I am 62 and have a real bad heart and wanted to backpack again after a 45-year hiatus. I bought this Chinese/Aliexpress Backpack and couldn't be happier. Would I love a ZPacks Arc? Heck yes, but this does as well for not much more weight. I have taken it on two trips so far since my decision to backpack six weeks ago and I really could not be happier.

Frame: you should use foam mattress as the frame! I have used it twice with the Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol mattress as a frame, but recently got some corrugated plastic and made an ultralight frame as I now use a blowup mattress. I LOVE this pack and being forced into Social Security the price was perfect!
