Equipment that enables people to carry substantial pack loads have the problems that the body is under load from the shoulders down and packs bearing against the body prevent evaporation of perspiration which generates discomfort and fatigue. An eccentric backpack load exacerbates these problems. The subject invention is a wearable harness that transfers pack loads directly to the person's hips, bypassing the shoulders and upper body. An over-the -shoulder, inverted "U" beam structure has attachment points for back and front packs and maintains a ventilation space beneath both. Balanced front and back packs can eliminate load eccentricity. Each beam is supported at the bottom (front and back) by a wide belt that goes over the hip. The harness is kept in place circumferentially at the waist by an ordinary belt around the waist. A distinctive hip is a significant advantage; therefore, the invention is applicable mostly to women. Packs having lateral strength and stiffness bridge across the "U" beam structure leaving a ventilation path between the pack(s) and the body to allow body cooling.
