By Ranked #976 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in) August 10, 2010

If I had to check this bag on an international flight, anyone know if the frame will hold up? Im worried about the bag getting beat up and luggage getting stacked on top. I know their is that single aluminum base down the middle of the bag. Im worried if this gets bent the bag is useless.. Any thoughts would be great!!

The frame won't bend in transit. I'd look into getting a pack cover of some sort to keep the straps from getting hung up in conveyor belts and protect it from getting dragged around. It can be as simple as a giant surplus storage bag with a drawstring. This will also make your pack look a little less appealing to someone with sticky fingers. Hope this helps.
