A few months back I decided I would start this blog and try to foster a community of people that believe that their collection of hobbies was a passion, and looked for meaning in bringing them full circle. Several weeks into this venture I was approached to review some outdoor products...of course I agreed! The first product was on my doorstep in days and it was the Ribz Front Pack.
I'm not paid to write my blog, nor do I choose at this point to allow advertising on my blog and I promised myself I would be honest in any product review that I posted on my blog, so you can take the following information as the absolute truth (at least from my point of view). I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I have not got to put it to use specifically as it is advertised...but I assure you that I have put it through its paces. A quick fact about me, I'm a full time nursing student, full time nurses aid, full time father of an amazing 19 month old son, and a full time husband...busy is an understatement. The Ribz Front pack was my extra hands under my turkey vest to keep my valuables (keys , camera, phone, water bottle, snacks, etc...) close and secure. And at the zoo Ribz managed to keep me organized enough to leave the diaper bag in the car while giving me the freedom to carry, walk, run, and play with my son without having my pants pockets bulging. I've even gone as far as to wearing it around the house to get a feel for how the product would adjust to various activities and fit over different layering of clothes. Did I say I LOVE THIS PACK yet?
All joking aside, after reading other reviews of this product and researching the company's ideas on what this product is supposed to do, I have come to several of my own conclusions. The idea is that it will help shift weight forward of your center of gravity while wearing a backpack and keep necessities close at hand. The weight shifting idea, well that may be a stretch. I don't believe that the pockets of this pack are large enough to hold enough gear to make a weight shift idea valid, unless you are packing bags of buckshot. but that is what the hip belt on a backpack is for anyway (putting the weight of your pack on your hips and off your back/shoulders). The ability to keep some frequently used items at quick reach is more than enough to make the Ribz Front Pack a wonderful addition to any outdoor enthusiasts gear list. This is a terrifically convenient piece of equipment that alone weighs virtually nothing, it adjusts to fit your body perfectly, and its uses are only limited by the users imagination and desire to organize the products that may need to be at your fingertips. But don't take my word for it, here is the company website, I encourage you to read up and make up your own mind.
