A frameless pack would NOT be comfortable. But, if you must have a frameless one then here is one. It will carry the weight and not break. It will break you though. I have three of them. Around the $30 range, but I didn't buy mine, they were given to me by my uncle Sam. I would never consider taking it hiking.


If you want to carry a LOT of weight without breaking the bank, then look at either a hunting pack that is used to carry out deer, like a Kelty Cache Hauler, or a military MOLLE pack. There is also the now discontinued Marine Corps ILBE that is flooding the surplus stores now that the Marines have replaced it with a new pack. You can get really good used ones in the $100 range. All three of these packs are HEAVY, but they will also take a lot of weight and be comfortable (comfortable is a relative term, you won't really be comfortable, just less miserable than with other less comfortable packs).
