Research and Innovation
Bill Ostrom worked for 8 years with the Canadian Army, Queens University, and ergonomics specialists to design the suspension system (back frame, shoulder straps and hip belt) used in our internal frame backpacks. Click here for a description of the Internal Frame.

Fit
Our backpacks are designed to fit both men and women. The variety of back frame sizes, and interchangeable shoulder straps and hip belt allow the pack to be custom fit to each individual, regardless of body shape.
