Fishpond Upstream Tech Vest
The Fishpond Upstream Tech Vest has been manufactured with the environment in mind and is made from completely recycled nylon waste, such as old fishing nets or carpets. The Fishpond Upstream Tech Vest is the first vest on the market with a back-integrated landing net slot that lets you stow your landing net safely and securely - no more wobbling and constantly rocking landing nets.
Plus many more, additional and high quality features. With 14 internal and external compartments, including two front pockets, each of which can hold up to 4 large fly boxes, this vest allows you to carry just about any piece of equipment you want to have close to your body. The main component of the vest is made of ECONYL, regenerated nylon fibres with a light mesh interior. Adjustable, padded shoulder and hip straps and a front zipper ensure a perfect fit when you spend a long day on the water. Tech Vest features include several Hypalon tool attachment points for accessories, a velcro fly patch, a large back pocket for your lunch box, a rain jacket or extra layers of clothing. A D-ring attachment for a landing net quick-release device and an integrated rod holder, for free hands when changing flies or releasing fish, complete this sustainably produced fly vest.

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!
