I was asked by VestPacs nor cal rep Monty Roach If I was interested in testing this new fishing pack/vest. After reviewing it online and finally getting a sample to test, I was very impressed with the ideas this new company offered the fly angler. I have worn a regular fishing vest since I started fly fishing and there is always one thing about them, with all those pockets your sure to fill them up creating a heavy burden to carry around. The VestPac keeps it simple, and it's made in Jackson Hole Wyoming, USA, and not over seas.
The DriftPac Ultimate includes:
-Neoprene and 3-D Airmesh construction.
-Four pockets.
-Fold-down Velcro pouch.
-5 grommets for attaching tools and supplies.
-Three retractors.
-One T-tippet holder.
-Two fly boxes and two ripple foam fly holders with Velcro bottoms.
-Velcro starter kit to add to your own fly boxes.
-Hydration panel with reservoir.
The VestPac can be worn under your clothes if the weather is wet and cold out, or on the outside when temps are hot. It is so comfortable and it weighs 23.9 Ounces, is 15 inches long by 11 inches wide by 1 inches deep.
This short video explains the advantages of using the DriftPac fishing vest. There is also a velcro patch you can place on your drift boat or other water craft that the tackle bag hooks onto making all your flies readily available.
I'm so stoked on my DriftPac! It's easy to use, lightweight, and fully functional! I will be testing this out for the entire fishing season and will give an honest opinion then, so check back in around fall for a follow up post.
