What would be the killer external frame pack of your dreams? Mine would
include:
A titanium frame, a little narrower than a standard external frame for
improved arm swing, and possibly made out of slightly smaller-diameter
tubing than is normally used in order to save weight.
A drum-tight, breathable, and easily adjustible back band. Whatever
happened to those old turnbuckle-style back bands?
1.4 (?) oz. waterproof ripstop nylon pack bag. Using mesh fabric for at
least some of the side/back pockets. The seams would be taped.
Add a CampTrails super-padded hipbelt.
Also, the pack would be designed so I do not hit my head on the top of the
pack frame.
The pack would include a removable but very large shoulder strap pocket.
Big enough to hold my VCR.
I wonder if CampTrails would make one for me?
