MultiGunner65 He says in another comment that there is no rip and he's happy with the durability. The left hip belt is almost completely detached. imgur.com/a/ftFjksz
They sell much better ones now; downside of this pack is it’s one size, mostly fitted for taller/bigger people
Hey Mat. Can you put a link in here to one of the newer ones you're talking about?
@@danielflynnpdx and I just got the 60l Naturehike pack, and it’s pretty good
@@danielflynnpdx on AliExpress: 3F UL GEAR Qi Dian Pro Hiking Backpack ultralight Camping Pack Travel Backpacking Trekking Rucksacks 46+10L
Neither the amazon link nor the AliExpress link lead to the original 3F UL store. Probably this is the reason your backpack is not good quality because it’s not the original one 🤷🏻♀️
Looks like a well thought out pack, but don't you need to add the cost of the pad you cut up to get a true competitive price? As always a good and informative video. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting so I don't have to ; )
Well yes, you do. But that would not make as captivating a thumbnail :) Thanks for watching
I thin the channel “our world outdoors” has the new pack and reviewed it.
The reviewer nails it when he says you pick up the pack and it feels heavy and once its on the back you barely feel it.
Its a great pack, so comfortable that frankly even if it lasted 1 season I would be happy to spend a measly $50 every season for a new one.
Green ? Tan ? Brown? Coffee ? But red
Might not come in at all now.
For a frameless pack this is pretty expensive. Would suggest a bit heavier pack with frame and higher quality.
Definitely ripped near the hip straps and this review doesn't mention it, and the reviewer goes silent about it when shown evidence of the tearing in his video. Not a trustworthy or a reliable review.
Twice the price from Amazon. Hmm.
There are several different models and are VERY difficult to tell apart. I was able to find this pack along with 3 (I think) others. Prices range from $60-170
Should have mine delivered in 2 weeks, got it from shopee.com.ph
Think you will like it!
@@PaleoHikerMD oh yeah!
Just got mine today and I am so glad that I made this purchase. Difference from yours is that it has a mesh compartment on the lower portion of the back and 2 other straps for holding the sleeping pad to work as a frame. Also, there's 2 additional side compression straps plus a big mesh pocket inside the main compartment. Both pockets on the hip belt are also upright (sorry about yours). Overall, great buy! THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS REVIEW.
Can I just request that you check out the 3F UL Tarp (bit.ly/2JWmYGU) and see if you could review that for us viewers?
Big thanks from one hiker to another!
Dont use vibrant colors for effects. you look ridiculously and a review becomes faulty.
The tariffs that have been imposed on China will probably affect the price in the future.
I would rather purchase gear that is made in the USA, and yes, I realize that the price would be higher, but the USA had a near $500 Billion trade deficit with China.
We buy a lot of their stuff, and they don't buy a lot of ours.
They also steal our technology, and trade secrets.
I don't really care for the Zpacks backpack, and my top choices on my list are the Gossamer Gear Mariposa 60, the Gossamer Gear Silverback 55, and the Gossamer Gear Gorilla 40.
I also like the ULA Ohm 2.0, the ULA Circuit, or the ULA Catalyst.
Super lightweight, super durable, made in the USA.
Msilverhammer you do realize that the fabric the USA pack makers use comes from overseas.
@@arcana1973 I am not sure of "ALL" of the origins of the fabrics, but would hope that some are manufactured in the USA.
Many fabrics, and textiles (nylon) were created in the USA by companies like DuPont.
At least there are some manufacturers that assemble the packs in the USA, even though the fabric may be sourced elsewhere.
Yeah cheap strong bla bla bla but this stuf is no elite for my youtube channel
this backpack has features that various expensive brand name brands like arcteryx, north face etc, lack, hipbelt pockets, very good large water bottle pockets, mesh pocket plus bungee cord
