Frameless vs. Framed Backpacks: Which is Right for You?

Choosing between a frameless and a framed backpack depends on your hiking style, load capacity, and comfort preferences. Below, we outline the advantages and disadvantages of each to help you decide which type of pack suits your needs.

Frameless Tramping Packs

Frameless backpacks are lightweight and flexible, making them ideal for ultralight hikers and short trips. They lack an internal or external frame, which reduces weight but also means less support.

• Extremely lightweight, reducing strain on long-distance hikes.
• More flexible and compressible for easy storage.
• Better for minimalist hikers carrying lower-weight loads.

• Less support for heavy loads, leading to potential discomfort.
• Poor weight distribution, increasing strain on the shoulders.
• Can collapse inwards, making packing and access harder.

Framed Tramping Packs

Framed backpacks come with an internal or external frame to provide structure and weight distribution, making them better suited for carrying heavier loads over longer distances.

• Offers better weight distribution, reducing strain on the back and shoulders.
• Provides structure, keeping the pack upright and organized.
• More comfortable for multi-day hikes with heavier loads.

• Heavier than frameless tramping packs due to the added frame.
• Less flexible and bulkier, which can be restrictive in tight spaces.
• Typically more expensive due to added materials and support.

Which Backpack Should You Choose?

If you prioritize weight savings and carry light gear, a frameless tramping packs may be the best option. However, if you need to carry heavier loads and want more support, a framed backpack will provide better comfort and stability for long-distance hiking.
