Why We Like The Umpqua Overlook ZS2 500 Chest Pack Kit
When we're wading waist deep for trout or summer smallmouth, we like keeping our tackle up high with the Umpqua Overlook ZS2 500 Chest Pack Kit. The low-profile chest pack stores all our fishing essentials without getting in the way of our cast or blocking our view of our feet when we're trying to negotiate tricky terrain or underwater hazards. We also like all of the convenient attachments for our use-all-the-time accessories, such as retractor stations, hemostat stations, foam fly patch, and tippet holder. We can also stash several fly boxes and additional tackle in the two zippered compartments and stretch pockets.

This is a very well made and durable pack. It's a nice size for carrying a good amount a gear without getting loaded down. My problem was I couldn't set it up to be comfortable. I adjusted it as best I could but just couldn't get it to the right position. So I'll be returning it. But, if it fits you well, it should be a really nice pack.
