The Vaucluse Ventilation Frame is the easy and lightest way to give your backpack that “ventilated back panel” feel. This design utilizes our patented airflow frame concept to create an airflow gap between you and the pack, helping to dump heat and eliminate clammy, soaked backs.
If your backpack lacks ventilation and causes you to sweat too much, our frame is the solution to optimize it. It's the lightest attachable backpack frame to make your backpack perfect. Easily attaches to frame and frameless backpacks. Fits on pack sizes 15L and larger.

I hate using the term "game changer" but in this case it really applies. On allll my hikes I have the consistent back sweat as my body works overtime to keep cool, and this thing made a huge difference. First trek through Lost Maples State Park and I was shocked at the different feeling of actual air passing between the pack and my back , just awesome ! I want to get another one for my other quick pack I keep in the trunk.

Not terribly useful, but still has a use. The straps keep coming undone so wear and tear is going to hill this afer a few long throughhike.

Overpriced. Annoying to position. The groves and teeth of the top pop out regularly. As do the spikes and groves for the main areas on the back.
It is good for airflow; but the inconveniences of the device far outweigh the benefits. Do NOT recommend.
