syncpack frontpack systems balance - comfort - accessibility

A family backpacking outing can be a great joy, but can also be a great challenge. 

Different family members may have widely differing physical abilities.  Most children have very limited load-carrying abilities and endurance, so Mom and Dad end up carrying extra-heavy loads. 

Different family members may also have different interests and attention spans.  Some children have even been known to get bored in the outdoors!

The syncpack frontpack system enhances the family backpacking experience by making it easier for everyone to carry their share of the load and to keep their favorite trail accessories close at hand.

Give the kids their own gear to carry! Backpacks are challenging for kids with shorter torsos. The syncpack alleviates the backward pull of a backpack!

WARNING:  The syncpack system is not intended to carry children or animals, due to the risk of accidentally dropping the frontpack or falling on it, causing injury or death.

The syncpack is intended to be used in conjunction with a child carrier designed for that purpose.

The syncpack system:

  • Mounts on any hip-belted backpack, including youth backpacks.  The syncpack quick-release connectors provide for quick and easy attachment and removal of the frontpack.  The syncpack frame is multi-adjustable to fit all body shape and sizes, including children approximately 5’0” or more in height.
  • Makes a heavy load feel dramatically lighter and more comfortable. The balancing effect of the syncpack system is particularly helpful for people with shorter torsos, like children and many women.  Read about the biomechanical details.
  • Provides on-the-move access to food, water, and frequently used gear.  You don’t need to remove your backpack to have a snack, drink from a water bottle, reach your camera, etc.  Children can help themselves to food and water and can get more use and enjoyment out of their favorite toys, gadgets, books, etc.
