This is one of those items that goes unnoticed when working properly. After a couple of long trail days I am happy to report it works as advertised. It’s worth the money. The thing I like most about it is it’s thick enough to shine under heavy load while remaining thin enough to go unnoticed on a light carry. It adds versatility to an already great pack. I don’t have any thoughts on how this could be improved currently.

Our Arc backpacks include a full-wrap padded belt. If you need a little extra padding in the lumbar area our detachable lumbar pad can double up the existing padding. The lumbar pad slides on and off the Arc belt as needed.

These are NOT compatible with our frameless backpacks.

Ellie G. ★★★★★

I've been using this pad on multi-hour hikes and my lower back feels way less fatigued at the end. The padding stays firmly in place even with a heavy pack, which surprised me.

Charlotte N. ★★★★★

My old pack's frame always dug into my lower back, but this pad spreads the load evenly across my hips on rocky climbs. It's slim enough to tuck into the hydration sleeve without adding bulk, and stays put even after a full day of scrambling.

Eva ★★★★★

Was skeptical at first but after a 12-mile hike with a heavy pack my lower back felt way less fatigued than usual. The support is subtle but noticeable.
