Packs that have a body-conforming frame assembly. In some embodiments, the frame assembly is adapted to conform in multiple dimensions to the shape of a user's back or other body portion. In some embodiments, the frame assembly's shape is at least substantially defined by the shape of the flexible pack to which the frame assembly is secured. In some embodiments, the pack includes a retainer assembly that secures the frame assembly to the pack, with the retainer assembly optionally defining a compartment that is smaller in at least one dimension than the frame assembly. The frame assembly may be an internal or an external frame assembly and may include ventilation structure. In some embodiments, the pack includes a hydration system, with the pack including a compartment that receives a fluid reservoir, from which a drinking tube extends external the pack to a mouthpiece.

1. A pack system, comprising:a pack adapted to be secured upon a user's back, wherein the pack includes at least one compartment adapted to receive an object to be carried and a back-facing surface that is adapted to face a user's back when the pack is secured upon the user's back; a harness adapted
1. A pack system, comprising:a pack adapted to be secured upon a user's back, wherein the pack includes at least one compartment adapted to receive an object to be carried and a back-facing surface that is adapted to face a user's back when the pack is secured upon the user's back; a harness adapted to secure the pack upon a user's back; a frame assembly adapted to at least partially define the shape of the back-facing surface, wherein the frame assembly includes a body and a plurality of projecting members that extend from the body, and further wherein the plurality of projecting members includes a pair of upwardly extending frame arms and a single downwardly extending frame leg; and means for coupling the frame assembly and the pack together such that the frame assembly is flexed to have a complex curvature, wherein the means for coupling is adapted to couple the projecting members to the pack. 2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a hydration system with a fluid reservoir that is adapted to be received within the compartment, an elongate drink tube that extends from the reservoir out of the compartment to a mouthpiece from which a user may selectively draw drink fluid from the reservoir.3. The system of claim 1, wherein the means for coupling includes a retainer assembly adapted to couple the frame assembly to the pack, wherein the retainer assembly defines a frame-receiving socket that is smaller in at least one dimension than a corresponding dimension of the frame assembly.4. The system of claim 3, further comprising a hydration system with a fluid reservoir that is adapted to be received within the compartment, and an elongate drink tube that extends from the reservoir out of the compartment to a mouthpiece from which a user may selectively draw drink fluid from the reservoir.5. The system of claim 1, wherein the means for coupling includes an external retention structure that is coupled to the pack and adapted to receive the frame assembly and to flex the frame assembly into a complex curvature.6. The system of claim 5, wherein the complex curvature includes a convex curvature that corresponds to the user's lumbar region and a concave curvature that corresponds to the user's shoulder region.7. The system of claim 1, wherein the means for coupling includes a pair of arm sleeves complementarily configured to receive the frame arms, and a leg sleeve complementarily configured to receive the frame leg.8. The system of claim 7, further comprising a hydration system with a fluid reservoir that is adapted to be received within the compartment, and an elongate drink tube that extends from the reservoir out of the compartment to a mouthpiece from which a user may selectively draw drink fluid from the reservoir.9. The system of claim 1, wherein the frame assembly includes means for selectively shaping the frame.10. The system of claim 9, further comprising a hydration system with a fluid reservoir that is adapted to be received within the compartment, and an elongate drink tube that extends from the reservoir out of the compartment to a mouthpiece from which a user may selectively draw drink fluid from the reservoir.11. A backpack, comprising:a pack including a primary storage compartment with a back-facing surface; a harness connected to the back-facing surface and configured to secure the pack on a user's body; a retention structure connected to the back-facing surface, wherein the retention structure includes a pair of arm-receiving sleeves laterally separated from one another by a first width, and a leg receiving sleeve vertically separated from each of the arm receiving sleeves by a first length; and a frame assembly configured to at least partially define the shape of the pack, wherein the frame assembly includes a pair of generally upwardly-extending projecting members that are laterally separated from one another by a second width that is greater than the first width, and a downwardly extending projecting member that is vertically separated from the upwardly projecting members by a second length that is greater than the first length, and further wherein the retention structure is adapted to flex the frame laterally to approximately the first width and vertically to approximately the first length upon insertion of the projecting members into the sleeves. 12. The backpack of claim 11, wherein the retention structure is adapted to fixedly secure the projecting members to the pack.13. The backpack of claim 11, wherein the retention structure includes a first region that is fixedly secured to the back-facing surface, and at least one free region that extends from the first region and which includes a releasable fastening mechanism.14. The backpack of claim 11, further comprising a hydration system with a fluid reservoir that is adapted to be received within the compartment, and an elongate drink tube that extends from the reservoir out of the compartment to a mouthpiece from which a user may selectively draw drinkpuid from the reservoir.15. The backpack of claim 11, wherein the frame assembly is configured for removable insertion into the retention structure.16. The backpack of claim 15, further comprising a hydration system with a fluid reservoir that is adapted to be received within the compartment, and an elongate drink tube that extends from the reservoir out of the compartment to a mouthpiece from which a user may selectively draw drink fluid from the reservoir.17. The backpack of claim 11, wherein the retention structure is connected to the back-facing surface by an intermediate structure.18. The backpack of claim 17, wherein the intermediate structure includes a harness.19. The backpack of claim 11, wherein at least one of the sleeves includes a pad adapted to extend generally away from the back-facing surface and thereby toward a user's back when the backpack is worn on a user's back.20. The backpack of claim 19, wherein the leg-receiving sleeve includes a pad adapted to cushion the downwardly extending projecting member against a user's lumbar region.
