I’m also wondering about the noise. I put a molle frame, shoulder straps and waist belt on my summit climber 7-8 years ago. It really made carrying it more comfortable but I couldn’t stand the noise and creaking it made with every step. I couldn’t get rid of this noise, I even put foam between the stand and the frame thinking that would help but found it was the webbing of the straps and belt contacting/rubbing the frame that was making the noise-especially in cold weather. I installed paracord, tape, and a host of other things to no avail. Maybe carrying less weight with a saddle setup would decrease the noise.
I would think how the frame contours your back and holds everything close it would be better than hanging sticks from a pack putting the weight farther from your body.
@Rod Johnson @FUSE Are you noticing any
noise with the frame?
