ZERO IRRITATION WHEN RUCKING SHIRTLESS

Say goodbye to friction burn. 210D HT (High Tenacity) CORDURA® on the back panel and underside of the shoulder straps does NOT cause friction burn on your skin and it plays well with less durable fabrics like merino wool.

ERGONOMIC LUMBAR SUPPORT

An additional 10mm of EVA foam padding along the bottom section of the back panel supports the natural curve of your back. It’s raised up, protects you from friction from seams on and if it’s exposed to your skin, that’s no problem either.
