Tatonka have a great range of carrying systems to go with their durable and economical Larger Packs.

X-lite carrying system

This is a size-adjustable carrying system for movement-intensive use. As the light version of the popular X1 system, crossed X-shaped glassfibre rods efficiently transfer the load from the shoulders to the ergonomically shaped hip strap.
The lightweight gassfibre rods are inside frame channels, and so transfer the load from the shoulders to the hips. A fibreglass rod worked diagonally into the top positioning point of the rods provides lateral stability. The three-part ergonomically shaped hip strap consists of a central lumbar pad with a rubberised insert to prevent the rucksack from slipping, and two conically shaped hip wings . They have several layers of padding and are reinforced with a PE plate. Above that, concave technical back padding ensures the perfect position. Thanks to the TATONKA ladder adjustment system , the shoulder straps can easily be adjusted to the length of the user's back.

V2 Carrying System

Size-adjustable carrying system for medium to heavy loads. Two aluminium bars forming an inverted "V" plus two short fibreglass reinforced bars for additional support form the central static unit:

The two fibreglass reinforced bars lead from the inner aluminium frame channels laterally into the hip wings. The dimensions and arrangement of these reinforced bars result in an excellent combination of efficient load transmission and system flexibility. The three-part ergonomically shaped hip strap consists of a central lumbar pad with a rubberised insert to prevent the rucksack from slipping, and two conically shaped hip wings. They have several layers of comfortable padding, are reinforced with a PE plate, and can easily be tightened and set using a deflected belt strap. The new technical back padding consists of a number of chambers, and is conically shaped to ensure the optimum position and contact with the rucksack. The load control straps can be attached in two different positions for the optimum adjustment. Soft, ergonomically shaped shoulder straps with height adjustment increase the level of comfort. The lid is also height adjustable.
