BACKPACT FRAME DESIGN
US Patent #7021508
 The design is a direct result of the mission requirements. We believe the best way to carry heavy loads is with an external frame backpack. The external frame backpack allows the individual to have many more carriage options than an internal frame backpack. The historical problem with external frame backpacks has been comfort and durable construction. By understanding the principles of efficient load bearing, we have been able to design an external frame backpack that works! This is not an easy task when you consider how complex the human body is. Strapping a heavy load onto your body can pose many problems. An understanding of the human musculoskeletal system and how it functions is important in designing an efficient rucksack. Any backpack that straps onto your body will decrease your efficiency.
The idea is to find a backpack that will inflict the least amount of
pain and still get the job done.
The suspension is the key. The job of efficiently transferring the
weight of the backpack to your body rests upon the suspension
system. A poor
design results in pain and suffering. A good
design
results in less.

This backpack frame is so well designed and constructed that
it can probably hold more than you can carry. With this being
said, you need to use good sound judgment when carrying
heavy backpacks. Your physical abilities and training will
have an impact on how much you can carry safely in your
rucksack. Scientific studies have shown loads greater
than
30%-40% of your body weight cause a disproportionate
rise in energy expenditure.
