The Hunters Element Arete Frame Black is a premium design, engineered to provide exceptional comfort and stability for hunters carrying heavy loads over long distances. As the core component of the modular Arete pack system, this frame is both lightweight and incredibly strong, capable of carrying up to 50kg.

It incorporates an XLADDER™ Chassis with four separate aluminium stays, carefully crafted to distribute weight evenly across the hips, back, and shoulders. This design significantly increases comfort and enhances the user's carrying capacity.

The frame features next-gen dual-density padding, which offers a new level of support. This innovative padding conforms closely to contact points for superior weight distribution, allowing for a more ergonomic shape in both the hip belt and back supports. This caters to a wider range of body shapes and includes the FoamFlow™ design, which creates open channels for fresh air to circulate over your back, venting out heat and sweat for enhanced cooling.

The Arete Frame length is fully customisable to suit different body lengths. A secure locking frame height adjustment system ensures that once set, it remains in place for consistent comfort.

For durability in rugged outdoor conditions, all tension points across the frame are reinforced. The hardware is made by Duraflex®, an industry leader known for robust buckles and ladder locks (webbing and strap adjusters).

A key feature for hunters is the integrated meat shelf, meticulously crafted to position heavy meat loads optimally close to the spine. This design locks the weight snugly to the frame body, promoting an energy-efficient, comfortable, and safer pack out.
