Addax Internal Frame

$33.00

Size: Addax 26 Internal Frame

Available Size options

Optional internal frames with an aluminum half-stay designed for the Addax 26/31.

Description

We present for your use these optional, removable internal frames with aluminum half stays for the Addax 26 and Addax 31 roll-top packs.

The Addax 26 and 31 can get pretty big and carry a whole lot! If you're wanting to put some weight from those bags onto your hips instead of your shoulders, using the frame sheet in conjunction with the 1.5" Padded Hip Belt can help save your shoulders some stress.

The frames are made from die-cut 0.55" thick High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), with a nylon webbing sleeve sewn down the center that encases the 1/2" / 13mm wide 6061 aluminum half stay.

Fun fact, the Addax Internal Frames are the same as the Shadow Guide internal frames! We never offered them separately in that bag since it was included by default, but in the Addax we figured a large chunk of folks won't want the frame sheet so it made more sense to us to offer it separately.

We've bent the stay to a generic spinal curve, we recommend you re-bend and/or adjust the curvature to best fit your own back (see here for instructions). If you just want a frame sheet, the stay is removeable, though it's worth noting that a frame sheet sans aluminum stay does just about nada when it comes to shifting the weight of the pack onto ones hips. (Read more about that here in our Guide to Backpack Frames).

The Addax Frame Sheets are pretty simple to install. In the frame sheet slot between the back pad and body of the bag, there are two triangular slots that the frame sheet can slide into. Insert it from the top and seat the Addax into those triangular pieces and you're as good as gold.

    Bought this for another bag and it worked out great. Just wish they would come back in stock so I can purchase another.

    Am Wot I Am

    I like how it secures into the Addax, is supportive enough for the use case, and easy to remove. No one should imagine TB bags are optimized for backcountry treks, so always surprised reviewers use that in their 'con' column, ha-ha.

Sewn in Seattle

Our bags are designed and sewn right here in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.

That allows us to be control freaks in the best way possible; we have direct control and oversight of the quality of our materials, our products, and the jobs and working environment that we help create. It also offers us a unique spontaneity: when we have an idea for a new product or accessory, we can design it, figure out how to build it, add it to our website and be ready to ship it out our front door all within just a few weeks. How cool is that?

Intrigued? You can find out more about the unusual way we do business on our Company Philosophy page.

THE BIHN Guarantee

Everything you buy from us here at TOM BIHN is satisfaction guaranteed. We’ve been in business since 1972 and we stand behind what we make.

If something goes wrong and it's our fault, we'll fix it for free. Repairs due to normal wear and tear or due to other things that are not our fault will be performed, when possible, at a reasonable charge right here in our Seattle factory where your bag was made. Defects in materials or workmanship are uncommon and almost always evident while the product is still new. Keep in mind that bags and packs are often subject to extreme wear in everyday use: do not expect them to last forever. Only true love lasts forever! You can expect a TOM BIHN product to give years and years of hard service.
