Jus before going to Patagonia, Field & Fish sent me their new gear for a field test. A hip pack and a back pack, both waterproof. The hip pack is very comfortable and big enough so I can put in 4 fly bowes + little gear as tippets, and small things you bring to the river. it has a front pocket that opens up and allows you to hook big flies and streamers on a pieace of foam. It has straps on the top but I took them off, the line got caught in them several times. The back Pack; very comfortable, I stashed a fleece and a rain jacket in it, but there is not much mmore space left once you do that. I had to cross several rivers and the waters where high, that’s was when I realized I was happy to have them both! Everything was dry although the water was way above the hip pack and the back pack got it’s ass wet, They are both waterproof indeed ! I wouldn’t recomend a long stay under the water though… they are water resistant… Anyways. I love them and they are very affordable regarding similar products on aother brands. They also come as a bundle, perfect Xmas gift for about 130$ ![slideshow]
