An exoskeletal carriage to be worn on the human body to support and to carry objects attached thereto, said carriage comprising: a belt at least partially to encircle the waist of a wearer, said belt being flexible and conformable to said waist, and adapted to be tight enough as not to slip downwardly appreciably under the vertical loads intended to be applied to it; a front blade-like columnar member and a rear blade-like columnar member adapted to be placed to the front and to the rear of the wearer, above the waist; attachment means attaching said columnar members to said belt so that they are supported by said belt; each said columnar member comprising a blade like structure having a substantial area with a substantial vertical and horizontal dimension, and with a dimension of thickness and physical properties which render the member at least stiffly flexible, both of said columnar members; when on the body having a channel shape along at least a portion of their vertical dimension; and both of said columnar members covering substantial areas of the front and rear portions of the upper torso extending to each side of the torso of the wearer; whereby when attached to the belt and weighted downwardly by objects supported by it, the members behave as a columnar support with no more than minimal columnar bending; and connector means joining said front and back columnar members at a location above said belt to resist their separation, whereby articles may be mounted to said columnar members for carriage by the wearer and be principally supported by said belt.
