Since chest packs were introduced, they have become an extremely popular alternative for the traditional fly fishing vest. Chest packs are lightweight, sleek, look great, and make so much sense. Chest packs force the angler to be more selective and only pack the essential fly fishing items required for shorter fly fishing trips. Chest packs are therefore lighter, and are more comfortable to wear, and suit the minimalistic angler. A fly fishing chest pack also allows the angler to wade into deeper water than a fly fishing vest whilst keeping your fly fishing equipment dry. Popular Fishpond pack models in this category are the the San Juan and Windwalker chest packs.
The compact San Juan Vertical Chest Pack is designed for the minimalist angler. If you don’t need to carry 4 or 5 fly boxes, then this is your tackle pack. Features a zip-down “fly bench” with high-density rippled foam fly page to provide a convenient place to change or store flies. The zippered main compartment holds a fly box and accessories, while a zippered interior pocket provides safe storage for keys and other valuables.

The Windwalker has the capability to mate with other Fishpond Backpacks for a modular system.
