FROM BACKPACK TO LIGHTWEIGHT PACK TO FLOWMO BODYPACK

FlowMo    

*A pack which flows with body movement.

Bodypack

*A pack which balances the load in front and behind.                                                         
*A pack which fits your body perfectly.

FlowMo Bodypacks are the most comfortable way to carry a load on the human body. We have used a systems approach to address the biomechanical principles that determine the comfort of carrying a load. Seven patents were needed to create a new load-carrying paradigm. No longer just a backpack, our system is better described as a " FlowMo Bodypack". FlowMo Bodypacks disturb the body as little as possible under load. This results in:

          ULTIMATE BALANCE

          ULTIMATE AGILITY

          ULTIMATE STABILITY

          ULTIMATE FIT

          PAINLESS MINIMUM EFFORT

          LOAD CARRYING*

In contrast, the biomechanics of a backpack strain the body. Backpacks force a stooped forward posture, they restrict your movement, they imprecisely match your body shape and they alter your balance. The resulting back pain puts most people off carrying all but a small daypack.

Sports science findings and the glowing testimonials from outdoor professionals suggest that the Bodypack Breakthrough makes backpack designs obsolete.

Aarn Design is here to create equipment that works in harmony with the human body, deepening the intimate connections between body, spirit and nature.

Our equipment is designed in Aotearoa-New Zealand using the wild and beautiful Southern Alps as our play and testing ground.
