Built for Heavy, Modular Loads
-
Rapid Bag Swapping – Quickly interchange rucksacks without removing the frame from your harness system
-
Dual-Load Capability – Carry rifles, tools, meat, or other heavy/bulky items between frame and main pack bag
-
Standalone Load Hauler – Attach the Frontier Resolve M.U.L.E. Carrier or lash gear directly using integrated slots
-
ALICE Revolutionized – External-frame load stability with modern comfort and scalability
Built for the Mission
The Fortitude Frame is precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, contoured to match the human back with just enough flex for a natural gait. Low-profile and rigid, it outperforms issued polymer frames, carrying 250+ lbs without cracking or warping in extreme cold or heat.
At only 1/8" thick, the frame keeps your ruck close to your center of gravity, improving balance over long hauls. Paired with FullTang’s premium pad set, it delivers internal-frame comfort with external-frame hauling capacity.
