Abstract
A system for carrying articles on one's back consists of a load carrier (1) integral with a back part of a carrying harness including a waist strap (3) and shoulder straps fastened to the bottom (9) and to the top of the back part. The system also includes a U-shaped rigid frame fastened to the back part. Preferably, the free ends of the U-shaped frame are retained in a rear face of the waist strap. A pair of spacers having an inverted V-shape interconnect the waist strap and the bottom of the back part and define a ventilation space for the sweat of the wearer. Preferably, the system is designed for an ergonomic backpack.
