Kifaru - ARK Frame

With thousands of miles and hundreds of animals on our frames, we have rolled 30+ years of experience in the backcountry into our new ARK Frame. The ARK Frame is made with the best possible materials for the application. We use Carbon Fiber, high density nitrogen enriched foams, and laser cut reinforced MOLLE to solve a lot of the problems our past offerings experienced. Made in two sizes, the 25” and 22” will accommodate all torsos and expeditions. The ARK Frame is compatible with most of our legacy Duplex packs and the all-new Loop Lock strap attachment system will make strapping quarters and other awkwardly shaped items much easier. The key to all-day comfort on the mountain starts with a properly fitted backpack. To find the right waist size and frame height for your pack, take your measurements and reference the sizing chart below. WAIST BELT SIZES Extra Small: 22" - 27" Small: 28" - 34" Medium: 35" - 39" Large: 40" - 46" FRAME SIZE RECOMMENDATIONS 22" FRAME Recommended for people under 5'8". Ideal for military personnel, fitness rucking, compact loads, and whitetail hunters. 25" FRAME Recommended for most people 5'8" and taller. Provides the most load-lifting capability, making it ideal for carrying heavy packs on extended backcountry hunts. The added height helps distribute weight efficiently, making it a top choice for western big game hunters hauling meat and gear over rugged terrain.
