A shoulder harness for a backpack having a back panel, a carry bag attached to the back panel, and a pair of S-shaped elongated shoulder pads formed of a polyfoam pad molded to a cover of stretch material and backed with a fabric cover of Velcro loop material. A load control panel is sewed to one end of each shoulder pad and includes one surface of Velcro hook material which engages the loop material on the shoulder pads. A pair of load stabilizing straps are secured at several places to the load control panels and attached to stress members at the lower end of said back panel and to buckles at the top end of the back panel. A sternum strap is fastened to each of the stabilizing straps and may be adjusted to one of several levels as chosen by the wearer.
