Eureka! Black Widow
Eureka! is no longer in business, and the Black Widow has been discontinued. If you're looking for something new, check out the best expedition packs for 2026.
Eureka has finally made a pack worthy to review. On a recent trip to big basin redwoods, this pack handled extremely well. We did a simple 4 mile overnight trip that turned into an adventure. The park itself is closed due to multiple storms and serious trail damage. I was climbing through mudslides, ducking under and hopping over trees every 50 feet. The compression system works well and i felt comfortable the entire trip.
The black widow is new for '98 and I love it. I also bought the Atlas but I have yet to try it out.

I packed the Widow II for years. Lost by the Atl airport !!!! I can't seem to find a Black Widow anything anymore. Anyone got one for sale???
Absolute best pack ever!! With a little extra reinforcements on the umpteen straps, amazingly comfortable after a thirty miler to get it all situated. Only pack I ever seen with upper lumbar that worked. And baffles that work with.
Price Paid: Long enough to forget
