Framus 58L

Update: we are switching the fabric for the side pockets, shoulder straps and hipbelt wings from Robic HDPE to UltraGrid Black. Pictures coming soon. For more info contact us!

The Framus 58L is the perfect pack for multi-day adventures where long food carries and heavier pack loads require a rigid frame for superior weight transfer.

The Framus is also our most versatile pack. The frame and back foam pad can be removed when needed to transform the Framus into a frameless pack for fast and light trips requiring the lowest possible weight.

The Framus features some of the most technologically advanced waterproof materials to create a pack that is both very lightweight and durable.

“I was really surprised about the comfort of the Framus backpack. Even pushing it way out of its designed carry load, I found it as comfortable as frameless packs with a standard 5kg base weight.” Matthias Ekman after his solo traverse of the Great Himalayan Trail. Read the interview here.

“[…] there is a secret sauce that I can’t quite identify that makes it (the Framus, Ed.) stand out. It was immediately apparent to me the moment I put the pack on loaded up — high-quality construction at a near best-in-class weight with an excellent carry. It’s hard to imagine anyone being disappointed in this pack.” Scott Nechemias. Read the review here.

Available in Ultra 200, Dyneema Composite Fabrics, Xpac.

Compared to frameless packs, it allows longer food and water carries, with much greater comfort thanks to an anatomically shaped frame.

The Framus is built for long and tough adventures. With triple stitched sewn-in hipbelt, reinforced seams for shoulder straps, high-density foam and the most advanced fabrics on earth, the Framus is your trusted companion on the highest peaks.

ULTRA™ – The Ultimate Textile

The Challenge ULTRA™ line of fabrics is composed of the highest performing UHMWPE composite fabrics in the world.

The tight weave is laminated with an eco-friendly adhesive to our revolutionary Challenge RUV™ film. The result is a textile that is incredible strong, lightweight, and waterproof to 20 000mm. ULTRA™ performs in the harshest environments, in both sub-zero and tropical climates.
