I like the concept. One thing, the site says, "The use of a front pack repositions a portion of your weight forward..." In my mind, that statement does not give me a good visualization what is actually happening. Obviously, the pack adds weight in front of me.

However, I'm imagining my body weight is actually shifted backward to counteract the front pack. That's how it is when I wear my baby carrier, which holds my baby in front. That's what I would want anyway.

I would like to see a video of somebody snowboarding with this thing. The most comfortable set up for me while snowboarding is no gear besides my essentials (boots, shell, goggles, etc.). Anything extra requires much thought and deliberation. I don't think I'd want to snowboard with this.
