The Backpack Ventilation Frame Max Ultralight 3 is the easiest way to give your ultralight backpack that “ventilated back panel” feel. This design uses Vaucluse’s patented airflow frame concept to create a gap between you and the pack, helping dissipate heat and eliminate clammy, soaked backs after long, humid trail climbs. This Max UL3 version is our newest version, designed specifically for ultralight backpackers.
This ventilation frame features a sleeker design and attachment system specifically for ultralight backpacks or any backpack with attachment points on the sides (see photos). The four corners of the sleeve secure to any four points on your backpack and can be adjusted up or down to find the perfect location.
This version differs from our standard ventilation frame in that it lacks the overhead loops that wrap around the backpack's shoulder straps. As a result, this Max frame is 7 ounces lighter. Total weight is 4.8 ounces (137 grams).
The Max UL3 Ventilation Frame delivers a “moves-with-you” comfort that keeps you cooler, drier, and more comfortable, making it a cult favorite.
Compatible with Ultralight Backpack Brands: Bonfus, Durston, Gossamer, Hyperlite, LiteAF, Nashville, Outdoor Vitals, Packpack Design, Pa'lante, Six Moon Designs, ULA Equipment, Volpi, Waymark, and Zpacks.
The sleeve has two different mesh faces: a cushioned side (for comfort against your back) and a thinner side (for maximum ventilation). Most people position the cushioned side against their back, but it can be used in either orientation.
