Hunters Element Arete Frame Black OS

SKU
99297746
The Arete pack frame is a brand-new design, built from the ground up. The frame is lightweight and incredibly strong, designed for carrying loads of up to 50kg and providing unparalleled comfort. The body-mapped curvature of the frame 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 aluminum 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 distribute in a more even manner across the hips, back and shoulders, resulting in increased comfort and increased carrying capacity for the user.  Read More

We do not ship internationally, however our Taranaki store sometimes ships overseas. They can be reached via taranaki.store@huntingandfishing.co.nz or by phone on:06 757 2255. For the majority of orders, we have a $7.50 flat rate shipping fee, $10.00 for rural addresses. For bulky items, additional fees may apply.

Should we be unable to ship to a PO Box we will contact you for an alternative address.
  • Dispatch

    In most circumstances, your order will be dispatched from the store closest to the delivery address you supply us. This means we can keep freight to a minimum and send items up to about 25kgs. Most courier companies charge based on weight or size, generally what is bigger. If we have to send your order from another store, we’ll pay any additional freight cost. If you’re ordering more than 1 item and the combined weight (or size equivalent) is more than 25kgs we reserve the right to charge additional freight. From time to time we might offer freight specials or even free freight. These offers will also be based on 25kgs.

Product Details

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 Flowâ„¢ 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 Frame length is fully customizable 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 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.
