Does anyone have experience with both halcyon and 1050d (or 525d) in larger bags like the Aeronaut 45l?
I'm purchasing a Techonaut 45l soon and I'm trying to decide if the fabric choice makes any difference in the need for a frame sheet.
According to their website they tested the T45 with and without a frame sheet and:
"When we performed the same tests wearing the Techonaut 45 with the internal frame, the results were different — and 50/50 split. Half of the crew liked the way the Techonaut 45 Internal Frame changed the carrying experience, and half felt it didn't do anything for them."
But they didn't mentioned if the material type had any influence. Basically I'm wondering if halcyon is so floppy that it'd *need* a frame sheet to be comfortable and support the bag weight on my hips for longer carries (with the padded waist straps) or if the 1050d would negate the need for a frame sheet due to its stiffer construction. I'm leaning towards the halcyon for weight savings and flexibility to pack it fuller but it'd be somewhat negated if I have to add a stiff frame sheet that adds extra weight to make it comfortable under load.
