Additional shoulder straps can be utilized to lift the object and stabilize and reduce movement of the weight-bearing object about the user. Hip belt members and shoulder pads can have vent slots for ventilation and improved comfort, while being worn in hot weather. Hip belt members and shoulder pads can have heat storage material added to cool the user, while being worn in hot weather.
