The design, in my opinion, is excellent. The frame is almost unnoticeable when empty and on your back. The fold down platform on the bottom worked exceptionally well as a rest for the weight I put on it. Then the webbing on the sides which have the attached cinch straps did a great job of sufficiently supporting and securing the load. The hike out was approximately 1 1/2 miles through knee-deep snow. The load never shifted, came loose or was anything other than properly balanced on my back. It never created any balance issues while I was walking or gave me any problem. I am not a "backpacker" so I didn't really know what to expect. But I was very pleased with the performance of your product.

I bought a freighter frame specifically for my once in a lifetime hunt in the Missouri Breaks. After 12 days of hunting, I was finally able to test out the durability of the product. I skinned out the back end of the animal and a friend carried out the back quarters. I stuffed the attached hide, rib cage, into a drybag duffle and then we tied the whole front end(including front quarters head and horns) to the frame. The crude estimation was the animal weighed 350lbs  guts and hind quarters, I figure my share tipped the scale at about 135lbs.

I did not do these calculations before hefting the pack onto my 6' 190 lbs frame, but was so high from the hunt, it could've been a volkswagon. It was 1/2 mile to 3/4 mile walk to the truck. I took one break. The frame did excellent and held up well to a torturous first outing. The ram will score in the mid 180s.
