CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA – A new, improved version of the revolutionary TrailFlex™ Modular Pack System will be unveiled at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market, which runs from Aug. 9-12, 2008 in Salt Lake City, Utah, company officials announced.

The 2008 TrailFlex System features an integrated hydration system in the base harness, increased adjustability for better fit, enhanced support structure for more comfortable carrying, and a streamlined new design of the core backpack and waist pack components, according to TrailFlex President Eric Kauss.

“This new version of the TrailFlex Modular Pack System reflects our ongoing commitment to providing our customers with the most adaptable, flexible and personally customizable pack system on the market today,” Kauss said. “We strive to simplify their lives and reduce their impact on the environment by creating one system that is adaptable to many activities. That is the beauty of the TrailFlex System.”

The new version of the TrailFlex System, which has been recognized by such publications as Men’s Journal, Men’s Health and Popular Science magazines as one of the best new products of the year, will be available for delivery in September 2007 for backpackers, fly fishing devotees and other outdoor enthusiasts in a variety of configurations.

Available in light, durable fabrics, the innovative, patent-pending design of the TrailFlex System provides a torso-hugging foundation on which users can attach a wide variety of gear – from binocular cases to cell phone pouches – with comfort, convenience and easy access.

The secret to such incredible flexibility is patent-pending Advanced Modular Technologyâ„¢ (AMTâ„¢) that makes it easy to attach and reconfigure more than 20 custom-tailored gear pouches to the TrailFlex Base Harness.

TrailFlex Systems may be purchased from selected retailers or through the company’s website at www.TrailFlex.com.

The basic TrailFlex System starts with a base harness with hydration pouch that retails for $99.95. The System comes in two torso lengths with adjustable lumbar, shoulder, and sternum straps to ensure a body-hugging fit. From there, customization is limited only by one’s imagination.

Detachable modular gear pouches (sold separately) include backpack ($74.95), waist pack ($29.95), organizer, MP3 player pouch, camera pouch, sunglasses case, energy drink holder, cell phone/radio/GPS holder, knife/flashlight holder, and binocular pouch. Component prices range from $5.95 to $19.95.

Specially priced packages, which include the TrailFlex base harness and a variety of activity-specific components, range in price from $149.95 to $259.95.
