Add a cushion layer to your attachable ventilation frame with our mesh sleeve accessory. The sleeve fits around the frame like a sock and provides added cushion between your back and the frame. It is ideal for larger packs (greater than 45L), heavy loads (over 30 pounds), and high-intensity activities like running, rucking, and bicycling. Or if you just want a more soft fit on your back, the sleeve delivers.
While the frame maximizes ventilation, the mesh sleeve increases comfort while allowing airflow on your back.
The mesh sleeve provides more comfort with two different meshes: a thin mesh layer and a cushioned mesh side for a thicker layer of comfort. The frame is comfortable and designed to maximize airflow. The sleeve covers the frame to offer additional cushioning. 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 just want a more soft fit on your back, the sleeve delivers.

The Mesh Sleeve is handmade in the United States—Logan, Utah. Designed for optimal comfort, the Ventilation Frame Mesh Sleeve features a two-fabric design: 3D and pocket mesh. The two fabrics aim to balance the goals of maximizing airflow (backpack mesh) and comfort (3D mesh). The breathable fabric will wick away sweat from your back and allow airflow to provide a cooling experience.
