You love your fly fishing vest, because the most important tools and flies are quickly at hand for you, but you are missing a large storage compartment for fly cans, a rain jacket or something to drink - then the Techpack from Fishpond is just right for you! The Fishpond Ridgeline Techpack combines the unbeatable functionality of a vest with the storage space of a backpack - it doesn't get any better than that.
The backpack of the Techpack offers you, in addition to the 15 liters of capacity, many ways to attach retractor, pliers and other tools to the well-known Fishpond Hypalon. Two mesh pockets on both sides of the backpack also provide space for enough drinks for the whole day, which so far have not found a place in the vest. In addition, a landing net can not only be attached to the existing D-ring on the backpack with a magnet and securing strap, but also, in the specially provided tabs on both sides of the Tachpack. The tabs give you the opportunity to stow the landing net with handle first, so that this is always within reach and not dangling out of reach on the backpack.
The vest of the Techpacks of Fishpond is really packed to the roof with features. There are various ways to attach pliers, holders for swimming preparations and retractor. The wide range of mounting options gives you the chance to customize your techpack and place your accessories and tools exactly where you want them. The air-permeable mesh vest also has 4 larger pockets for fly tins and other accessories that must not get lost and must be safely stowed behind a zipper. A small but extremely cool highlight on the vest is for us the integrated rod holder! Here, the rod can be quickly attached to the vest with just one hand, for example, if you are standing in the middle of the river and need to release a hook, or if you want to hold the fish with both hands for a souvenir photo. And should the vest once not be needed, because you can use the backpack perhaps also in everyday life, then this can of course be dismantled, so that the 15 liter backpack is available to you alone - was really thought of everything.

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!
