Introducing the next generation CX Airframe 2 Carriers — the new industry standard. Built off the legendary performance of Pearl's CX Airframe Carriers, the innovative CX Airframe 2 models feature the same lightweight profile with rugged durability, yet have been reengineered for increased comfortability to suit players of all genders, body shapes, and sizes in the marching arts. CX Airframe 2 Carriers feature reshaped Airframe shoulder and chest sections for improved comfort and maximum range of motion and support for an all-inclusive variety of body styles. Affixed to a lightweight, customizable belly plate and featuring Pearl’s Agility Control System (ACS) Belt and CX mounting hardware, CX Airframe 2 Carriers deliver a highly adjustable and comfortable marching experience wherever performance takes you. "With Pearl’s newly designed CX Airframe 2 Carriers, performers can truly focus on elevating their musical performance and movement agility with exceedingly more ease and comfort. This innovative design targets improved angles and weight distribution to better accommodate a myriad of diverse body styles and gender considerations. And with the option for the frame add-ons when needing more room, Pearl now offers programs more customized equipment to assure performers of all shapes and sizes can thrive on their instrument.” — Julie Davila (WGI Hall of Fame 2014, PAS President Elect, PAS Diversity Alliance)
