A backpack support device which utilizes interconnected front and back crossing straps and a separate waist strap, the straps providing for a more even distribution of the backpack load. The support device comprises a shaped member and a padded member affixed to the surface of the shaped member in contact with the wearer's back. The shaped member of the support device, shaped to the curvature of a wearer's back, and the interconnection points of the crossing straps and the waist belt over the femur joint enable the load from the backpack to be more evenly distributed along the entire back of the wearer.
