Know before you buy
The aluminum alloy stiffeners provide a rigid structure that helps maintain the pack's shape under heavy loads. Because they are custom-formable, you can bend them to match the natural contour of your back for a more ergonomic fit.
The choice depends on the specific model of your T.H.E. Pack. The Large frame measures 17.5" x 11.25", while the Small frame measures 15.625" x 8.25". We recommend measuring your pack's internal sleeve to ensure the frame dimensions align with your specific bag.
Yes, the frame is constructed from a double-layer, high-tech polymer designed to be crack-proof and resistant to extreme temperature fluctuations. It is engineered specifically to maintain its integrity in demanding, high-stress conditions.
The frame is designed to be lightweight while providing the necessary structure to distribute weight across your hips and shoulders. By shifting the load off your spine, the frame often makes a heavy pack feel lighter and more manageable during extended use.
