Thoughts on eberlestock packs

I just used an Eberlestock HIspeed II for 2 weeks in the jungles of Southeast Asia, carrying up to 65 lbs in it training as well. It was great, I felt it was more comfortable then other packs I have had that were a lot more expensive. I have carried heavy many times with many rucks and this...

New Stone Glacier Avail 2200

I tried the avail for a short walk with 60lbs. It was about the most painful backpack I have ever tried. The internal frame is way too flexible, so that with the bag stuffed, it bowed. I liked the bag, but to carry more than 30 lbs is incredibly painful, you were right about that. This bag...

that amount, which would be a rare carry, would be for food when hiking in Asia, mostly rice, sugar, coffee, salt. 30K of rice can easily fit in a 30 liter bag. On the carry on, just hiking clothes and blanket, toiletries etc. Usually once I get there, I am walking with closer to 40 lbs, but...

I take my bags overseas and need to be able to use it as a carry on. The avail 2200 really interests me, however would like to know if the internal frame bends from putting 60lbs - 80 lbs in it? I will not be using any of the attachable frames because that means i cannot carry it on. I hike...
