Re: Chest pack preference
personally, I prefer a fanny pack to a chest pack...I just slide it around when I need to get into it and slide it back around to get it out of my way when casting. plus, mine's got two nice sized bottle holders...

Re: Chest pack preference
My choice remains the vest from 'Stormy Seas.' No, it doesn't have a lot of pockets;;; that is a 'good thing!' 8)
Re: Chest pack preference
I can't see where I'm going to step with a chest pack. This is troublesome when hiking in through some woods with underbrush or a rocky path. I like a vest or a shoulder bag.
Re: Chest pack preference
I have a Fishpond chest pack. It can be worn as a chest pack or a fanny pack. I do not like it as a chest pack. It seems to get in the way when I cast. I use it as a fanny pack for the salt water most of the time.
Re: Chest pack preference
My sons and I all use Fishpond bags. We can rig them as chest packs if needed, but much prefer to use them as shoulder bags. They are easily flipped around an ride on the small of our back or hip and are out of the way when wading or moving through brush.
It's been years since I've been able to see my feet, and having yet another 4 or 6 inches riding out front doesn't help me avoid obstacles any better!
Re: Chest pack preference
i have the fishpond windwalker and love it, seeing as you are walking is overrated you must use the force :lol:
Re: Chest pack preference
These people aren't sponsors so forgive if I'm stepping on toes. I saw this Tulli Chest pack while surfing. It's like a chest pack/vest.

Re: Chest pack preference
I use a Wright & McGill compact size. Can't recall the last time I used a full vest. The only other way I wade is a box in the pocket. Sure saves on the shoulders/neck. My .02
