Benefits of Internal Frame Backpacks

Video Transcript

"I would like to talk a little bit now about internal frame packs. These packs a little bit more popular now a days and the reason is there more stable. With this pack the frame is actually on the inside so you can?t really see it but when its on your back you will find that it hugs a real close and it is very stable. Stabilizer straps up here and there is less sway unlike the kind of sway that you get with a external frame pack. Thing about these things really need to go on the inside you start strapping things on the outside of the pack. Kind of defeats the purpose pulls the center of gravity away from your body and becomes a little less stable. So think about what you need to put into a pack when you get it don't want to get a backpack to big cause your going to want to fill it some times. You know you get a huge behemoth pack you fill it and you get a really heavy pack. But you need to make sure that everything goes inside. You kind of look like a peddler with stuff hanging off and swaying if it doesn't all fit in your pack. If you have any questions give your local outfitter a holler."
