EMP (Ergonomic Movement Panel) is a lightweight, ergonomic back panel. It provides your pack with stability and even loads distribution.

At the same time, the panel ensures freedom of movement (for example, rotational movement in the upper section) so that you can react quickly in demanding terrain.

Your height and the length of your torso are important criteria for the optimal fit of a backpack. F.L.A.S.H. stands for Floating Length-Adjustable Shoulder Harness and it’s a patented system for adjusting the length of your backpack straps. The mechanism offers continuous adjustment for a perfect fit to the length of your torso.

Adjusting the straps correctly

F.L.A.S.H. stands for Floating Length Adjustable Shoulder Harness. With this adjustment mechanism you can easily adjust the length of the backpack straps.

For an optimal fit, the end of the shoulder strap should be just below your chest. Two systems are used to adjust the height of the shoulder strap attachment:

ADJUSTMENT: You can easily and quickly adjust the straps to fit your torso length by using the Velcro strap at the bottom of the suspension system. When you open the velcro fastener, the shoulder strap lock is released (1). Adjust the strap by pulling it out or pushing it in to reach the right length (2). Then reattach the velcro. Size markings on the outside of the velcro strap can help you determine the correct length.

For backpacks with Aeroflex Easy Adjust, the rear-ventilated back can be converted to a full contact back. The ventilation space at the back can be fully adjusted. More distance = optimal ventilation, less distance = better balance because the center of gravity of your pack is closer to your own center of gravity. This makes these packs truly flexible for all kinds of activities.

The VENT-TEX Ultralight suspension system was specifically engineered for road biking and mountain biking and/or day trips with a light load. The back panel was left out in this suspension system in order to reduce weight (without reducing the comfort level). The flexible suspension system follows your every move, whatever your riding position. Mesh padding along the spine ensures a comfortable fit, even on challenging trails. The padding doesn’t absorb moisture and it creates a large ventilation channel to keep air circulating across one’s back.
