The Ventilation Frame is an attachable backpack airflow frame that fits directly on your favorite backpack. This backpack spacer attaches in seconds to your favorite backpack (framed or frameless) to upgrade airflow, reduce back heat, and increase comfort. 

Our Dyneema packs are the lightest framed backpacks on the market, allowing maximum airflow and comfort. Equipped with five outer pockets: two large side pockets for easy access to water bottles and other items, two small side pockets for additional storage, and one main body external pocket.

The Mesh Sleeve fits around the ventilation frame like a sock and provides a cushion layer. It is ideal for larger packs (greater than 45L), heavy loads (over 30 pounds), and high-intensity activities like running, rucking, or bicycling. Or if you want a more soft fit on your back, the sleeve delivers.

Vaucluse backpack ventilation gear upgrades your favorite backpack's airflow and ventilation. The backpack's weight is spread across an ergonomic frame that instantly curves to your back. Most backpacks have rough, absorbent mesh padding that becomes uncomfortable over time. Our gear fixes this problem, preventing chafing and sweat retention.

When your pack is strapped on tight, your back can't breathe. Our backpack ventilation gear fixes this by offering 100% more airflow than conventional backpack designs. It naturally ventilates your body and minimizes unwanted heat, moisture, and odor.

Frameless backpacks lack rigid shape, and can gradually harm the wearer if overloaded or improperly fitted. Even premium framed packs are often misused, with users loosening the straps for more airflow. Our ventilation backpack gear adds a comfortable structure to any bag, helping to prevent injury by evenly distributing weight across your body.

"The instant I put my bag back on with the ventilation frame on it and turned a breeze blew right between my back and backpack and, I was floored. I had no idea it would be that big of an impact. My back stayed dry all day long" Instagram @james_phoenix86

"I'm loving the frame. The biggest advantage the Cool-Dry Frame offers is helping you stay warmer once you get to your hunting location. So by significantly reducing or eliminating upper body perspiration, you'll be much warmer once you get settled into your hunting spot." YouTube @ProCaliber HQ YouTuber

"I always sweat like a mother and then freeze as soon as I stop, so it was nice not to have my backpack soaked when I took it off to take a break and put back on. It was lightweight and fit well. I am always cold but sweat quickly and a lot when hiking which is a weird combination and hard to regulate at times." Instagram @one.with.the.speed

"I used the frame with my go-to 75L pack. My concern was losing stability with the bigger pack. That was not an issue at all. The frame helped take some pressure off my shoulders. My back was not soaked like usual. The next day we switched, and my wife stayed dry and happy. Both packs felt more comfortable with the frame. It exceeded both of our expectations. I really appreciate you coming up with a solution to a problem I thought I just had to live with." Instagram @daveroggenbuck

"I'll tell you what I do feel: I feel air moving against my back. That's awesome. Because even though it's a cool morning, I'm warm enough that, if I didn't have this frame, I would definitely be sweating by now." YouTube channel, Gone Feral with Squidly

"Loved it! The Vaucluse Ultralight Backpack Ventilation Frame provided excellent breathability around my back. It also prevented sweat from building up and causing potentially hypothermic conditions in the winter. It is especially important to regulate body temperature during the winter when you’re layered up. This piece of gear was very helpful in that mission." Instagram @swezer_outdoors

"It totally exceeded my expectations. My back and shirt stayed dry. My shirt even stayed in place (did not bunch up mid-back like usual). I could actually feel a cool airflow on my back while hiking. It was very comfortable. I had wondered if the frame would dig in my back, but I did not even feel it was there." Instagram @mden

"The Cool-Dry Frame kept my back from sweating while carrying this heavy pack on many adventures in Iceland, which is a great thing when it's below-freezing outside." @silverstonesubie

"I've never felt that type of cooling out here in these temperatures. Now I'm getting much more consistent airflow and evaporative cooling around my entire core, and that is really helping me stay out and move harder and longer. It just keeps your core down that much easier.” ~ watch full review on YouTube.
