The backpacker needs an aluminum packframe to carry the weight of his equipment high and close to his body to permit walking in an erect position. The packframe will take extra clothing, personal items, tent or tarpaulin, cooking kit, and a reasonable amount of food. 1, record 1, English, - packframe

Un bon sac à dos revêt une importance capitale pour le randonneur. Il doit avant tout être monté sur une armature, qui répartit également la charge sur les reins et les épaules et libère le dos d’un désagréable frottement. Mais, si étudiée soit-elle, n’ importe quelle armature ne convient pas à n’ importe quel dos. On fera donc un essai avant de choisir entre les différents modèles offerts sur le marché :Sacs à armature rigide(en tubes de Duralumin ou d’acier léger) [...] Sacs à armature souple(des lames d’acier flexibles remplacent les tubes). 1, record 1, French, - armature

Frame rucksacks. Framed rucksacks are generally smaller and much easier to ski with than a packframe, yet will carry all the gear essential for a couple of nights on the trail. Again they must fit you. The bottom support band must sit on your back, not down on the buttocks, but somewhere in between that feels just right. 1, record 2, English, - frame%20rucksack

Sacs à armature rigide(en tubes de Duralumin ou d’acier léger). Ils sont légers, très appréciés des alpinistes; [...] il est parfois difficile de trouver celui qui s’adapte parfaitement à la conformation et aux dimensions du dos; sacs à armature souple(des lames d’acier flexibles remplacent les tubes). Ils présentent l'indiscutable avantage d’être réglables en hauteur, en largeur et en cambrure, grâce à un système de sangles. 1, record 2, French, - sac%20%C3%A0%20armature
