I’m looking for a new all around pack for Elk season. What are your deciding factors for choosing between an external or Internal frame pack?

New to Rokslide, experienced with this. The primary benefit of external frames is the ability to separate the pack from the frame and run multiple bags with the same frame or strap meat or gear between the bag and frame. If you have no intention of doing either, you’re fine with an internal frame pack. Some guys prefer to put the meat inside their pack, not something I personally would choose to do.
It used to be that external frame were more modular as described above....but now the top internal frame packs are almost all that way.
The top pack choices; Exo, Kifaru, Stone Glacier, Mystery ranch....good fit is the key.

I would disagree with that comment as I just bought an EXO pack a couple months ago after coming off my last pack....a McHale custom. I tried a couple of the packs mentioned.....I'm 6'4" hard to fit- and that new EXO 4800 fits me great.EXO is nice until you compare it to a Kifaru or Stone Glacier. Pack fit is most important but EXO isn’t in the same class.
