Backpacks are great to carry you´re stuff when traveling or hiking, but let´s face it, they are not that practical when you need to quickly access you´re gear. The Ribz Front Pack was designed by backpacking gear experts and provides accessibility to all important items(GPS, map, compass, cell phone, first aid kit…) as quickly as possible from the users chest. Another additional benefit is the weight distribution, the Ribz Front Pack allows you to shift weight forward giving you more comfort and balance. The pack is ideal for backpacking, fishing, hunting and active sports like snowboarding, biking or kayaking.
