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.

Carter W. ★★★★★

Carried a full pack for three days on rocky terrain and completely forgot this was even in the bag, which is exactly what I wanted. The padding held its shape the whole time and didn't slide an inch once it was cinched down.

Samuel ★★★★★

The pad stays perfectly in place even during steep climbs, which I was worried about. After a full day on the Appalachian Trail my lower back feels noticeably better than usual. Well worth the price for that simple relief.

Hazel T. ★★★★★

Took this on a few overnight hikes and my lower back felt noticeably better at the end of the day compared to carrying a pack without it. The padding stays in place even when I'm scrambling over rocks.
