Thumbs Up to Syncpack Frontpack System - Boulder, Colorado, USA

What an amazing thing the internet is.  We really do live in a global village.  Syncpack Frontpack Systems is a company in the USA who developed this nifty frontpack which makes your life much easier when hiking.  It spreads the weight that you carry which have many benefits, but the best feature for me is the fact that I can have my snacks, water, important documents, camera etc. close by, dont need to remove my backpack to get to something.

Syncpack has pledged their support in providing me with a frontpack system - Thank You Syncpack!!!.  I have searched far and wide here in South Africa but could not get the product or get hold of anything similar.  I will be reporting back on the Syncpack system so watch this space if you want to know more.

The innovative syncpack™ frontpack system:

• mounts on any backpack. The syncpack quick-release connectors strap onto the hip belt and shoulder straps of your backpack so you can attach and remove the frontpack in a "snap".

• makes a heavy load feel dramatically lighter and more comfortable. The patent-pending syncpack frame counterbalances the backward pull of your backpack and restores your natural upright body posture. The syncpack system reduces the strain on your shoulders, back, and abdominal muscles so you can go farther, go faster, and feel better at the end of the day.

• provides on-the-move access to frequently used gear. You don't need to stop and take off your backpack to reach your camera, map, sunscreen, snack, water, etc.

Maybe one of our outdoor stores can start importing this product.

Update next week after all travellig documents e.g. schengen visa, uk visa etc. has been sorted out.

In the meantime
Buen Camino to all my fellow life travellers. .
