Shoulder straps: Flight harness Vest.
The Minimalist V2 is redesigned for even more function.
Six Moon Design has listened to their customers' feedback and made version number 2 even better. The Minimalist V2 is still the perfect size to fit all your gear but now has even better straps but above all bigger and more durable pockets.
Despite being called Minimalist, this backpack has everything you need. The same comfort as the heavier backpacks but both the frame and hip belt are removable so you can scale it down to suit your needs. If you need to fill it with more stuff than usual, the outer pockets allow for a surprising amount of extra space.
The main bag holds 40L and the pockets a total of 9L. This includes the pocket in the top lid, on the sides and the large center pocket.
The pockets are easy to access if you need clothes, snacks or water close at hand.
FRAME-LESS CONFIGURATION
The Minimalist is the only ultra-light, frameless pack on the market with adjustable torso length. This allowsthe Minimalist to provide unrestrained comfort. When configured as frameless , the carrying weight should not exceed 11kg
CARRYING HARNESS
Vest Harness
Vest Harness Six Moon Designs' unique vest harness supports a 6-point connection between the sack and your body. There are several advantages to this system:
1. it locks the pack completely to your body, eliminating swaying or bouncing as you walk or run.
2. instead of the entire weight of the pack resting on your shoulders and hips, the vest harness transfers some of that weight to your core. This reduces and eliminates pressure sores on shoulders and hips.
3. The vest harness comes with extra pockets , providing additional storage options for quick access.
Health benefits of vest harness: Because the vest harness spreads the load-bearing to the center of the back, most hikers find that it reduces back pain. Founder Ron Moak recognized this right from the start. After a cancer treatment , Moak found he could only manage a couple hours of hiking before he needed to stop due to severe back pain. A vest harness redistributed his weight so he could walk more upright. This extra support allowed him to walk longer distances with less pain. That' s why the first backpack he designed incorporated the vest harness. If you haven 't been able to backpack as easily and for as long as you once did, you might want to seriously consider the vest harness. We're not claiming that the vest harness is a miracle cure, but it did help Moak get back to really enjoying backpacking again. And we hope it can help you too.
