Backpacking – External or Internal Frame Backpacks – Which Is Best?

An essential piece of trekking gear, the backpack will keep all of your gear and supplies safe. There is a choice of both external and Internal Backpack and choosing the right backpack you will make your trekking trip more enjoyable.

There are major differences in design between external and internal backpacks and as the name suggests, basically, external backpacks have their frames on the outside and internal have their frames on the inside of the pack. Each offers it own pros and cons. There is a difference in weight and usually the external packs are heavier and this can affect your comfort when carrying the backpack. The backpack you eventually choose should be both comfortable and be able to Carry All of the gear needed for your trip.

With an external backpack, the actual pack is hung on the outside of the frame. These types of pack are usually quite large and will extend above your head when they are on you. They will often have lots of handy pockets that allow for space between the back of the pack and your back and offer offers excellent ventilation. This pack is perfect for carrying heavy loads as it is so sturdy but really should be used on-trail only. The reason is that once worn, the person will become top heavy so the chance of falling over is increased.

An internal frame backpack, as its name suggests, has its frame on the inside. The main benefit of this pack is its fits so well to the person so making them easier to wear than an external pack. The sense of balance is much better too making these packs ideal for both on-trail and off-trail. The downside is that it is much smaller in capacity than an external backpack so you wont be able to carry quite as much.

To choose which is best for you, you will need to consider the average load that you will take with you when trekking. Decide if you need lots of pockets or compartments to keep things in. Finally, think about what kind of terrain you will be going on and whether it would be safe to use an external pack.

So, external backpacks are ideal for smooth terrain and heavier loads whereas internal backpacks are great for any terrain, provided you don’t want to carry too much.

What is the best, affordable, backpack for a two month trip in Europe?

I am looking for an internal frame backpack but I can’t spend a TON of money. I will be traveling throughout Europe for about two months and I am not the lightest packer…but I’m going to try to be! Is it important for me to get a women’s backpack? Thanks for the help!
