Simms Headwaters Series - Water resistant and functional bags

The Headwaters collection by Simms is something special and sets new standards! It combines waterproof materials and water-resistant zippers with numerous technical features. We took a closer look at the Headwaters family, and together with Stefan Schmid from Fly Fish Europe (FFE), we show you in our videos what makes these packs so unique.

With the bags from Simms' Headwaters series, functionality is at the forefront of fishing! All bags impress with individually designed spacious interiors and numerous external options to organize your tools and accessories. Whether you're heading to the water for a quick session after work or spending a long day at the river: The Headwaters series from Simms offers the perfect model with enough capacity to keep your gear organized and secure.

You can choose between Backpack (28L), Sling Pack (12L), Hip Pack (10L), and Chest Pack (8L). All are made from 100% waterproof material and feature water-resistant zippers that protect your valuable equipment from moisture – a major difference compared to most other fly fishing bags on the market, where the focus is either on waterproofing or functionality. In short: All models from the Headwaters series by Simms combine the best of both worlds, setting a new benchmark!

• Durable and water-repellent 630 Denier High-Density Oxford Nylon fabric

Our Conclusion - Perfectly Combining Form & Function

The Headwaters bags fill the gap between the waterproof product families 'Dry Creek' and 'Dry Creek Z' (with waterproof zippers) and the primarily technical packs from Simms – for example, from the Tributary series. The combination of waterproof outer materials, water-resistant zippers, and a variety of clever, thoughtful features is truly unique, making the Headwaters bags something really special in our eyes.

If you're looking for the perfect solution to store and organize your gear on the water efficiently and neatly, the backpack, sling pack, hip pack, or chest pack from the Headwaters series by Simms are the ideal choice. Not only do form & function align perfectly, but you can also be sure that your valuable equipment will be well-protected from moisture. This is truly unique!
