Introducing the Hunters Element Arete Frame, a revolution in multi-day backpack design. This brand-new design is lightweight yet incredibly strong, capable of carrying loads up to 50kg with unparalleled comfort. The Arete Frame is not just a bag, it's a game-changer for hunters and hikers alike. Its body-mapped design and next-gen dual-density padding provide maximum stability and stamina, making it ideal for hauling a wide variety of weight and bulk. What sets the Arete Frame apart is its meticulous design. It incorporates four separate aluminium stays, providing contoured strength and stability across the full width of the frame. This allows for even weight distribution across the hips, back and shoulders, increasing comfort and carrying capacity. The next-gen dual-density padding hugs the contact points for better weight distribution, and the FoamFlow™ cooling design allows fresh air to pass easily over your back, venting out heat and sweat. The Arete Frame is fully customisable to different body lengths, with a locking frame height adjustment system for a perfect fit. All tension points across the frame are reinforced for additional strength, and all hardware is made by Duraflex®, the industry leader in durable buckles and ladder locks. One of the standout features of the Arete Frame is the integrated meat shelf, designed to place heavy loads in the optimal position. This locks the weight snugly to the frame body and close to your spine for an energy-efficient, comfortable, and safer pack out. Available in black and weighing just 1.49kg, the Arete Frame is the core of the Arete pack system, a piece of premium design and engineering built to make the uncomfortable task of carrying weight and bulk over long distances, the best experience it can be.
