When it comes to comfort, this pack is designed to truly deliver.

Featuring a free-movement harness system, a fully customizable fit, and an integrated balance-focused carrying design, the Aarn Featherlite Freedom offers a highly supportive and comfortable experience. Discomfort in the shoulders and back can become a thing of the past, even on longer trails. It’s the kind of pack you’ll actually look forward to putting on.

Included Balance Pockets Sport provide quick access to essential gear while improving agility and carrying efficiency. By helping to counterbalance the load on your back, they can make heavier loads feel significantly lighter and more evenly distributed.

Aarn Packs was born in Aotearoa New Zealand, Mother Nature’s playground, where spending time in the mountains and on the trails is a way of life.

The founders Aarn and Devi Tate set out to challenge traditional back pack design thinking. They spent years researching, innovating, and developing new design principles to create a pack that didn’t alter posture, balance and movement.

Aarn Packs continues to be an industry leader in the outdoor adventure scene. We’re proud to have received accolades and awards from DuPont, Trail Kauftipp, Editors Choice at Outdoor, Outdoor Gold Winner, Gear Guide Innovation Awards, and ISPO Brand New Award.
