KIDS EXPLORER 15

Sternum strap sits right where it should and the S-shaped harness doesn’t dig into my daughter’s neck, even on a climb. The reflective trim is a nice touch when we’re heading back at dusk.

My kid hiked a full 4-mile loop without complaining about shoulder soreness once, and that SOFTNECK S-shape harness is clearly the reason. The reflective details are a nice bonus for the darker afternoons, too.

The sternum strap actually stays put even when my kid squirms around on the trail, and the S-shape harness means no more complaints about sore shoulders. The reflective bits are a nice safety bonus for those late-afternoon hikes. We’ve used it every weekend for a month and it still looks brand new.
