Fishpond StormShadow Fly Fishing Pack Range
Tackle any trip, your way…
We have taken a few trips this year, and its definitely time to update my hip pack.
Lets not beat around the bush, at five foot two and a half inches, my vertical challenges present a few difficulties when it comes to to packs and bags designed primarily for the slightly taller angler!
So, my choice of a hip pack for fishing anywhere from Cocos Island for bones, Tierra Del Fuego for sea run browns and everywhere in between, becomes important.
The evolution of hip packs has come a long way, from the simple zipper on a belt of my first hip pack almost 35 years ago till now, there have been a few changes. One notable change is the access we have to waterproof technical fabrics. This Stormshadow range from Fishpond gives me everything I am looking for in this pack, the recycled waterproof fabric, a couple of bottle holders, pockets and access. The coated zipper, and unparalleled lumbar support all combine to provide a versatile and rugged pack.
An integrated waterproof pocket featuring the TRU Zip zipper guards your valuables against submersion, allowing you to explore with confidence. The top flap of the pack features integrated magnets, holding it open for hassle-free access to your gear. Behind a coated YKK AquaGuard® water-resistant zipper, you'll find a large storage compartment featuring a removable divider, with 8 liters of storage space for all the fly boxes and accessories you'll need. Integrated water bottle holders, exterior accessory attachment points, a net slot, and hip belt stash pockets round out a platform that allows you to tackle whatever Mother Nature throws your way.
