Shoulder Straps or Vest Harness?

By: Six Moon Designs

History

Years ago when Ron Moak founded Six Moon Designs, his first pack incorporated a Vest Harness, he didn't design it so he could run or hike faster. It was designed to allow him to hike comfortably without a lot of pain. A bout of Cancer had made it difficult to hike more than a couple of hours at a time before stopping due to back pain.

Incorporating the Vest Harness in the pack provides significant additional support for the back and spine. By spreading the weight, he was able to walk more upright and longer distances without pain.

If you've found yourself unable to backpack as easily and as long as you once did, you may want to seriously consider the Vest Harness. We make no claims that the Vest Harness is a miracle cure, just that it helped Ron get back to really enjoying backpacking again.

Brian P. ★★★★★

Took this out for a full day hike and barely noticed it was on—the vest-style harness distributes weight so evenly across the chest, no more shoulder digging. The small size hugged my frame without feeling restrictive, and the quick-access pockets were perfect for reaching snacks mid-stride.

Emily ★★★★★

The adjustable sternum strap on this vest harness feels wonderfully secure once you dial it in, and the Small fits my frame like it was made for me. It's genuinely made my daily carry feel lighter and more balanced, even when I'm loaded up for a long hike.

Harper ★★★★★

The sizing guide was spot on—the Large fits snug over my base layer without any bunching, and the vest lets me adjust the strap mid-hike with one hand. Already used it on two long trails and the harness stays put even when the pack is fully loaded.
