Ruck Ventilation Frame UL2

The Ruck Ventilation Frame (Ultralight 2) is the easiest and lightest way to give your ruck that “ventilated back panel” feel. This design uses our patented airflow frame concept to create an airflow gap between you and the pack, helping dissipate heat and prevent clammy, soaked backs.

If your ruck lacks ventilation and makes you sweat too much, our frame is the solution to help you optimize it. It's the lightest attachable backpack frame, making your backpack perfect. Easily attaches to frame and frameless backpacks. Fits on pack sizes 15L and larger.
