Frost River Summit pack / rucksack?

[collecter]

I'm always looking for that "just right" pack and spotted the Frost River Summit rucksack in a photo on the web and I'm liking the looks of it. I found only 1 video review and not much else written about it.

Does anyone have this pack, what do you think of it? it's this one here, http://www.frostriver.com/day_packs/summitpack.html

Thanks,

I only have experience with the summit expedition which is basically a summit with pockets. It's a great pack that carried well. But with no frame you have to be careful how you pack it and how much weight you put in it. The Frost River traditional waxed canvas packs are beautiful and well made but there is a trade off for modern conveniences like a hydration bladder spot or integrated sternum strap or frame stays.

I've carried the Knapsack for a couple of years and really like it for light load day hikes. It's very well made and has a great traditional look. Frost River makes good stuff.

I've never tried the Frost River Summit pack but I have used many in this style. It's definately in how you pack your stuff in these type packs which I found carries loads better when low and close to the back. My favorite pack is almost exactly like the Summit except for materials.
