The Flex Pack is a dry bag hauling system, also referred as a 'multipack'. The separation of drybag and harness makes it flexible, reliably waterproof (in contrast to classic back packs) and reasonable (for the time the drybag has worn out, the Flex Pack allows you to exchange just the bag for reasonable costs, rather than being forced into buying an entirely new pack).
Configuration
The Six Moon Flex Pack can be chosen with different (40/50/60l) or your own (without) dry bag. The included bags all feature a compression valve and are made of sturdy but light PU nylon. The removable straps on the bottom of the backpack also allows the use of two elongated packbags (e.g. ISS bags) in the carrying system, which makes the Sixmoon Flex PR an ideal addition to a packraft with ISS system. Next to the bag other equipment can be stored separately, in particular a packraft with paddle, life jacket or helmet. The system offers various expansion options. You will find the Flex Pack capable of carrying heavy gear while storing away compactly and waterproof (including the harness) once back on the water.
The harness of the pack corresponds to that of the Six Moon Fusion 65 and is thus one of the lightest and structurally most stable harness on the market! It is capable of comfortably carrying significantly more weight than any pack of a similar weight. The advanced structure easily transfers weight to hips, even under significant loads.
Application
Ideal for various adventure sports inluding:
- Packrafting
- Canyoning
- Winter trips/ski and snow shoe touring
- Boating trips with lots of portages, approach hikes etc.
- Trekking in humid, wet environments like rain forests
- Fishing and hunting
Sizing
The Flex Pack features a unique suspension system that allows free shoulder strap positioning, thus there is no actual (torso) sizing needed. All parts are completely removable.
Torso: universal (adjustable), from 38 - 56 cm length
Hip belt:
Our Flight Hip Belt is constructed from 1/8" thick 3D Mesh. This soft, foam mesh is filled with holes to allow moisture to pass through. While this belt will provide some load transfer. It is recommended primarily for stabilizing the pack while trail running.
The Standard Hip Belt is constructed from multiple layers to provide both comfort and load support. The inner layer is a soft 1/8" thick 3D mesh. It is backed by a stiffer 3/8" thick foam core. To provide the structural rigidity necessary for load transfers, we added a rigid plastic sheet. This allows the pack weight to be distributed down and outward around your hips.
There is a cut out in the plastic at each end of the hip belt. When this is combined with our unique buckle, the hip belt can articulate and wrap around your hip bone. The unique 4 point buckle system allows you to lock the angle of the hip belt for a more comfortable and secure fit.
This Hip Belt is good for carrying weights comfortably from 30 pounds to well above.
