Stansport Freighter Aluminum Pack Frame (574-F), Black

I bought this pack for a dual purpose. The first and main use is for transporting my double bull blind into the turkey woods. I attach it with bungee cords, along with two chairs and hang a book bag full of gear on it and the pack simply works awesome. The blind and chairs sit on the ledge at the bottom and don't slide out. The pack is very light weight, strong, durable and super comfortable when packing things in and out. I haven't tried it for backpacking in on a camping trip, but I think it would work great. And the price I found was very reasonable. I would strongly recommend this product.

I wore this for six days elk hunting. One of the days I carried about 30lb. I think it’s moderately comfortable. I am rating it five stars on performance in regards to price. There’s better backpacks out there. For the price point this is a five star.

So far, so good. Used this to haul 2 large tote bins up to my campsite, as well as a few other things like my sleeping pad, etc. It was comfortable to wear and was able to hold the weight I was carrying, but I will say that I had to used extra tie-down straps to actually secure the stuff I was carrying. That may not be an issue for everyone, but is good to know. I would like if there were longer straps integrated into the frame itself so that I didn't need to use my own tie-downs or bungees. That said, it's a pretty decent item so far and I can still picture using it for a variety of things.

You came here for the price. So did I. Well, it's a surprisingly good pack for the money. Would I choose it to pack out 100+ pounds at a time? No. But if you're buying it 'just in case' for a one-time trip, like me, you aren't planning on 100+lb loads. It'll absolutely do fine for the 50-75 pound loads you're expecting to have.

This Alice Frame is super versatile - I usually use it to haul my gear for kayak camping trips, but found additional use for it when I was moving house. It allows me, a small 5'5" woman to haul a massive amount of stuff @ one go. I have put up to 80lbs of stuff on it and it held up with no problems. It also comes @ a good price point, and performs as well as a more expensive product. I would recommend investing in extra straps to get maximum use out of this Alice Frame.

Do I dare admit this? This frame is almost perfect, but I'm not even using it outdoors! It's all about vacuum cleaners! I'm not a fan of uprights, and dragging a canister around keeps tangling up with things. I wanted a backpack vacuum so the unit says with me. What's available are either pricey or suspiciously cheap looking (or both). I actually bought a GV backpack vacuum which is well enough (details elsewhere) but I still had a couple old canister vacs (with MUCH better power heads than the GV) that I just couldn't bring myself to throw out. Rather I've spent months combing Craigslist looking for a decent backpack frame that I could strap those old canister vacs to. No real luck (or those offered locally were way pricey). I stumbled on this frame and the shelf was a perfect solution to my objectives. I can set the canister on the shelf, strap it to the frame, and behold! a cheap and re-purposed backpack vacuum cleaner. My only to-be-resolved issue is the power switch can't be reached while wearing the combo (may put a switch in the power cord, but that's a low priority). So, at least so far, I'm hugely pleased.

Arrived on time, very comfortable pack. I use it for weighted rucking with 30lbs on it.

So I've had the pack for about 2 years and it finally gave out. The shoulder strap completely ripped out with about 75lbs of weight in it. And the shoulder straps aren't that comfortable over 50lbs. It's a good starter pack but don't trust the weight limit as the bottom bar will give out and bend back pretty easily too.

This backpack is lightweight and well constructed.

Ein gutes Gerät zum tragen unhandlicher Gegenstände wenn ich meine Hände frei brauche

Resistente y muy ajustable, se puede cargar mucho y con buena estabilidad.

The aluminum frame seems OK for the price. The black nylon (?) harness and belt system seems very cheaply made and not something you can rely on. I will be using a better quality harness & belt from a milsurp pack frame instead.

It is suitable for it's intended use which is hunting and meat packing. I removed the top bar, not sure what purpose it serves and just seemed like extra weight. There were several sharp edges which I filed off or applied camo duct tape so I wouldn't get cut or damage my rifle. In some locations the pins were way too long so I drilled new holes so they wouldn't stick out so far and a taped a most of them too just make sure they don't scratch my stuff or my truck. I've taken it out elk hunting 4 or 5 times and will have to deal with a persistent squeak from the shoulder strap where is rides over the top bars - this is really annoying and elk-alerting. I also taped the back mesh along the side bar where my rifle rests just so the synthetic stalk would rub through the material. Once these few manufacturing/design flaws are fixed I think it will last me 25 years like my last one did.
