My oldest boy wants a backpack for Christmas. I'm a leetle on the cornfused side on how to buy one. (I can't backpack---don't know a thing about it)
I'm assuming a pack that has two numbers (for example a 20+5 and 45+10 pack) would be telling something about the size of two compartments or something? He'll just be using it for scouts for the next few years, but I don't want to buy something that's totally a pile for him. He's about 5'2" and maybe 80 lbs or so? I'd assume in the next few years he'll be at least 6'0" and 140 or so? Anything I can do to get one that he can grow with?
Internal frame or external frame? I'm thinking an external would work fine, but what do I know? I'd assume internal would be kewl if you were crawling through brush and whatnot, though.
