Squeaky Pack!

monstermuleyman · Sep 4, 2012

I bought the Horn Hunter full curl pack system last year and absolutely love it... Except I can't get the internal frame to stop squeaking! Anyone have experience with this? How do I get it to stop? I thought about calling the HH and seeing what they recommend.

Hmmmm... I have had my Full Curl for 2 years now and it has never squeaked. I would call them and see what they say. They are great to work with. I know many people who have this pack and haven't heard any complaints of it being squeaky. Hope it's nothing major.

There are 2 plactic caps on the bottom of the frame where it slides into the hip belt. Pull those off and wrap it in athletic tape. That fixed the squeak coming from mine.

I talked to my buddy that has a Full Curl and he said his was squeaking. He called Horn Hunter and they gave him a fleece sleeve to go around the frame, that solved the problem. Not sure if the frame will be sleeved on all new packs, but it sounds like Horn Hunter knows about the problem and is offering a free fix for people who are having it.

I've had a similar problem on internal frame packs. Wrapping the frame with cloth medical tape did the trick. Getting the frames out and back in can be a real trick though on some packs...

Mole skin works the best and you should already carry some for blister repair.

Update-I called HH and explained the problem. They were great to work with. As mentioned, they sent me a fleece cover for the internal frame. Before putting it on, I wrapped the ends with Atape and BAM - No squeak! Thanks for all that posted up!
