NEWS: Balanced chest pouch



Keeping access to cameras while backpacking has always been a problem with choices varying from chest mountain pouches that bounce around to hip belt mounted pouches that make it difficult to squeeze through cracks when scrambling. The innovative syncpack™ frontpack system could solve all these problems, as it is a chest mountain system that remains stable.



The patent-pending syncpack frame has innovative telescoping members that slide dynamically to match the bending movements of your torso, without compromising stability or weight transfer to the hips. The sliding frame members allow your upper body to move independently of the weight-bearing central frame structure, for complete freedom of movement during the full range of outdoor activities from hiking and skiing to tying your shoes.

The syncpack quick-release connectors strap onto the hip belt and shoulder straps of your backpack so you can attach and remove the frontpack in a "snap". The pouch makes a heavy load feel dramatically lighter and more comfortable as the patent-pending syncpack frame counterbalances the backward pull of your backpack and restores your natural upright body posture. The syncpack system reduces the strain on your shoulders, back, and abdominal muscles so you can go farther, go faster, and feel better at the end of the day. Best of all the system provides on-the-move access to frequently used gear. You don't need to stop and take off your backpack to reach your camera, map, sunscreen, snack, water, etc.



Currently the Sync Pack is only available in the US, but hopefully a UK importer will look into bringing it across the pond.

Nice if you have to carry a large camera, I use a compact and have a small pouch attached to the shoulder strap of my rucksack. Another of the same size on the other side holds my mini binoculars and balances everything out.
Also, only good for walking. No scrambling with THAT system!

To be a good lenient being is to from a philanthropic of openness to the world, an gift to guardianship undeterminable things beyond your own manage, that can front you to be shattered in very extreme circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something remarkably impressive with the condition of the ethical passion: that it is based on a trustworthiness in the fitful and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a shop than like a treasure, something rather dainty, but whose extremely particular handsomeness is inseparable from that fragility.
