Radical Thinking

A BACKPACK THAT MOVES WITH YOUR BODY, INSTEAD OF AGAINST IT.


Traditional backpacks are constructed with shoulder straps and waist belts designed for a generic body type. The Exodus Fit-Lock™ harness is different — it custom contours to your body. Once adjusted the Fit-Lock harness locks and becomes an integrated structure that distributes load and eliminates painful pressure points. These custom adjustments retain their personalized shape and don't need re-adjustment every time you take the pack off. On-the-fly torso length adjustment optimizes pack geometry for climbing, descending or level travel. Integrated torsional compliance allows the pack to twist with you, not against you, while maintaining the vertical stiffness needed for correct weight distribution.


1. U-BAR™: The proprietary U-Bar links the top of the frame to the shoulder yoke, distributing weight across shoulders and chest. In tandem with the Fit-Lock™ Harness & Waist Belt, this eliminates uncomfortable pressure points so you can carry a substantial amount of weight comfortably.

2. FIT-LOCK HARNESS & WAIST BELT: The Exodus patent pending Fit-Lock Harness conforms, then locks to your body shape to become an integrated structure that distributes load and eliminates painful pressure points. These custom adjustments retain their personalized shape and don’t need re-adjustment every time you take the pack off.

3. TORSO LENGTH ADJUSTMENT: On-the-fly torso length adjustment optimizes pack geometry for climbing, descending or level travel.
4. PIVOTING WAIST BELT: The belt moves with you and maintains load support, while constantly adjusting to posture changes.

5. MINI FRAME™: The Mini Frame combines high vertical stiffness and torsional flexibility for correct distribution of weight.

6. SCANDIUM TUBES: Heat-treated Scandium tubes attach to the frame, transfer load to the waist belt and provide torsional compliance so the pack can move with your body. The Scandium tubes also offer vertical rigidity.

7. TENSION ISOLATION: Exodus focuses tension on the bag, not the harness.

8. CARBON FIBER STABILIZING RODS: The Cruiser™ frame features carbon fiber stabilizing rods to help control load.
