Jensen Physics

Clever compartmentalization gives the pack its characteristic shape as it is filled. The vertical partition in the center of the pack achieves three major functions in the design:

1. It creates the "S" curve which fits so comfortably against the wearer's back, important for proper weight distribution and maneuverability.

2. It gives the pack its slim profile, minimizing the distortion of your center of gravity.

3. It forms two vertical columns which transfer their weight to the lower part of the pack. These columns terminate at a horizontal tube, which wraps around and rests on your hips.

A belt extending from the ends of the horizontal tube distributes the weight smoothly around the hips. Above the two vertical columns is a large undivided area that keeps weight as closely over the shoulders as possible.
