Increase airflow

By shifting the backpack slightly off the back, the VentaPak makes your straps approach your shoulders more horizontally, gently tugging them back. This effect, coupled with the mesh pressing into the lower back, improves posture and ergonomics.

VentaPak’s frame and mesh distributes backpack load more evenly across your back, like a high end mesh backed chair. This keeps your backpack from pressing and digging into your arched spine and straining it.

Every hiker knows that carrying a backpack is essential and they also know how tedius it can be. From sweaty backs to sore shoulders, learn about some of the many problems using a backpack whilst hiking introduces and how VentaPak can help you!
Problems with using a backpack for hiking
Using a backpack can have several drawbacks when using them for hiking, here are a few of the most common problems faced when using a backpack:
- Continuous friction from the backpack’s straps or back panel can cause blisters or chafing, particularly during long hikes or in hot, humid conditions.
- Backpacks can trap heat against your back, leading to excessive sweating and discomfort, particularly in warm weather or during strenuous hikes.
- A poorly fitted or overly heavy backpack can cause strain on your back, shoulders, and neck, leading to discomfort and even injury over the course of a long hike.
- It's easy to overpack for a hike, leading to unnecessary weight that can make the hike more exhausting and less enjoyable.
The Solution? - VentaPak
Mark Dingle created the VentaPak with these very problems in mind when he created his ‘backpack spacer’. A lightweight aluminium frame designed to fit standard-size backpacks, this backpack frame creates space between your pack and your back, enabling major airflow and effective ventilation vs. heat and sweat build-up.
VentaPak has you covered, not only does the backpack frame allow your backpack to sit off your back, it’s ergonomic design spreads weight more evenly across your back and shoulders as well as improving posture to reduce long-term impacts.
