"Was looking for a solid bag to take with me on the river. I liked the idea of a fully submersible, but I was not excited about the limited pockets. This bag has it all. I can keep things dry in the main section, and other things I can keep one of the many pockets. The bag has enough room for waders, fly boxes, gloves and the rest of the gear you need on the water. I’m a big fan. Thank you, SIMMs"
"Very efficient backpack works well with attached chest pack"
"First voyage with this back was 20 days in Thailand. Carried it pretty much every day. It held up and out performed my expectations. The pockets and mesh pockets are very well designed to hold key gear. The water proof compartment is massive and kept essential gear dry."
"Pockets and space for days. Easily accessible pockets and gear storage areas. Lite Weight, hardly knew it was on my back… Highly Recommended !!!"
"I have not been able to use the Headwaters Backpack yet. The quality and craftsmanship look outstanding. Can't wait to put it to the test."
"The bag is perfect and watertight. I’ve been fly fishing in Alaska for the week and with changing weather it’s great to switch gear."
"Worked perfectly!!! Like it as designed by a fly fisherman !!!"
"This pack is very well organized and perfect for recreation travel and the trail for fly fishing. I used this as my primary carry on with rod and landing net attached with laptop in side pocket a clothing in the middle roll up section on way out to Montana. Then on the trail in Glacier NP hiking. It was perfect! This will be my “go to “ every trip. Love the look too!"
"Hold everything great. Design is awesome. Just now getting on a plane with it"
"CONS: Backpack pad should have had more holes or more breathable like most modern bags, super sweaty material, will prob cut the foam out and punch more holes in this. Side zip is great but the hard 90 angle is a pain to zip one handed when grabbing fly boxes out of the side, wish this zipped easier, gets hung up. Side net spot finally is great, old dry creek pack was a nightmare to land a fish while wearing the bag, this fixes that but also sucks when hiking in, net bangs against your arm the whole time, I had to fasten cord on the back of the pack to hike the net in. PROS: fixes a ton of quams of the other bags on the market, the dry creek one especially. . . . the new features and side panel is huge for actually fishing with this thing. The phone chest pocket is a nice feature, lets be real, most of us are lugging a phone out there and this keeps it high and dry and easily accessible. The waterproof dry pouch is extremely awesome, this whole bag would be a 10/10 but the foam back and straps really should have caught up with how other brands have easily fixed that, with just punching more holes in and using a more breathable mesh, this feels like 10 year old tech there. . . otherwise an almost perfect and fully functional bag!"
