Packs, Backpacks & Packframes
Please note: These packs and pack frames are NOT designed to replace the large and heavy divider system packs (such as the Lowepro Trekker, Tamrac Extreme Photo Backpack etc.). Currently we do not offer a "carry the kitchen sink" packs similar to these. Our approach is to provide hybrid "half and half" packs -- some space for photo equipment and some space for personal gear. In particular, you will find our heavy-duty pack frames very comfortable for taller-than-average people, compared to most photo packs.

Packframes
Our heavy-duty packframes are specialized gear for extending the capacity and comfort of your system. It is a frame only -- a bag such as a Journeyman pack or long lens case attaches to it which provides a containier for your equipment.
Note to long lens owners: All our padded harnesses (H245 or H250) can be attached directly to a long lens case. A pack frame is only needed if you want to carry a heavy tripod or if you are rather tall and want a more comfortable fit.

[P017] Narrow Heavy-duty Pack Frame
This is a narrow double-wide pack frame and is designed for backpacking and mountaineering. Because of the the narrower design (compared to the P019), a tripod cannot be mounted next to the long lens case or Journeyman pack. The P017 is primarily designed for use with the Journeyman pack on multi-day trips where a sleeping bag, tent and foam pad are needed. On day hikes or summit days, the frame can be jettisoned -- the harness can be attached to the Kinesis Journeyman pack providing you with a lean and mean alpine pack!
