Koss1959 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Main advantages of using one? Disadvantages? Are they universal to all rucksacks? Any recommendations for which one I should get if I decide I need one?

RyanNREMTP Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 For what purpose? Hiking? I've had both external and internal. The internal held more but pretty much put it all in one place. The external I loved because the model I had had a fold down ledge for a sleeping bag. I think the current fad is more leaning to the internal frame backpacks. I haven't looked at new models in several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 If you're hauling a load (and not just foul weather wear), frames (internal or external) are good.
