X-Frame II Suspension
- The North Face backpacks
Founded on the geometry
of the original 'X-Frame' used in some of The North Face's rucksacks,
two lightweight carbon fiber stays (40% lighter and less susceptible
to breakdown than aluminum) provide structure and load support
to comfortably carry heavy loads. Stays are contoured to trace
the shape of the back and direct loads to the hipbelt.
