- Weight and Materials.
Chair-Pak was engineered to be as close to weightlessness as possible when worn on your back with nothing in it. The inventor, also an avid outdoor enthusiast understood more amenities could be packed for longer duration if the design followed this principle. To accomplish this, an engineered high-grade aluminum frame system was developed to be able to withstand the weight of a large 230 LB athlete. This with other backpacking grade components allowed Chair-Pak to achieve its incredible lightweight and rugged strength balance.
