I wanted to like this pack, but it just didn't do it for me.
The net holster in the back wasn't as easy to get a net in and out of.
There are plastic tabs to help attach the straps to the physical pack and they would poke into my chest, which is annoying and uncomfortable.
Lastly, I wanted a waterproof pack to possibly replace my Umpqua Rock Creek chest pack, but the Umpqua is tough to beat in the way they have their attachment points and small side mesh pockets which minimizes stuff dangling...unfortunately the Fishpond doesn't have that which I knew going into.

Works well, especially with the thunderhead backpack. Would be nice if it had a little more stand alone storage on the back of the harness.

The capacity is just right

Just the right size for a day trip. Net scabbard is a great feature. Only drawback is the pack is a bit hard to get into until you get used to it.

I was between this and their lumbar and after trying both, it’s the clear winner. It’s a great fit and a better price.

Great pack perfect size Carrys an amazing amount of gear in a very small pack. Workmanship superior to any other chest pack I've seem thumbs up

Perfect size and what I needed to fish off of my SUP. Only take what I need and room for my wallet, truck keys and phone and don’t have to worry about falling in since it is submersible. Gave it 4 starts because there is a product design issue that could make it better. Would be better to have the bottom attachments on the chest pack be compatible with the top attachments so you could just attach the pack to a fixed part of a boat or SUP. Would make it perfect at that point, for some reason Fishpond designed where you can only do this on one side of the pack.
