I have a THE with frame as well. Tried it once with a load with the frame, and once without.
Took me 15 minutes of wear each time, and a few weeks of pack research to convince me that a Kifaru was probably worth it....
It's now a tossup between a TT EROP and Kifaru Xing. The wallet says EROp but the brain says Xing... decisions decisions...
Seriously though- for anyone contemplating a THE or one of the LAPG ripoffs.... Just stop right now. Take the money and put it toward another pack that actually works- doesn't have to be a super high-end pack- just one that works.
Accursed THE made 25 lb. feel like 40.... I've been more comfortable in LBE that weighed more then 25lb....
And that was going to be my basic BOB- apparently all the folks with pictures of them loaded up to the max have never put them on...
Maybe already common knowledge, but apparently maxped. packs do not run the size they say- have heard from multiple sources that the stated Cu. In. should be underestimated when buying....
And yeah- Maxped if pretty much synonymous with gun owners- unfortunately generally the less competent as well.....
