Internal or External Packs?

[Mark Z]

Internal or External packs for hunting. Which is best and why?

 

[Backpack Hunter]

My preference is internal. It can be fitted to you, carry anything you need to comfortably, is streamlined, very modular, and quieter.

 

[Jimbow65]

Internal, more comfortable, lower profile and quieter.

For packing out? External Frame.
For just hunting purposes I think an internal frame is best.

 

[Bullhunter]

Internal for sure.

what brands do you use? I have a pack that I use it is 22yrs old and this year zippers broke and one of the pockets tore good pack but it was noisy.Time to get a new pack not sure what to get.

Mystery Ranch Nice Frame is the best of both worlds.  Load hauling capability of an external frame with the comfort of an internal frame.
