What is a "Balance Pack"?

and....

Why Choose Aarn Packs?

If you want to reduce the stress and strain of load carrying, use an Aarn pack. Your Aarn pack is light weight and properly balanced. It fits the way it’s supposed to. It doesn’t hurt.

Now, if you’re into all the physics of how Aarn packs reduce your discomfort, explore our naturally balanced, body friendly and science pages. But, more important, read the testimonials from folks who have actually stuffed huge amounts of weight into their Aarn packs and trekked for hours in all kinds of terrain and weather, and ended the day free of the agony that they experienced with other packs.

If you need help making up your mind which Aarn pack is right for your outdoor adventures, read the Which Model? page. Then, if you’re still undecided, or are just in a hurry and can’t be bothered with all the reading, give me a call: 801-971-0007.
