I have the Guide Lite frame and can vouch for its durability. I currently use it as a training ruck in the gym. I’ve packed 3 Bears, 3 Deer, and 1 Elk with it. The frame is a tank. It seems really flimsy on first glance but it’s holding up great. There was some hot spots on it from rubbing against equipment but nothing Leuko Tape and Electrical Tape couldn’t cover.
Currently after 4 years of abuse the straps from the pack to the frame are wearing out. I blame it on weight plates not the company.
I will say the frame creeks a lot. I have no experience with the popup but it seems solid maybe it creeks less I’m not sure. The Guide Lite Mt also has bigger bag options if you’re into that.
