Internal Frame Backpacks
On long hikes, a poorly designed backpack can become a real burden. Carrying all the gear you need, can be easier if you choose the right pack though. Internal frame backpacks help lighten the load and help your carry your gear more efficiently.
Internal frame backpacks are designed to keep the framework contained within the interior of the pack, so they these components don't pinch, chafe, or poke you. At the same time the framework inside the pack provides support and structure. By utilizing a simpler construction, the framework is kept unobtrusive and allows plenty of space to fit your gear. Many internal frame packs are built with plastic rather than metal framework. This plastic is a durable variety which provides all the strength you need without the weight. Other internal frame packs use lightweight aluminum or alloys.
The interiors of these packs also contain reinforcement strips of durable fabric for extra support and strength. This keeps the solid structure intact while also allowing a more flexible space to store you gear in. The outsides of these packs are usually equipped with rings and clips you can use to attach additional gear which doesn't fit inside. A well-made internal frame pack should prevent gear from shifting on the inside and weight distribution should remain constant as you hike or cycle.
Internal frame packs are the perfect option for long hikes. They are especially helpful in brushy terrain where external framework could get snagged on branches and obstacles. For a more lightweight and durable pack choose an internal frame model.
