I am an intermediate hiker. I plan on hiking the appalachian trail upon my return from Operation Iraqi Freedom and was wondering if this pack would be the one for me. It seems like the type of ruck I am used to, seeing as I have never used an internal frame. My load will more than likely be around 50 lbs, just wondering if it is more comfortable with such a load or if I would be better off using an internal frame pack. Thanks.

I picked one of these up recently as a second pack, my other is an internal. The thing about internals is your back cooks (at least the ones I've wore). If you like having breathing room, 50# in this thing is way more comfortable than any internal. Seems to be build alright, time will tell. I have used this pack for about a year now and it has been great! No back sweat, and unbeatable for carrying heavy loads. You will not be dissapointed!
