The SLIM™ (Super Light Improved Modular) Frame by FullTang Tactical is the ultimate hybrid load-carriage platform. At only 20" tall, 12" wide, and less than 1/2" thick, this frame gives you the ability to go from day hike/assault pack, to rucksack mode, to heavy-load extraction without extra bulk or height interference.
As a lightweight, compact, load-bearing frame for a variety of packs, such as our Ranger Ruck, its chassis is built with a combination of 3 horizontal carbon fiber stays and and 3 vertical 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum stays which make the frame extremely strong and light, yet flexible so it moves with you. Coming in right at 4 lbs., the entire system, including the harness and hip belt, is nearly 1 pound lighter than its nearest competitor without sacrificing comfort or durability.
Covered with a slick laser-cut PALS/MOLLE packboard on the front and the ability to attach a load sling/beavertail, this frame is as modular as it can get - allowing the user to carry equipment between the pack bag and frame, or use the frame independently for strapping down awkward loads.
We have designed one of the best harness systems found on a pack, the EASY™ (Ergonomic Advanced Shoulder Yoke) Harness. Our yoke system uses proprietary hardware to easily slide the shoulder straps up and down for adjustment, then stick back to the frame with hook and loop. The physics of the hardware attachment method keeps the straps secured under heavy loads and creates the simplest yoke adjustment system on the market to date.
The hip belt and shoulder harness can also be removed and used as a complete load-bearing belt kit that also attaches to our chest rigs.
Our SLIM Frame can transform from a compact assault/day pack sized carriage system, to a load-hauling ruck setup in seconds which is especially useful for hunters who need something low profile going in, but more capable coming out. Carry a smaller bag or the HOSS Load Panel in your ruck bag and swap it out when you get to basecamp for a more compact pack.
For military operations, the frame is great for attaching Carl-Gustaf rounds, sniper rifles, radios, medic packs, jerry cans, and other equipment.
