Frame Type
The back panel is perhaps the most important part of a back pack because it is the part which comes into contact with your back so, for sporting usage, heavy loads and long periods of use, needs to be comforatble.

Integrated Frame6
Modern hi tech packs come with integrated frames (as well as foam padding) to ensure the pack sits comforatbly on your back and carries the load in a stable, well balanced manner. The bigger the pack, the heavier the load, the more time it is on your back and the more extrem your sporting activity, the more important a good frame becomes.
Padding Only3
Most packs tend to have a comfortable layer of foam padding on the back panel, to prevent pack contents digging into your back and to insulate your pack contents from the heat of your back.
No Frame, No Padding-
Fine for small packs, packs not used for action sports, packs not on your back for long periods of time or for packs not used for bulky loads.
