You know what I'm talking about - that pack-shaped dark spot on the back of your shirt you get after wearing a backpack. The sticky, smothering discomfort of wearing clothes soaked with sweat. Been there, done that.

We invented the Ultralight Ventilation Backpack Frame to help enjoy backpacking more comfortably. The beauty of the outdoors brought me back out again and again, but I was limited by how sweaty I got on extended hikes. If we just didn't get so dehydrated and uncomfortable, we'd have a much better time outdoors.

The Ventilation Backpack Frame enables continuous ventilation by making space between your back and your pack, allowing natural airflow to draw away excess body heat and moisture as you move. It keeps you cooler so you sweat less, and when you do sweat, it helps it evaporate before it becomes a problem. This also means less sweat ending up in your backpack, which prevents odor and extends the lifespan of your gear.

Now we can plan twelve-mile loops through Big Bend without worrying about packing extra water and a second shirt. We can also bring a backpack on vacation or on my commute and never wonder whether we'll regret it. When we are out on the trail, qw can focus on appreciating nature instead of the beads of sweat rolling down my spine.

We like it a lot better that way. We think you will too.
