Balance Photo Pockets by Aarn - Carry your camera up front

Photo Balance Pockets - Regular:

Aarn Photo Balance Pockets allow you to carry your camera and photo gear up front for easy access. The pockets are designed to carry an SLR camera body and up to 4 lenses. Each compartment includes a separate waterproof dri-liner.

Aarn Photo Balance Pockets work with most Aarn packs.The Photo Balance Pockets provide a partial counter-balance for the load in the main pack, allowing you to walk with a more upright posture. This results in a more comfortable hike and less physical exhertion. Read more about the Aarn system here.

For shorter trips and day hikes we recommend the Natural Exhilaration or Peak Aspiration. For longer adventures the Guiding Light or Effortless Rhythm.
