I'm thinking about putting a backpack on my XMas wishlist this year and am wondering which one(s) to consider.
I like the idea of an external frame that can also be used by itself, like a Medium ALICE pack, but I didn't like the weight and bulk of the ALICE pack when I had one.
I would prefer to get away from zippers if possible, or get a pack with good quality zippers if it has any.
This pack would be used for a possible BOB, hiking/camping and be expected to handle heavy use!
Thanks for any/all recommendations!
