Cool, never seen one with a fold down bit, but then I've only had a couple of the external framed packs. Seem to be much better than the new ones though, as like you say, you can chuck the actual pack away and put a different one on the frame.

yeah, first one I've ever seen with a folding down bit, one of the reasons why I got it, and at £4 it was a snip!

Aye, can't complain at that price!

I've still got one of those external framed packs, was up for sale but it's got a split in the frame, at the bottom. Feels strong though, I can't manage to bend it at all. Might give that a revamp in the future.
