Glossary: X

X-bungee - Rucksacks

The x-bungee is simply a hard-wearing elasticated string crossed over in an x-shape (which is sometimes repeated). This is often seen on the front of packs for convenient storage of a hat, gloves or map.

X-frame - The North Face

North Face x-frame rucsack

Lightweight carbon frame suspension mirrors the rotational movement of the body as it moves - allowing walkers and hikers to carry heavy loads in their rucksack in harmony with their body.

 

X-Frame II Suspension - The North Face

Founded on the geometry of original 'X-Frame' by The North Face, two lightweight carbon fiber stays (40% lighter and less susceptible to breakdown than aluminum) provide structure and load support to comfortably carry heavy loads. Stays are contoured to trace the shape of the back and direct loads to the hipbelt.
