I started with the Atlas training frame about 3 months ago and I am so glad I purchased it. I’m already at 20kg (44lbs) and 6 miles. The frame is completely adjustable and sits almost as comfortably on me as my Osprey100. The strapping guides the load to my hips and there is no pressure at all on my shoulders. I feel trained in my legs, hip adductors and lower abs after each session.

Great product - does exactly what it “says on the box”. If you need to train for a heavy pack this is the solution. Highly recommend.

Bought this as way to help in my yearly preparation to go from the flatlands to the mountains in the fall. It's exactly what I was looking for. Fits as nice as any of the other high end pack frames I've used and can be loaded with two 45# plates.

As a Flatlander in West Texas that loves to elk hunt in the mountains, I thought I would give this pack a try. I use this pack to train like I hunt. The only thing I can't really reproduce is the elevation. I put a 45lb plate on it and get on the stairmaster for 20 or so minutes, a couple times a week. This pack replicates the fit and wear of my Kuiu pack and puts stress in the same places I usually feel on day two or three of the hunt. The longer I go, the more prepared I'll be this year in the rockies. Train like you fight...you wont be disappointed in this product and if properly used, you'll be ready for long days in the woods and a packout.
