>>1203862I think this is a personal thing, some people seem comfy with framless packs and heavy loads, others not. The Prophet has wider, chunkier straps that be better for you. My other pack is the ULA CDT which is killer. Have had the up to 25lb and been ok. But then I am comfy with my Burn up to 20lb. I don't really like the hype around Palante packs. Their bag looks neat and all, but the """cult""" effect and it's fanboys leave a sour taste in my mouth. It's MLD or ULA for me.
