Bring more balance, comfort and easy-access storage to the trail with the Aarn Balance Pockets Sport. Designed for active hikers who want a simple way to improve load distribution, these mid-sized front pockets help share weight between the front of the body, the hip belt and the main pack, reducing the forward lean often created by traditional backpacks.
With 10L or 12L of front storage per pair, they are ideal for keeping heavier or bulkier essentials close at hand, from water and snacks to maps, gloves, camera gear and layers. Included dry liners add extra protection, while exterior mesh pockets keep quick-grab items easy to reach. One pocket can also convert into a compact crossbody day bag with the included sling, making these a clever upgrade for hiking, tramping and travel with compatible Aarn packs.

How Aarn Balance Pockets work:
- Attach the Balance Pocket wireframe to the holsters on the hipbelt. Click it in with the press stud to lock it in place. This will transfer the load onto the hipbelt.
- Clip the small rods at the top of the Balance Pockets into the matching O rings on the Aarn Packs shoulder straps. The O rings will free-slide up or down the shoulder straps, so the shoulders bear no load from the pockets.
- By sharing weight between the front Balance Pockets, hipbelt, and pack, we can reduce or eliminate the leverages on the hips and lower back. The Aarn Balance System works to remedy the forward lean created by standard packs.
