[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2571306, member: 113623"] Eberlestock takes cues from the military, you have heavy packs with uncreative materials and uninspired designs that they just shove more padding into to try to make comfortable. Looks at packs from companies that takes cues from the backpacking/hiking manufacturers with lighter weight materials, innovative suspension, carbon fiber frames, etc. You might not think a few pounds matter, but your body will benefit from less weight and you will feel it when things start to add up. I run a Kuiu and have one frame with different bags that I can throw on it depending on whether I am going out for one day or ten. If you want a one for all solution, pack frames with modular/swappable bags are the way to go. Lots of people say good things about Exo Mountain Gear and Kifaru, but there are plenty of other good companies out there. Do a search on the forum here as it has been discussed frequently. [/QUOTE]
