Aarn Bodypacks
Aarn Bodypacks are based in Christchurch, New Zealand.
They have developed a unique load carrying system for climbers and trekkers, which places the weight of your gear in a neutral position, with compartments on your back and your front. Rather like native porters have been carrying heavy loads around on their heads with ease, for countless years, Aarn took this idea and applied its design team to come up with a system that has taken eight patents to perfect. The result is the Aarn Bodypack.
This revolutionary method of carrying heavy backpacking gear, results in high levels of comfort for the wearer, previously impossible to attain with the conventional pack, that is worn on the back only.
The packs stay centred on the body as the wearer moves, reducing fatigue on the back, shoulders and neck. The wearer can also access essential gear on the move without the need to stop and remove the pack.
The packs come in a range of sizes and colours from 10L - 90L and are suitable for hiking, climbing, skiing, cycling, marathon running and trekking.
