Much debate at the time which was better external or internal frame. Most today with improved metals are internal frames which are easier on your back. The externals were designed better back then with more separations for your clothes, food, fuel, and equipment. A day pack is less important in design than one where you're truly packing in. Stopped in to say thanks for placing the advert, it's appreciated. Hope you'll swing by for a visit, the welcome mats always out.
