Chest/Hip Packs

Chest packs and hip packs are new concepts for storing and carrying all the accessories that the fly fisherman needs during a fishing trip.

They replace the traditional fishing vests and allow for a considerable weight gain, with a view to relieving the upper body, neck, shoulders and back.

One is more mobile at the water's edge and muscle and tendon pain resulting from prolonged carrying of a heavy load on the back is reduced or even eliminated.

The major brands we offer have worked hard to improve and perfect these attributes that have become essential for the fly fisherman, making them lighter, more ergonomic, more functional, more adaptable, not to mention their connectivity with other complementary products such as backpacks.

Our selection includes the best on the market, in waterproof or water-repellent versions, with more or less capacity, pockets, accessory attachment rings, etc.

To be discovered and tried urgently: the new EVA foam check-pack systems that allow you to have a very wide selection of flies and all the essential accessories (tippet materials, leaders, tools, various potions and lotions) on your chest, and to be able to operate hands-free, without hindrance, even in deep wading situations.

Ideal for reservoir fishing and Euro nymphing and, more generally, for fly fishing in fresh water in rivers, lakes and reservoirs.

We offer you the best models on the market from the New Zealand company Smith Creek and the Japanese company C&F Design, which are simply brilliant.

For Saltwater Fly Fishing, where waterproofing is essential, the waterproof belt/hip packs from Guideline, Fishpond and Simms are a must.
