The Aarn Natural Balance backpack combines impressive load capacity with a lightweight design, ideal for those who prefer a fast and light approach but need more space than the Featherlite Freedom. Using Expedition Front Balance Pockets enhances stability and encourages an upright posture, reducing fatigue and strain. These pockets feature rain-protective zip flaps, gear clips, and mesh exteriors for easy access. Comfort is ensured with a pelvic form hipbelt, True-fit shoulder straps, and Flow-thru stabilizers. Waterproof Dri-liners and Cord-loc compression safeguard your gear, while adjustable back lengths offer a 15 cm range for optimal load positioning. Crafted from durable nylon in a natural green and grey palette.
Front Balance Pockets let you carry heavy loads comfortably by attaching easily to Aarn backpacks. They convert into a secure daypack with included shoulder and sternum straps, making outdoor adventures simpler. Available in 15 or 18 liters, these pockets improve stability and posture, reducing fatigue. They feature waterproof liners, rain-protective zip flaps, and four mesh pockets with compression cords for organized, easy access.

VIDEO REVIEW
Why It Works
A backpack magnifies the forces acting on your body. Without going into the detailed physics of it, a 16 kilogram load plonked on your back with a traditional backpack could end up exerting a force on your body that feels more like 20-24 kilograms. The Bodypack system however removes all leverages on your back from your pack and brings your posture as close to upright as possible. In doing so most of the load is shifted off your shoulders and spine and transferred evenly around the pelvis.
Expedition Balance Pockets - Come Standard and Included in price
The Expedition Pockets offer ample space to carry heavy loads with ease. Designed to pair with the Natural Balance lightweight daypack from Light Hiking Gear, they feature four mesh exterior pockets and a dedicated map pocket. Equipped with compression straps, these pockets can also convert into a daypack using the included shoulder and sternum straps. Slightly longer by 5 cm, they fit back lengths over 42 cm comfortably. Made from durable 500D Kodura, 210D, 100D x 70D, and 40D ripstop nylon, they come in a natural green and grey color scheme. Easily detachable, these pockets enhance your hiking experience.
