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.
