Light and versatile. The Convertible Vest from the Stealth series by Patagonia is an ultimate highlight. This lightweight vest can really hold everything you need for long days on the water. And if that's not enough, combine it with a backpack - for example a Guidewater Backpack or a Disperser Roll Top! Find out how this will work and why we like the Patagonia Stealth Convertible Vest so much in this video.
A versatile classic from Patagonia with a new look: the Stealth Convertible Vest. The latest generation of this legendary item is made from the same lightweight, durable Stealth material that is used for the other bags and backpacks in the series of the same name. What lasts is the clever design of this intelligent carrying system, which can be worn individually or attached to the front of a backpack in the blink of an eye.
Combine it with many backpacks
The Stealth Convertible Vest not only offers a lot of extra storage space, but also a casual fit and solid weight distribution, so you can spend many relaxing hours on the river. We have tested this practical vest for the start of the trout season and are absolutely thrilled with the flexibility and the many options for organising accessories!
Whether worn 'solo' (with the large, airy mesh pocket on the back) or in combination with a backpack, the Stealth Convertible Vest by Patagonia is our tip for anyone who wants clever style and versatility. All season long! Thanks to the lightweight, breathable material, this vest can be used on hot days as well as over a thick insulation jacket or wading jacket on cold, wet days. The size adjustment for a perfect fit and comfortable wearing is very intuitive and allows the Stealth Convertible Vest to be used in any situation and in any weather!
The classic fly patch made of wool on the chest is one of the many little features that we quickly came to love during our test on the water. It was also very important for us to find a centred D-ring on the back, to which a landing net can be attached within easy reach. A must for many fly fishers on the creek and coast!
100% Recycling Material
Last but not least, the fact that this well-designed vest is made from 100% recycled polyester and recycled nylon plays into our overall very positive conclusion. As you would expect from Patagonia, the Stealth Convertible Vest is also made with the highest level of sustainability in mind, which all environmentally conscious fly fishers will appreciate. In short, the Stealth Convertible Vest is an absolute classic in the American brand's range for a reason, but we like its latest version the best so far.
Full mobility when wading and fishing
