[pct-l] cold sweaty back

[ned at pacificcrestcustombuilders.com]

One answer to this question is to select a pack that carries its weight on 
your pelvis rather than your back, for example the frame pack.

Another related question I have for the List is, do internal frame packs 
that constantly receive moisture from your back, ever mold??
