Looking for a comfortable day pack? Check out the RIBZ front pack. Designed by a former Navy SEAL, the RIBZ pack can be used as a counterweight for a traditional backpack, as a day pack or even as a fly-fishing vest. Made of rip stop nylon, the pack has large, roomy compartments and will comfortably carry up to 10 pounds. The nylon webbing is easy to adjust and comfortable to wear. Pockets are accessible and have large zippers for easy opening. If there is a drawback to RIBZ, it is too bulky to wear beneath your outer layer, which precluded my use of it for deer hunting where hunter orange clothing is required.
