Reviews
Chest pack
"Good pack, have a hard time getting the net in the net holder in the back. But this seems to be the problem with any pack on the market right now."
Great upgrade from old tributary chest pack
"Love it! Strap harness is a big upgrade. It holds all I need for a day of fishing. Much lower profile than older model - never gets in the way. I use it everyday on the river and couldn’t be happier. JC, Ketchum Idaho"
Great Pack but needs a vertical rod tube holder
"Used this pack for the last few years, works great for backcountry fishing when I'm trying to go minimalist. I only wish they would put some sort of strapping on the back so you can carry your rod tube. lots of storage space along with water bottle / bear spray holder."
Magnets, not zippers.
"Magnets, not zippers. Always magnets over zippers. Think the old William Joseph Confluence Pack. Allows for fast one handed operation, secure snap closure, no failing/stuck zippers."
Lightweight and versatile
"Great for scouting and fishing light. Also doubles as my duck hunting vest."
Quality for the minimalist
"Well made for a quick day trip wading or in a kayak"
Tributary hybrid pack
"I wanted a more snug, comfortable and convenient wading system that stayed dry and didn't impede my casting. This is for bay wade fishing. I found some boxes that will fit the pouches and store soft plastics, jig heads and hard baits along with some additional terminal tackle. Smaller than I'm used to but it worked great last weekend for three full days. My partners were eyeing my setup. I'm the only person I've seen that has gone to this system. Maybe a slightly larger platform would be better, will let you know."
Solid pack with one frustrating design miss.
"Solid pack with one frustrating design miss. This pack nails the size. It hits that sweet spot between minimalist and practical. . . it's small enough to force you to pack intentionally, but roomy enough to carry everything you actually need on the water. That said, it’s missing a key detail that would’ve easily made it a 5-star piece: usable attachment points. Right now, it only has one small attachment on the left shoulder strap, but anything clipped there ends up awkwardly perched on top of your shoulder. It’s not functional, and honestly feels like an afterthought. So, I have my nippers and floatant attached to a zipper pull, which is definitely not idea, and my forceps clipped to a strap. If the design included a couple well-placed D-rings or loops for essentials like forceps, floatant, or nippers, this would be a near-perfect setup. To the folks behind this pack. . . if you're reading, I'd genuinely love to swap this for an improved version."
Great product with plenty of space
"After downsizing from a vest to a sling pack, I felt like I wanted something just a little smaller and this chest pack was perfect. Also great to have everything easily accessible in front of me at all times!"
