Bountyhunter,

Thanks for the tip.

I don't like external frames on packs because I'm mostly doing mountain stuff with them... I need the pack to be very close to my center of gravity when climbing or hiking in dangerous places (near cliffs, on slippery terrain, etc.). Besides most external frame packs are way too big for me. I'm a part of the infamous ultra-light backpacking sect <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Cheers, and thanks again for the ventilation tip. I'll try it out !
