"My Camp Trails Mckinley pack sports the Freighter Frame. This wasn't my first pack and not my last but for some reason I keep going back to it. It's not too big or too small, it's comfortable to carry.

I have considered getting a new main usage pack but if it ain't broke don't fix it."

"The McKinley was my first pack, and I loved it. I love externals for all the ways you can hang stuff off the rack, but hate the way rhodadendrons snake their way into the frame and yank at you while you hike. I have carried quite a load (75lbs) while on the AT, and it performed wonderfully."

"The McKinley was my second pack. I use it primarily for Scouting and found it adequate. For the money it had an excellent suspension system as well as a comfortable waist belt. Some of the downsides were its creaky nature, it was hard to unzip when fully loaded, its straps intended for sleeping bags is pitifully small, and its poor water protection."

"All in all, I'm pleased. I just retired my old Camp Trails Horizon after 25 years of faithful service, and replaced it with the McKinley. The pros and cons:

Pros:

Very comfortable - hipbelt is large and well padded, shoulder straps are curved and have sternum strap."

"For beginning hikers, who are not sure if there going to like hiking, this is the way to go. This back is fairly comfortable, and is actually more comfortable under more weight. I haven't had any problems with pins popping out or things that are common with external frames."
