backpacking & hiking

Most backpackers and hikers love everything about the outdoor experience – except carrying a heavy backpack.  Muscle soreness in the shoulders and lower back can put a damper on an otherwise great day of hiking.  But it doesn’t have to be that way.

By moving some of the carried weight to the front of your body, the revolutionary syncpack frontpack balances your load and empowers you to backpack farther and faster than you thought you could.

The syncpack system:

  • Improves balance and posture for better endurance and comfort.  With your center of gravity restored to its natural position and your upper body in a natural, relaxed, and upright posture, your endurance and comfort are dramatically improved.
  • Eliminates the backward pull on your shoulders, so you don't have to lean forward to counterbalance your backpack. Read more about syncpack biomechanical details.
  • Provides unrestricted freedom of movement.  The patent-pending syncpack frame articulates dynamically to match your movements without any interference.  Read more about syncpack freedom of movement and adjustability.
  • Makes a heavy load feel dramatically lighter and more comfortable.  Read more about syncpack balance & comfort.
  • Get more use and enjoyment out of your favorite trail items.  Have a snack, drink from a water bottle, and use your camera, map, GPS, and other frequently used equipment – all without stopping to take off your backpack. The syncpack pack bag is specially designed for front carry and access to your gear while on-the-move. Read more about the syncpack pack bag specifications.

You can try the syncpack system risk-free with our money-back guarantee.

The syncpack system makes a great gift for the backpacker who has “everything.”  Give the gift of balance & comfort.

Here is what one syncpack backpacker had to say: "Thank you so much for the quick delivery of my syncpack. . . I used it every day for 33 days, walking on the 500-mile long Camino Santiago in Spain. Quite a lot of people were curious and asked me about it and how it worked. I never had any shoulder or hip pain from carrying my backpack. I think that was because of the syncpack reducing the strain. Thanks again!"

Here are some other advantages of syncpack for backpackers.

  • Use a smaller and lighter backpack.  With the added capacity of the syncpack and its remarkable balancing of forces, your backpack doesn’t have to be as large or as burly.  Leave the syncpack system in camp and enjoy a smaller backpack when you make the summit assault or take a day hike.
  • Carry the same amount of gear you normally carry, but feel better at the end of the day.  You will be amazed at the difference it makes to put your load in balance. Have fun backpacking without suffering. Read the biomechanical details for more information.
  • Or, carry more gear without sacrificing comfort.  We are all trying to travel fast and light these days, and there is some cool ultralight gear these days. However, backpacking with only the bare essentials is not everyone’s cup of tea.  So bring that favorite piece of gear or luxury item you really want to have, and don’t sweat the extra weight. Go ahead and volunteer to be the trip Sherpa, and carry some extra gear for friends or family.
  • Extend your capabilities and make the thru-hike.  Get out there and take that thru-hiking trip you have been dreaming of! By making it easier to backback, the syncpack will expand your comfort zone. You will be able to go farther than you thought you could. Empower yourself with the syncpack and take on the Appalachian Trail (AT), Continental Divide Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, or any other long distance backpacking trip.
