i went to dicks and got this sweet 65l field and stream internal frame and the aluminum stays are arched over your mid back so it puts the wait on your hips and upper body feels better than any internal and external ive ever tried. The padding is also huge w/ bladder compatibility and build in rain cover. 99 bucks!!!
i am on a budget and searching for a new pack preferably internal frame i'll only need one for a week if u could give me any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated
such a critic madder. but anyways, I got an internal frame pack from Big5 made by HiTech & it was on sale for $65, it has excellent padded lumbar support & plenty of room for bear canisters, sleeping bag & fleece clothing etc, lots of room, really cheap & comfy, only thing abt it was that the adjustment straps weren't exactly even on both sides, so it took more careful adjusting, but great strong goretex pack. I always line it with a garbage bag for extra waterproof! happy trails!
the 'need' for a frame is that it transfers the weight off your shoulders and onto your hips so that you dont f*ck up your back carrying 50lbs
without a frame you're carrying all the weight on your shoulders which in the long run will result in spinal injury, not to mention pain and discomfort
the only benefit i can really see with externals is that you can take the bag off and use the frame to pack elk out.

internal frames suck compared to external
klasco1991 2 years ago 4
you didnt mention that an external keeps the pack away from your back causing you to sweat less and have much better outside pockets for organization
internal frames are vastly overrated imo

The internal packs are getting better. Newer packs have vent tunnels in the back area, sweating isnt an issue like it was before

That one wasn't very useful.
Anyway I remover the internal frame in my backpack. Never saw a need for it.
