Backpacks come in all shapes and sizes with basically two different types for the backcountry packer.

1) Internal frame backpack
2) External frame backpack

So which is best and why? Well the short answer is it depends. It will depend on your physical conditioning Wholesale Cincinnati Bengals Jersey , how heavy a load you plan on carrying, type of terrain expected, your activity while carrying the pack, how much stuff you plan on packing Wholesale Chicago Bears Jersey , is the weather hot or cold, and finally which fits your personal style best.

External frame backpacks are called this simply because they have the framework on the outside. These "old-school-style" packs generally can carry more weight while positioning the weight higher on your back. This allows for good vertical load transfers to the hips providing you with a more natural upright walking posture. They are very suitable to hiking on well established trails free from low over-hanging branches or difficult terrain. The frame also keeps the pack suspended away from your back allowing lots of air flow between you and your pack making it cooler to use in hot weather. The external frame also provides for easy attachment of extra gear. Proper loading is accomplished more easily with the many small compartments and the framework allows the wearer to carry awkward unbalanced loads easily.

The downsides to externals are that they do carry the weight high and away from your back so they don't have the best weight stability on your back. You run the risk of feeling tipsy and off-balanced during scrambling maneuvers or when climbing or descending dicey terrain. These packs also often tend to be wider and bulky sticking out from your body, so they tend to get hung up on branches and brush in close quarters.

Internal frame backpack's name come from having the framework on the inside the pack. This makes for a much more compact and form-fitting pack, better for the backpacker who'll be hiking rugged trails that require freedom of movement and balance Wholesale Carolina Panthers Jersey , or activities that require independent arm movement; such as skiing, or climbing. The flexible suspension can be also be formed to follow the contours of the spine for a more comfortable fit. The load also rides close to the back bringing the pack's center of gravity closer to the wearer's center of gravity, creating a balanced and stable load during higher speed activities.

The downsides to internals are that they usually have one big center compartment rather than many small compartments making it more difficult to load and find gear. There are not as many options available to hang extra gear on the outside of the pack because the frame is not exposed. With an internal frame you can have a tendency to walk leaning forward to counterbalance the load on your back. Also they are much hotter on your back because they don't allow air flow between your pack and back.

So which is best? That can only be determined by you and what you want from your pack.

SANAA, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- The Houthi rebels are tightening its grip on Yemen's capital Sanaa and excluding their ally Wholesale Buffalo Bills Jersey , General People's Congress (GPC) party of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, from power amid growing tensions between the two sides, local security officials and analysts said.


The developments followed sporadic deadly clashes and a media war between them which started after the GPC decided to mark its founding anniversary a week ago.


Each side is accusing the other of misuse of public funds and corruption, and the differences have already reached a dangerous point.


This week Wholesale Baltimore Ravens Jersey , Houthis killed a senior military commander close to Saleh, attacked Saleh's lawyer and have been accusing key aides of Saleh of being a fifth column.


Moreover, they have fired dozens of GPC military and non-military officials and are planning to announce a state of emergency in Sanaa, shut down social media platforms and other measures.


The Iran-backed Houthis and the GPC allied in September 2014 Wholesale Atlanta Falcons Jersey , when they ousted the UN-backed government and later sparked a civil war and a Saudi-led bombing campaign.


Their alliance has since been running the capital Sanaa as well as northern, central, southwestern and western regions, and fighting the forces of the legitimate government and the Saudi-led coalition Wholesale Arizona Cardinals Jersey , which has been supporting the legitimate government since March 2015 by targeting Houthi-Saleh forces and weapons depots.


The Houthi-Saleh earliest alliance started in 2011 when key political parties allied in a year-long uprising against the regime of Saleh. Saleh resorted to the Houthis to resist his biggest rivals, especially the Islah Party, or Yemen's Muslim brotherhood, which was powerful at all public and military institutions and large militias.


When the Houthis expanded their presence to Sanaa in 2014 Wholesale Authentic Football Jerseys , Saleh had no option but to ally with them because other groups were all planning to defeat him.


In some terms, the Houthi-Saleh alliance was based on regionalism, as both are from the north.


On the other hand, the U.S. and Saudi Arabia also played key roles in the 2014 developments which led to chaos in Yemen.


The U.S. and Saudi feared the Islah Party would seize power because it was the second largest party after the GPC.


Since the first day of the Houthi-Saleh alliance Wholesale NFL Football Jerseys , it was expected the old enemies Houthis and the GPC would fight each other in the end.


Saleh fought six wars against the Houthi group during his presidency from 2002 to 2009. His troops killed the brother of Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi in these wars backed by Saudi Arabia.


Faris Al-Beel, a political analyst and college professor, said all signs indicate the Houthi-Saleh alliance has already come to its end.


"What is happening in Sanaa at the moment is a power struggle between different ideologies. Whi.
