Shane, what is the benefit of the frame - just for carrying a lot of weight? I'm not worried about the cost so much - just want to buy the right one the first time.

The frame helps to stabilize the load, making ski carry easier, and it also distributes the load you are carrying. Makes everything just a little easier to carry, but is not totally necessary. My loads are usually around 20 pounds, maybe a little less depending on conditions, and I don't really notice the frame. It bends around though, so it fits my back really nice.
