The latest generation of the popular Thunderhead Submersible series is made from Fishponds NewStream Fabric. The special feature of this material: it consists of 100% recycled plastic bottles. With this, the family-owned company with headquarters in Colorado seamlessly continues the green image of its predecessors and goes one step further in terms of sustainability. We like that a lot! The 900D TPU-coated NewStream fabric is not only environmentally friendly and extremely durable, but also completely waterproof. This makes this backpack ideal for storing valuable equipment such as cameras, lenses, smartphones and, of course, fishing gear safely and securely. Whether wade fishing, on the boat or belly boat, in fresh- or saltwater - Fishpond's NewStream fabric keeps your gear dry! Of course, the waterproof TRU Zip also contributes to this. This high-quality zip is made in the USA and is particularly easy to open and close and secures the spacious main compartment with a capacity of 28L from getting wet.
Weighing 1.3kg, the Thunderhead Submersible Backpack folds easily when empty to fit into a larger travel bag or suitcase, so you can also use it as a daypack on holiday. The shoulder straps are padded and offer excellent comfort in combination with the hip belt, which can be easily removed. The foam back also contributes to this, as it perfectly adapts to your back. In addition to the voluminous main compartment, the backpack has another front compartment that is also equipped with a waterproof zip to protect sensitive small items. Additional equipment such as spool holders, pliers and much more can be attached to a D-ring or the laminated daisy chain. Inside the backpack is a small zipped pocket that can be quickly removed via Velcro.
The Thunderhead Submersible Backpack can be combined with many accessories from Fishpond, e.g. with a landing net holder, a drink holder or the waterproof Pouch from the Submersible series, which also consists of the latest generation of NewStream Fabric. All in all, the waterproof, environmentally friendly backpack offers a lot of quality and, above all, a lot of safety when it comes to transporting valuable equipment protected from moisture on the body. By the way, this also works in everyday life when you're out and about in the rain. What we also like is the high flexibility with which this backpack can be combined with most chest packs from Fishpond. Combine it with a Fishpond chest pack and you have a clever system for organising all your fishing gear!

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!
