NICE® Frame Upgrades
1-2 week lead time*
*Please note that your payment method will be charged upon ordering.
The MEAN Pad is a lightweight NICE Frame accessory that provides a better fit for users who prefer a more shapely lumbar region. It also allows the frame to lock onto the lower back of a user wearing body armor by bridging the gap formed between the rear SAPI plate and the lumbar portion of the frame. Non-slip fabric on the face helps the frame remain tight on the hips, while adjustable pad thickness provides an ideal fit for all users. The same high-grade, slip-resistant polypropylene webbing found on our Gen II Load Lifter Panel is used to ensure the MEAN Pad remains tight to the NICE Frame.
The hunting model attaches via two ladderlock buckles designed to provide a semi-permanent attachment to the NICE Frame. It is not intended to be removed quickly.
The military model includes two 3/4" side release buckles that allow it to be attached and removed quickly to accommodate frame usage with and without body armor. This model perfectly complements a NICE Frame featuring the removable Bolstered Ventilation and Stability (BVS) system.

Conventional hipbelts can be a pain to tighten, especially on a heavy pack or while wearing body armor. The Belt Guide changes the direction your pack’s hipbelt tightens, allowing both sides of the belt to be cinched simultaneously with a forward motion, the way your arms actually work. This simple accessory attaches in seconds to the 2” tri-glide buckle on many Mystery Ranch and Dana Design hipbelts. Simply slide the Belt Guide through the tri-glide buckle and route your hipbelt’s webbing through the plastic loop for a drastically improved tightening experience.
