Hangs too low
I tried a sling pack, but found that it hangs too low for some of my wading and then I've got a bunch of stuff to dry out at the end of the day.
I went to a chest pack and currently use one by William Joseph. I can adjust the neck strap to allow for deep or shallow wading and I don't seem to have the wet gear problem. Before I get my chest pack wet the water goes over the top of my waders!
Just a thought. Check out the new magnetic closure chest packs from William Joseph at one of your local fly fishing retailers. They are realy slick and I can't wait to wear out my current version in order to try out one of the new ones.
Good Luck!
