"Simplify, simplify" said Henry David Thoreau. 

It's a maxim that has been part of our desing philosophy for 40 years.  When we started developing systems such as TFX and AirZone, we set out to make the most comfortable carrying systems in the market.  But, we were also determined to keep it simple - complexity is the enemy of reliability.  All too often, manufacturers develop complex carrying systems that may work and feel well in a lab setting, but in real world applications they simply won't provide the comfort, reliability and durability that your deserve.
