The Zpacks x Vaucluse Ventilation Frame is the easy way to give your frameless pack that “ventilated back panel” feel. Our custom built collab utilizes Vaucluse’s proven airflow frame concept to create a gap between you and the pack, helping to dump heat and eliminate clammy, soaked backs after long, humid climbs on trail.

Our collab version features a universal attachment system that fits our Nero series of frameless backpacks as well as most other backpacks. The four corners of the included sleeve secure to any four points on your backpack and can be adjusted up or down to find the perfect location.

The Zpacks x Vaucluse Ventilation Frame delivers a “moves-with-you” comfort that keeps you cooler, drier, and more comfortable, the reasons why this frame has become a cult favorite on trail.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Aurora ★★★★★

The airflow frame genuinely changes how my frameless pack carries a full load—the gap between my back and the panel keeps me dry on climbs that used to leave me soaked. Sleeve slid into place in under a minute, and the whole setup adds barely any noticeable weight.

Charlotte ★★★★★

I was skeptical about adding a frame to my pack, but the airflow frame here is a game-changer—my back stays noticeably drier on long, sweaty climbs. The fit is surprisingly secure and adds just the right amount of structure without adding much weight.

Jason ★★★★★

My frameless pack finally feels like it has a proper back panel, and the airflow is genuinely noticeable on warm hikes. The sleeve slides in easily and the frame holds its shape without adding much bulk.
