LiteAF Curve Full Suspension

The removable aluminum stays act as a structural skeleton, transferring weight from your shoulders to your hips much more effectively than a frameless pack. This makes it significantly more stable when carrying heavier gear like bear canisters or multi-day food supplies.

The pack is constructed with seam-taped, weather-resistant nylon, which provides excellent protection against rain and trail moisture. However, because it uses a roll-top closure rather than a hermetically sealed zipper, we recommend using a pack liner or dry bags for critical items during sustained downpours.

This pack is designed for customization, so you should measure your torso length and hip circumference accurately before ordering. Because the torso length and hip belt sizes are specific, taking these measurements ensures the load-lifters and suspension system align correctly with your body for maximum comfort.

Yes, the back panel is designed to create a slight gap between your back and the pack body, which encourages airflow. While no pack eliminates back sweat entirely, this design significantly reduces heat buildup compared to flat-panel ultralight packs.

With a 61-liter capacity, the main compartment is spacious enough to accommodate most standard bear canisters vertically or horizontally. The roll-top closure also provides extra flexibility if you need to expand the volume slightly to secure the canister.

Absolutely. It is specifically engineered for long-distance trekking, balancing the durability needed for hundreds of miles with the weight savings required for thru-hiking. The combination of load lifters, a padded hip belt, and aluminum stays is built to minimize fatigue over extended periods on the trail.
