Shop newer version- Women's IsoForm CMâ„¢ (Custom Moldable) removable hipbelt offers superior load support with dual-density foam for enhanced support and an anatomically contoured shape
- Osprey-certified Custom Molding available in most stores—check your local REI store for a custom hipbelt molding oven
- ErgoPull™ hipbelt closure provides extra leverage in cinching, drawing tension along top and bottom—not through the center—to relieve hipbone pressure
