I took a gamble & ordered one of these today. I like the idea, and want to see if it interferes with my assault pack. Looking at the video & pics, it doesnt seem like it will-but I am concerned with potential chafing where the straps come in contact with my back & shoulders when I have a pack on. My vision with this is that I can carry essentials in the Ribz pack itself, with clothing/comfort items, and water, in my backpack. I like anything that is a tiered system; carried on the body, then pockets, then ditch gear, then a pack. This certainly fits my "ditch gear", as it is a layer to my system. And, on these cooler new england days, the heat retention may be an added bonus

I don't know why I was censored, but yes It was a SV-2 vest, It only covers the lower part of your body, Not a full vest. there is nothing in the back so you can wear a pack with it.

I've typed it random stuff or misspelled a word and it'll pop up "CENSORED." I would be curious to see what words are on the censor list. Could make for an interesting [CENSORED] story.

Well, I took a leap and ordered one. Ray says it'll be the first one in Malaysia! We'll see how it works when the temp and humidity hits the high 90s. Looking forward to it.

The Ribz system looks like it would interfere with the waist / hip support systems of full packs, but I await real world reports.

Mostly, it will sit higher than a pack's waist strap. Carry a couple of full packs with the Ribz and let us know where the Ribz sits and how the pack straps run comfortably. Something for nothing [Ribz cam reportedly be used with no pack interference] always makes me wonder. Thanks.
