About BackCare:

Approximately 80% of us will experience pain or stiffness in the lower back sometime in our lives. There are many reasons why this may occur but having a poorly designed, packed or fitted backpack can lead to real problems.
 

Back in 2004 EPE started working with COCA, the Chiropractic and Osteopathic College of Australasia, to develop a better backpack harness that can take the load and support the spine better for long periods and hiking.

After more than 12 months of development the SAS Academic ® was created and is now being used on selected high performance packs from EPE. We are proud to launch BackCare™, our trust mark that guarantees any pack that carries the logo has been evaluated and endorsed by COCA.
