ITT faggots pretending that a hard-frame hip rider isn't 10x better than this overpriced nonsense.
You know what you don't see on men wearing $300 backpacks? Scars or balls.
I suppose that's not entirely fair. If I'm hauling <25 lbs I'll roll with my internal. But when I see dipshits sacking 50lbs it's like watching a child play soldier.
Internal frames are for light loads, period. The noobfag response is "but muh top loading sack". Yes, snowflake you can put that on a hip-riding frame. " But muh mobility". You ain't Bear Grylls, bitch - Bear Grylls ain't even Bear Grylls. Any frame, internal or external, can be cinched tight for jumps.
I triple-dog promise you that if your brains weren't hardwired to associate price and fashion with quality, you'd ditch that ripoff garbage for a $80 pack from Wal-Mart.
Enjoy your back pain, retards.
I have a couple canvas packs, two internals, couple sacks, a couple frames, and I grew up poor as fuck itw where I learned to evaluate gear on merit.
This heavy internal bullshit is like the cadre of morons who still argue that Festool makes amazing tools, despite several evaluations and product dissections showing that a $80 Skil saw is a higher quality tool than a $600 Festool.
Recalibrate your brains, fuckers. Stop thinking "why doesn't this feel as good as the pack that costs 60% less and looks goofy". Focus on the fact that it doesn't.
Remember - they don't have blind wine tastings anymore because when they did, almost invariably, the "connoisseurs" ended up picking a $30 bottle as the best.
You're hardwired like that too. That bullshit is NOT comfortable. Not even half as comfy as an ugly external with a thick AF hip strap. The $300 you spent is making you think that. Fight the brainwash.
