The Simms Headwaters Chest Pack is the ideal solution for demanding fly fishers who prioritize functionality and comfort. This thoughtfully designed system, made from durable, water-resistant materials, offers numerous practical features to make fishing on the water easier and more efficient.
The pack is crafted from high-density 630-denier Oxford nylon with TPU and PU coatings, complemented by water-resistant YKK Aquaguard zippers for protection even in harsh weather conditions. It features a main compartment with an integrated divider and a compression-molded workstation with a fly patch, ideal for quick fly changes. A magnetic closure slip pocket and an additional zippered compartment with a key clip provide secure storage options. The retractor docking station for tools and a stretch mesh pocket for floatant further enhance the thoughtful design.
The back panel accommodates a hydration system and offers space for an additional clothing layer. Thanks to a net holder slot and a D-ring, the pack can be used in various versatile ways by the water. A standout feature is the removable back panel, which is compatible with all Simms waders as well as the Headwaters Backpack. A stowable securing strap provides extra stability when used with waders or a backpack.
