Travis Macy: RIBZ WEAR!

RIBZ WEAR!

I was lucky to catch up with Ribz Wear, a compelling new company, at the Outdoor Retailer Show this winter in Salt Lake City. Specializing in a one-of-a-kind front pack system, Ribz offers a great solution for accessibility to important items when adventure racing, cycling, paddling, fishing, photographing, or hiking.

I plan to use Ribz heavily for long-distance flatwater paddling in adventure races, when quick access to food is a must.
