This year however my feet were telling me that wasn't going to be good enough. I don't know if it's my ripe old age of 37 or if I'm just becoming a sissy. Either way, I knew I was going to have to buy some boots that were actually built for the cold winters up here in Northern Minnesota. I wanted a boot that was warm, 100% water proof,...

This past Spring I was asked to try out the Ribz Front Pack from Ribz Wear and do a product review on TFO.
