Here is a vintage Jansport External Frame Backpack - Rainier Model - Large. This came in two sizes and this has quite a large capacity. I bought this brand new in the mid late 90s and after 40+ years backpacking I decided its time to hang up the pack for the sake of safety. This has one repair that was done many years ago with a pliable 'rubber glue' of some type and its never failed. Besides that no issues except its old and faded. They dont make packs like this anymore, and they seem to last forever - not to mention the great lifetime warrnty on all Jansport products! If you got the strength and extra bungee cords much more gear can be added to the pack for the long pack trips. If I was hanging up my pack boots for good - this would not be for sale. I doubt you can buy a new pack of this quality. This is being sold as is, as described and as pictured but no warranty is implied or given. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
