>>1975190>What does that mean? As opposed to what?A lot of internal frames just have the sheet sewn into the belt. That can work but the HPG rests inside a pockect in the belt.
>How is this unique? I'm not aware of anyone else using it. Ya if you just look at it looks like a simple load strap but it's actually a pully that better distributes weight off your shoulder to the belt evenly. Try it out yourself it works very well.
>>1975195HPG says more and I can confirm. An external frame isn't magic. It's just easier to design for the weight to go to the belt as you mention with the center of gravity.
>>1975197I don't work for HPG so I'm not sure what the correct term is. I've read it called a lifter or a pulley on their forums.
