After Fishpond received many awards for the first generation of the Switchback system, it would have been easy to sit back, celebrate and call it a day. But that's just not in the Americans' DNA. The re-designed Switchback Belt System 2.0 builds on its predecessor and adds a few new features to its long list of award-winning functions.
Adding extra storage space has never been easier with Fishpond's innovative quick release rail system. Simply remove the Speed Clip, attach a Thunderhead Submersible Pouch, Canyon Creek Chest Pack or other compatible system from Fishpond and you're ready to hit the water. Ambidextrous and equipped with slots for water bottles and Quikshot rod holders, the new Switchback system sets new standards in modularity!
The Switchback Belt System 2.0 from Fishpond is a modular system that has been thought through from A to Z. It combines the advantages of a wading belt with a landing net holder and a waist bag. The pack, with a capacity of 2 litres, can be moved freely on the rail very comfortably, so that the belt, shoulder strap and wading net remain in position. The functional pack has many options both on the inside and on the outside to clearly organise and store tools and important accessories. Many small items can also be attached to the shoulder strap for easy access. In short: a real organisational talent that is extremely comfortable to carry. So you can concentrate fully on your fishing!

Established more than 20 years ago, the American manufacturer Fishpond is known for high-quality backpacks, packs and accessories. In fact, all of these products have one thing in common: They combine a practice-oriented design, an outstanding quality and a stylish appearance – exactly what demanding fly fishermen need. Furthermore, Fishpond places great emphasis on sustainability, which leads to eco-friendly production methods and an inspiring company philosophy. Thus, most products are made almost exclusively from recycled materials. In order to meet the high demands of durable fly fishing gear, Fishpond has developed three innovative materials: the so-called Cyclepond, EcoNyl and NewStream. They are made from 100% recycled materials – for example, from old fishing nets or plastic bottles. According to the motto “functionality meets sustainability”, all Fishpond products set completely new standards in many different ways!
