Abstract
A back pack or fanny pack using a hip belt to secure the pack to a wearer's waist. This pack includes a padded lumbar pad positioned vertically along the lumbar region of a wearer's spine. The lumbar pad, which is constructed of flexible padding, is secured to the pack at an upper and lower surface of the lumbar pad. A padded hip belt is positioned between the lumbar pad and the pack. The hip belt is used to anchor a pair of straps, each connected to one end of a stay secured to the pack. The stay is positioned between the lumbar pad and the pack and extends across the wearer's back substantially parallel with the hip pad. When the straps are pulled taut about the body of a wearer, the stay is forced into the wearer's back causing the lumbar pad to be pressed into the lumbar region of the wearer to concentrate the weight of the pack at the lumbar region of the wearer.
