A-16 external frame packs are the BEST ever made.  Mine is from 1976, with 
two extra compartments I sewed myself, so it looks like hell, but oh does it 
haul.  In 1994 I met a guy in Ranco Cayamucka who said my pack looked like 
an apparatus.  But he couldn't resist putting it on and walking around for a 
little bit.  Then he offered to trade his new (2 trail miles) $245,  7lb 
Gregory for mine even up.  He still has his Gregory, but he looks good. In 
fact, he LOOKS like he just came down from the summit of Everest.   Hike on 
!  Bob Riess at the trailhead.

My pack is still an A-16 frame circa 1971 with a replacement bag from
??? both of which I got at Sierra Equipment in San Francisco on Polk St.
