Reviewers of the Bryce pack have described it as being slightly heavier than normal packs. This is due to the larger capacity and more features that allow the user to carry more equipment. The balance is said to be incredible and the ability to modify the strapping system is essential for the experienced backpacker. A wide range of body types and sizes, whether man or woman, can adjust the Bryce backpack to their personal comfort level.
This pack can easily handle 35-50 pounds, which is a lot for once person to carry, but it goes to show the capability of such a strong external frame. Given how effective and efficient these style of packs are, it's no wonder that external frames were utilized over 7,000 years ago!
