How to assemble Tianshan backpack

3FULGEAR, December 2024

This is a pack designed for all our expeditions in 2024-2025, and although we’ve equipped it with a strong hipbelt and aluminium frame, it’s still very lightweight.

All parts of the Tianshan Backpack can be disassembled, and you will receive a Tianshan Backpack disassembled into parts, which reduces the shipping cost by $30, so you can get this backpack at a great price.

The entire assembly process takes 5-10 minutes.

We use the Tianshan Ultra as an example to show how to assemble the backpack, the same applies to other versions.

WHAT YOU GET IN BOX:

A: Backpack Main Body

B: Hipbelt

C: Shoulder Straps

D: Waist Pad

E: Frame

F: Balance Band

G: UHMWPE Cord(Option 1 for backpanel)

H: Mesh Backpanel(Option 2 for backpanel)

STEPS:

1.Assemble the top half of the frame(E) and insert it into the section indicated by the arrows on both sides in the middle of the pack.

2. Assemble the lower part of the frame(E) and insert it into the black cloth tube hipbelt(B) as instructed.

3. Insert the frame tightly.

4. Assemble the upper and lower parts of the frame.

5. Tuck the top part of the frame inside the cloth.

6. With a little force, push the top of the frame to the very top.

7. Tuck one of the bottom corners of the frame into the triangle of cloth. This takes a little bit of strength. Handle the other side in the same way. The frame is secured, but this does not mean that the frame will not fall off and will need to be further secured with cord(G) or mesh backpanel(H).

8. Installation of waist pads (D)

9.Two backing options are available, UHMWPE is lighter and more reliable and mesh backing is more traditional.

VERY IMPORTANT: The cord must be tightened or the aluminium frame may fall off.

10. Press the Velcro of the hipbelt and the Velcro of the waist pad together.

11. Measure the length of the torso and select the corresponding height to install the shoulder straps.

12. To install the shoulder straps, run the cord through the plastic fastener (if the positions overlap)

13. Install the plastic fasteners under the shoulder straps as shown.

14. Installation of balancing straps.

15. To further secure the hipbelt, the black webbing on both sides of the hipbelt needs to be attached to the body of the bag, please link the webbing and plastic fasteners as shown.

The installation is complete and you can now use the Tianshan backpack.
