Framus 48L by Bonfus

Bonfus Framus 48L pack

I recently started looking for a new Ultralight pack. I been using the zpacks Arc Blast for quite a few yrs. and it finally needed to be replaced. My base weight runs 9/10 lbs. and was looking for a 40L internal pack with load lifters. At 65yrs old I prefer them. This Framus is right in line with Ultralight packs. This pack is comfortable! with a frame, Love it!!! I agree with other comments about side pockest being a little small. I can squeeze 2 1 liter bottles next to each other but it's really tight. I reach around for my water. I Don't care to have water hanging off the front of me. Sometimes I like to use a 1.5 liter on each side if knowing long water carries might happen and it's very hard to put back in. Not a game changer for me though because of the comfort of this pack. I'll live with it. Overall very pleased with it. Heading to AZT next wk with it to finish last half of trail. The hipbelt fits and holds very nicely, no complaints here! 👌 They just need to address hipbelt pockets being a little bigger and even a bungee pull to tighten pocket up, I would repurchase!!!🙂

Nice pack. Wanted ultralight, but with some sort of frame and load support. This one fit the bill.

Best pack I’ve used.

Hands down best and most comfortable pack I’ve used. It carried my gear exceptionally well and handled the weight really well. Would definitely recommend to others.
