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 Nero Backpack.

  • Constructed with comfortable 3D Mesh against your back, Ultra 100 fabric against the existing belt, and 3/8" closed cell foam in the middle.

  • The pad slides on or off your existing belt and is held in place by two bands on the back. It is also tied in place at the bottom center so that it can't ride up or down.

  • Sized to fit our 4” (10 cm) tall padded belts. It will also fit all older Zpacks padded belts and may fit similar sized belts on other backpacks.

  • This reduces the circumference of your padded belt by about an inch.

  • This option can be added later if you find you want it in the future.

  • All Zpacks gear has a two year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Please see our return / warranty policy.

  • Made in the USA.

Dimensions: 11.5" wide by 4" tall (29 cm x 10 xm x 1 cm) with 3/8" closed cell foam and 3D mesh padding.

3.3oz/sqyd Ultra 100

Our Repair Tape and Adhesive products stick extremely well to the interior of this fabric.

Lumbar pad

This little bit of extra padding was a life saver for me! It made my arc haul pack the most perfect pack for me.

Lumbar Pads are a must-have item

It has a good waist fit and holds the load of the backpack well. It relatively reduces the burden of shoulder load and also catches the shaking of the backpack. It must be a basic mounting item.
