HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) Frame Sheet

The White Mountain™ Horizon, Trail Blazer, and Lyrebird Premium Performance Daypacks have a frame sheet across the back that is made of a high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a flexible but strong plastic. We then cover a single vertical Internal Stave in 50 mm webbing and stitch this to the HDPE Frame Sheet. Then by bending the single Internal Stave and the entire HDPE frame sheet, we can contour the backpack to suit the individual’s back. This combination of the HDPE Frame Sheet and Internal Stave protects the back and assists in transferring the load to the lower back.

Airflow Mesh

The Airflow Mesh constitutes a major advance in material technology, a three dimensional material that is non-absorbent and highly water-resistant. This Airflow Mesh features honeycombed cells that breath to keep your back cool and as illustrated promotes a continuous airflow to wick moisture from the body.

It is far superior to “Suspended Mesh Harness Systems” that are prone to stretching and then ultimately collapse. “Suspended Mesh Harness Systems” with the weight suspended further from the backpack, will not provide a correct distribution of weight, and fail to provide backpack stability.

For maximum ventilation, White Mountain covers the inside of the Hip Belt, Shoulder Straps, and the Padded Back of all Premium Performance Daypacks, or their AFS Harness System in this Airflow Mesh.

White Mountain™ guarantees you increased levels of cool comfort and performance.
