Pack Info

V-Frame™ Suspension:
Our Tango pack is built upon our revered Bora suspension design - a sturdy, dual aluminum stay system positioned in a V alignment. This configuration is the key to our pivoting hipbelt design, which improves load stability and allows natural hip rotation on technical terrain, conserving critical energy.

The Echo pack utilizes a stripped down version of our V-Frame™ suspension system. This lighter system maintains all the carrying power of the Bora suspension, but features a slimmer profile shoulder strap and pivoting hipbelt to reduce bulk. The back panel consists of an ultra-thin laminated foam layer that gets the load close to the back while the stiff plastic insert maintains the shape and rigidity.

Vapor™ Technology:
The Tango and Echo packs feature back panels, hipbelts and shoulder straps made with our revolutionary Vapor™ thermoformed technology. Constructed of layers of variable density foam, they are laminated and thermoformed into a curved and cupped shape that conforms to the anatomical contours of the wearer. This thermoformed shape removes pressure from the hips and shoulders, transferring the load gently over the entire area of contact. This proven suspension construction method increases comfort and the ability to carry heavy loads for longer periods.
