>>2506736Was trying to debate the other day whether or not I should pick up a plastic frame for my molle bag or continue to mount it on my aluminum alice. I also have an ILBE with the plastic inner frame. I read a whole lot about how the internal frame squeaks and has a tendency to snap in cold weather as opposed to the external steel/aluminum frames. The only thing that the ILBE frame has up over my ALICE is that it holds the bag closer to my back, which is nice.
what makes the internal frames better than external?
