7X,

If you have your heart set on a Coyote from Fishpond, I can see if my wife wants to sell her's. As a tier of Atlantic Salmon flies, she outgrew it quickly and it's in almost new condition. Let me know.

John,

Fishpond does make some durable products. I, too, am using a chest pack from Fishpond. Tough as a railroad spike. Well thought out and well made.
