After Backpacking for over 40 years...Ive come back to the external frame backpack...The Jansport external frame is still is one of the lightest most balanced frame/packs I've used and I have used most of the different designs..The Carson is an updated pack like one(a Jansport) I used in the 80's..In fact I still have it...frame has not changed much but the pack sure has...The pack and frame is a good 2 to 3 pounds lighter than the Jansport Internal frame I have and hauling about 45lbs, I found it to be quite roomy and rugged on a barely used trail in the North Georgia Mountains. The pack retains the cool look of the internal as well as being a front and top loader,you just won't believe how it feels on your back..Check it out!!!!!!
