Video for it got posted. Looks like a solid pack if you're not carrying in bibs and a heavy jacket.
You are correct. It just means it meets certain rules/regulations to be sold to US government entities. Not sure what entities would want this pack other than maybe some game warden type jobs. Anyways, it means X amount of the materials and manufacturing are from and happen in the US. So for example, Sitka and FL are not Berry compliant due to where they are made. Does this help sir?Can someone explain what Berry Compliant is? I’m assuming some kind of military specification but what does it actually mean to hunters and hunting. Believer Kifaru and many othe high end pack systems are all”Berry Compiant.”

That’s not necessarily true either. There are exceptions to the Berry amendment. If something is not available in the US or if it’s purchased from Allies and meets the minimum thresholds for amount of material that is domestically sourced it can also be Berry compliant. The Act was essentially created to make sure there are domestic companies that can supply fabrics, food and materials to the D.O.D during times of war.X = 100%
End items, components and materials must be wholly grown, reprocessed, reused or produced in the US.
Something they said about a compression kit. Extra for compression straps maybe? Doesn’t look like it will take a hip belt, but it does have a small frame sheet.
Sure enough.Looks like the tethrd website crashed

Correct it is a PIA. I was just stating not everything Berry compliant is made here.Roger that. Sounds like it would be a pain to seek a waiver for a pack not that the gov/mil has much use for a FAS pack.
Berry Amendment Exception
Learn about the exceptions to the Berry Amendment in government procurement.www.trade.gov
The one video I seen they used one or both of the compression straps as a hip belt.I was holding out to consider this pack. But the absence of a hip belt is a deal breaker for me. Really don't understand why they didn't add that
Minus not having the hip belt, I think this may be the perfect pack ever made. Very well designed… I think you could add a hip belt if you needed one. I think they didn’t add one because it’s not really designed to haul a lot of weight. It sounds like this is one product that they really took their time to get it “right” before selling it. They have several YouTube videos on it.
It’s made in the USA so that definitely runs the cost up probably $100 over if it were made in China.
I’ve got one on order…. I’ll sell Kuiu and a Sitka pack that I don’t use to fund it.
