Balance your body and move with less strain

This mid-volume lightweight framed Balance Backpack is a master of body movement, stability, and instant gear access. The Multi-Balance, oversized shoulder strap pockets allow you to distribute the load across your entire body. The pockets are great for carrying all of your tech and battery banks, easy-to-reach layers such as gloves or a rain jacket, snacks, water filtration, a camera, a cooking kit, toiletries, and so much more! This leaves your hips less restricted and your center of gravity the same so you can move with less energy while carrying a large load. It is a superb choice for backpacking thru-hikers and your 3-day hike overnighters who are going light but still want the comfort that a framed pack provides. The pack style is pared back for a minimum weight, appealing to those who want to be naturally balanced and move with less effort and strain.
