NICE FRAME The NICE Frame system provides a radically better carry than even a well- t andwell-packed Mystery Ranch internal rame. A thought ul redesign o the inter acebetween the user and the load led to the idea o building in pre-programmed exto an ultra-stable plat orm like the NICE Frame. It utilizes the same segmented exo the Lumbar Wrap and customized sizing o the Futura Yoke as in most MysteryRanch packs, but pairs them with a unique main rame engineered or unruly loads. The NICE Frame can be used alone as a reighter or with any o our numerous pack-bags, providing the versatility to handle any load situation. The NICE Frame BVS alsoincludes our Bolstered Ventilation and Stability (BVS) System which was created tolock down over your ceramic torso plate with minimum pressure on your shoulderstraps, increasing the packs stability when worn over armor.

34 // MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION
MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTIONAll Mystery Ranch packs in this catalog are made in the U.S. All sewn materials are U.S. made rom the bers up through every stage o production.These packs are ully IR and Berry-compliant.
FabricsOur primary abric is 500 denier Cordura nylon. Tougher than traditional ALICE-style packcloth, 500d Cordura is around hal the weight o 1000dCordura. This can mean a pound lighter pack. 500d Cordura has superior waterproo ng qualities and just plain makes a better pack. 1000d Cordurais a little tougher, but anything that damages 500d Cordura will damage 1000d as well. The di erence in durability comes down to minutes while thedi erence in weight is double. The bottoms o all o our packs are double layered. The inner layer is stitched 1/2 smaller than the outer layer which places the bulk o the loadsweight on that inner layer, leaving the outer unstressed to maximize the materials waterproo and abrasion resistance qualities. Where theres a need to sti en the packbag itsel we use X-Pac. X-Pac is a laminate that sandwiches thick strands o polyester between an inner andouter abric layer. These strands sti en the abric, giving the bag additional structure and load control properties. All pack shrouds are built out o coated and water resistant 200d nylon which is tougher than most tent foors, yet fexible enough to seal tightly.
All military abrics are IR-compliant and double-coated: one side with a polyurethane coating, the other side with a Tefon treatment or excellent wa-ter resistance. For places that require stretchy and/or compressive material we use Spandura, a hi-tech abric that combines the toughness o Cordura with thestretch o Lycra. Made o Cordura bers spun around a Lycra core, it provides a level o abrasion resistance never be ore approached in a stretch abric. For areas on the packs that experience extreme abrasion, we use Hypalon. Hypalon is traditionally what the toughest whitewater ra ts are built rom. Our Coyote and Foliage Cordura cloths are solution-dyed, i.e. the ber is colored be ore it is woven. This imparts an inherent IR masking that piece-dyed abrics lack. All web and buckles are also IR-compliant. Our Multicam packs come with matching woven webbing and are built to meet IRrequirements.

Thermoplastics, Alloys and CompositesFiber orge, a thermoplastics company weve partnered with, builds our Framesheet Adjust-ers. These adjusters are a thermoplastic composite material created by using berglass withrecycled pop bottles. Per pound the resulting material is lighter than aluminum and sti er thansteel. We have several versatile aircra t alloys to choose rom when using aluminum in our raming.These alloys are strong, light, and bendable, yet retain their shape once ormed to our specs.Carbon ber is the key ingredient in the NICE Frame. Carbon ber is incredibly strong, impres-sively light, and remains fexible under massive loads.
FoamsWith attention to memory and durability, each oam we use is chosen or appropriate rmness,breathability, and cushioning.
Parts and AccessoriesAll main zippers are YKK #10 and all lid and pocket zippers are YKK #8. All zipper sliders areBlack Oxide plated, which produces a ar more durable zipper than painted sliders. All grom-mets or drawcords are Black Oxide plated and mounted in a 500d Cordura rein orcement. All
web is mil-spec nylon, and all plastic buckles are tough Delrin made by National Molding. Forserious lashing and compression options we use the National Molding Autolock buckles.
