Both to your stuff and you. It looks like it would be painful.

Looks to me like you are replacing one item (Camelback daypack) with two items, the Ribz and the Camelback w/o storage.

I think I'll stick with my C'back daypack.


I'm assuming that when falling forward you have a better chance of bracing yourself therefore reducing impact. But still, I'm not keeping sharp objects in it.

As AFL said no airflow backing.

As I said I usually have my dog with me and he's never off leash so it's nice to be able to access the pockets wihtout having to tie him off somewhere so I can get to my pack.

We'll see how it works over the long run.

The straps could be improved.
