I love this pack. I chose an external frame pack because I tend to overheat and it helps to have the pack riding away from your back. I have carried loads up to 60 pounds in this pack without any difficulty. With the abuse I have put this thing through, I am very impressed. I can see the frame flex under the massive loads, never breaking. It is well constructed and holds a ton, not to mention the fact that you can still attach quite a bit to the frame. The wide and sturdy hip belt places the entire load squarely on your hips, making even a heavy load very comfortable.
The length of the frame is adjustible to accommodate a wide range of torso lengths. The hip strap is long enough for a big guy like me (6 ft. 1 in. and 290 lb.) This pack also includes sternum straps and load-stabilizer straps.
I highly recommend this pack for any budget-minded backpacker who wants an external frame. The only possible improvement would be to make the top compartment detachable so it could be carried separately. Other than that, it had everything I wanted.
