Frame Hiking Backpack
Frame Hiking Backpack
What are some advantages of an external versus Internal Frame back (or the other way around)?
My wife and I have recently decided to take up hiking after going to amicalola falls state park in North Georgia. We went to the “hike Inn” near the park, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The only backpacking experience I’ve had was while I was in the military, and that was limited, but I had an issue LC-1 A.L.I.C.E. pack, with an External Frame, and I don’t think it fit me well, althgouh the basic design of the external frame has been around for a very long time, and has been tried in nearly every outdoor condition, I am thinking that that particular one just didn’t fit me. Any thoughts? Preffereably those that have used both, although all answers are appreciated.
I prefer an external Frame Pack but the internal frame is much more popular.
External vs. Internal Fame Packs
EXTERNAL FRAME PACK:
For people who use packs principally for backpacking on established trails.
Proper loading is accomplished more easily.
More weight can be carried more comfortably while allowing the wearer to walk more erect.
External frames allow for more ventilation, thereby, allowing you to remain cooler and more comfortable.
Directs the load evenly around the hips, where it can then transfer down to the legs.
For people who carry loads while doing activities that require independent arm movement.
For anyone who plans the bulk of their trips climbing, skiing, or hiking across rough trails.
Internal frames have a lower center of gravity thereby allowing you to do these activities that require delicate, balanced movement.
