Replacement Lycra Back Panel

Replacement Lycra Back Panel - Main image
$14.76 $19.95 In stock

This is a replacement for the Lycra Back Panel that currently ships with all Arc style backpacks. It creates a trampoline with an air gap against the wearer's back. It is also compatible with all older Arc backpacks as a retrofit.

The Lycra mesh is soft and stretchy and feels good on the wearer's back.

We also have our original style Mesh Back Panels which are made with pocket mesh. Some customers prefer the original style mesh because it is more firm, and has better airflow. Either style are interchangeable on all old or new Arc backpacks.

Ava ★★★★★

The air gap design actually works—my back stays cool even on a long hike with a full load, and the trampoline effect keeps the pack off my spine completely. Install took about five minutes on my older frame, and the fit is snug without any sagging. This is exactly what I needed to breathe new life i

Eva B. ★★★★★

The air gap against my back is a game-changer — no more sweaty shirt sticking to me on long hikes. It snapped right into my older pack without any fuss, like it was made for it.

John A. ★★★★★

Swapped out my old worn panel and the air gap makes a huge difference on hot hikes—finally no more sticky back. It snapped right into my older pack without any fuss.
