I'm after a tough simple rucksack to pop on my back when cycling to carry tools, lucn, water etc. It's to replace an old 24l one, which is a bit too small, and I'm looking at Berghaus's Munro.
I know it's been around since prehistoric times, well almost, and many people have had one for years so it must be very robust but I'd like to know a bit more about what the internal frame is made from. I bought a cheapie rucksack but after a couple of trips had to take it back because the metal frame had started to wear through at the top.
So, can anyone tell me what the frame is made from and how it's likely to cope? Is it removable/accessible or sewn in (I would consider adding some extra padding over the frame top if I could) ? I'm not sure if wearing one whilst cycling puts any more strain on the straps but I would expect most to cope.
