The Arete Meat Hauler Frame is a brand-new design, built from the ground up. It's lightweight and incredibly strong, designed for carrying loads of up to 50kg and providing unparalleled comfort. The body-mapped curvature of the Meat Hauler and next-gen padding set the Arete up for maximum stability and stamina while hauling a wide variety of weight and bulk.
It incorporates 4 separate aluminium stays to provide contoured strength and stability across the full width of the frame. The XLADDER™ Chassis is a carefully crafted shape that allows the weight to be distributed in a more even manner across the hips, back and shoulders, resulting in increased comfort and increased carrying capacity for the user.
The next-gen dual-density padding marks a new level of weight to support. This amazing new padding hugs the contact points in a more even manner for better weight distribution. This has allowed us to shape both the hip belt and back supports into a more ergonomic shape offering greater support to a wider range of body shapes. This layout includes our Foam Flow™ design which leaves open channels between contact points for fresh air to pass easily over your back and vent out heat and sweat.
The Arete Meat Hauler Frame length is fully customisable for different body lengths. A locking frame height adjustment system means you only have to set it up once for your height, lock it, and it will stay set.
All the tension points across the frame are reinforced for additional strength and all the hardware is Duraflex® made, the industry leader in bomb-proof buckles and ladder locks (webbing and strap adjusters).
Finally, the integrated meat shelf has been carefully crafted to place heavy meat loads in the optimal position. This locks the weight snugly to the frame body and close to your spine for an energy-efficient, comfortable, and safer pack out.
The core of the Arete pack system, the Arete Meat Hauler Frame is a piece of premium design and engineering built to make the uncomfortable task of carrying weight and bulk over long distances, the best experience it can be.
Great product, really helpful for carrying anything, mixed with the 45L bag and it makes a truely great thing to have when out hunting or trekking. 10/5 stars!
Harvested a Sambar on a recent trip and the system worked perfectly-reduced the strain on my shoulders and made the carry out efficient. Very happy with the strength of the straps and the padding-no carry outs are easy but this was a huge step up from my prior pack. Back legs boned out and back straps in one trip-the rest in a second hike back down the hill. Easy to clean and set up for the next adventure.
Great pack system! I have the 45l config, but currently just running 15KG+ on the frame in the load carrier so I can make sure the pack sits well which it really does. I have issues with my shoulders but even with this weight it is super comfortable.
looking to get the 25L next as might be better suited to day hunts as 45L has so much space that I could easily run a multiday hunt with the 45L.
