TFX Back System
In 2007 Lowe Alpine introduced the TFX back system, replacing one of the most successful back systems the market has ever seen, Lowe’s renowned APS.
By talking to end-users, sponsored athletes and then getting into the mountains themselves, Lowe's design team managed to improve the original TFX systems by adding better stability, reducing overall harness weight, improving the harness back length adjustability, and adding TorsoFit throughout the range
The TFX backsystem contains the following key features:
TorsoFit:
Lowe Alpine’s legendary TorsoFit system is a simple 100% reliable system for adjusting the back system to the user’s unique body shape, thus ensuring maximum carrying comfort.
TorsoMotion:
The TFX TorsoMotion system will allow the torso to twist and the hipbelt to rotate, thus accommodating the body's natural movement whilst trekking
Supportive AirChannel:
Research has shown that vertical channels can be really effective in cooling the back while carrying heavy loads
AdaptiveFit:
AdaptiveFit is Lowe’s term for harnessess and hipbelts that will automatically adjust to the wearers shape just by tightening them
Rebound foam:
Rebound foam is a very resilient foam which is perfect for extended carrying with heavy weights, and offers great support and comfort.
