Skills and Augments are baugth and upgraded with DCP points you earn from the XP gained. I.e. you can buy the augment Sinew for DCP points when you and/or your pawn are rank 5 Fighter/s. There are also buffs on BBI armor that either "slightly increase carrying capability" or that "increases carrying capability". These stack with Sinew. Trophy Boots and Bitterblack Armor Lv.3 leg armor have these buffs.

Then there is the Strider augment Leg-Strength (rank 9), which makes you one rank lighter - when you carry a weight that you are "light", your movement is like if you were "very light", when you're carrying weight that makes you "average" you move like you are light etc. Using Dreamwing Nostrum has the same effect.
