You’ll want the bulk of the weight low with the external pack, since this helps your balance as you’re hiking. With internal frame packs, you’ll want the heaviest items placed in the middle of your back close to your body. This method of packing keeps the weight close to your center of gravity and allows you to turn around without the backpack pulling you off-balance.
