Steel-Framed Backpacks: Hiking Backpack?
17 Answers
Afternoon,
Odd question, and I'm not sure that I've imagined this quite mundane item, but is there such thing as a metal-tubed/framed backpack - the frame seems to be on the part which aligns with the back of the wearer.
I assume this offers extra support? Is this correct? What are the other benefits?
I've also only seen them as quite large objects, can you get smaller ones?
Is there a technical name for this kind of backpack, or even just the framed part?
All the best,
Ed

I still have one of these but it's consigned to the attic. The modern padded ones are much more comfortable, I don't know if the frame type are still available.

Also the frame actually gives your back a more natural,ergonomic carrying position for your load, i.e you carry the weight on the shoulder & upper back muscles, which are designed to be the major load carrying areas of your body.
