Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I agree with the comments made previously, especially the tip to criss-cross straps. I use this pack all the time while float tubing. It easily holds plenty of flies of various sizes, 5-6 tippet spools. a knife, and spare leaders. The only thing I wish was built in would be a retractable zinger, but I've added my own. Highly recommended.

Overall construction and design was good. It is a little larger than what I wanted - not that it is big, but was looking for something small and I am a small person (5'3") female - so it's sometimes it hard to find something small enough for my frame size.
I would recommend it however.
Works well when fishing from a kayak!

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I got tired of carrying a bag and leaving it on the beach while I fished. This pack made me cut down on unnecessary gear. I striper fish and and I can grab it and go. Nice close fit to the chest, crossing the straps, and it holds the bare essential gear, tippet material, nippers, and of course flies. Big enough for streamers and poppers, and a small clip on flashlight. Well worth the price.
I would buy this product again

Durable, Easy To Maintain, Easy To Use, Functional

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I previously had a Columbia chest pack just like this one except where the ripple fly patch is theirs was sheepskin. Dried the flys and held them well without bulk. I always pinch barbs but the sheepskin still held the flys well. Also one problem with the columbia was the zippers always got salt corrosion even though zytel and then could not open them. Eventually had to use pliers to open and tore the pockets. Velcro closure would do the job nicely and eliminate this problem. This is a great chest pack and is all I need for a day trip in the salt water. Also because it lays close to the chest it doesn't block your view as you look down while wading. I also cross the leads behind the back and because the pack is nice and small all weight is kept off the neck. As anyones who has flyfished a lot with a heavy vest day after day knows how the vest cuts across the neck and shoulder muscles and is very uncomfortable.
