Abstract
A wearable weight support that transfers the weight of heavy garments that rely on shoulder support, off of the shoulders to the hips of the user. The device provides additional posterior radiation protection to the wearer as the back support can be made from radio-opaque materials. The device also provides lumbar support and results in less body heat containment through natural venting. The device is easily adjustable to any body type and allows the wearer to move more freely in their work environment. The invention can be used to transfer the weight of a backpack or other systems which rely on shoulder support to function.
