Abstract
Disclosed are backpack and carrier assemblies adapted to be worn by and partially supported or stabilized by the upper torso of the user. A pivotal coupling is provided with the backpack portion at or above the center of the gravity of the backpack so that the backpack is free to swing from side to side behind the hips of the user and to swing about the coupling. Low friction blocks, pads, rollers or surface are provided near the lower extremity of the backpack and between the backpack and the hip and pelvic region of the user in order to reduce frictional forces and facilitate the side-to-side movement.
