Has anybody used or saw the new Soldier Optimized Buttpack (SOB) from Ranger Joes.  From the picture it looks cool, but I don’t know if it is worth $45.  Any reviews would be great. Heres a link if you’re not familiar with it.

I can't figure out how to link directly to the item description, so just go to this link.  Then click on detail for the:

SPEC-OPS.™ S.O.B  Soldier Optimized Butt Pack, that should get you there (its the second item from the bottom)

Seems kinda big (which can be made heavy quite easily) to rest on your hips...

Just my opinion - I haven't done recon in a lot of years, but I'd prefer more of a small ruck that sits on the upper back and shoulders.
