"Light weight, well-made pack. The size of the pack is just right for me (5’10”, 185 lbs). Pack sits mid-high on my chest and has a low enough profile to not interfere with my movements. Storage is adequate although I would have like 1-2 more D-rings on the outside."

Reviews
WORKS VERY WELL ON THE
"WORKS VERY WELL ON THE RIVER WITH A LOT OF FREEDOM"
"Love almost everything about. It barely fit tho around my chest at max strap length. Still happy with product and can wear it."
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."
