- chest/hip pack Review by gunnar

Overall After using vests for many years I decided to try a hip pack. This pack is awesome. Everything you need is right there.Should have bought one of these many years ago.(Posted on 2/28/13)
- Very good pack but with one minor problem Review by Alexander Awerin
-
Overall I bought HEADWATERS CHEST / HIP PACK with Headwaters 1/2 Day Pack. The result was a very comfortable combination that suits me all. The bag itself is very comfortable, with lots of pockets and options for carrying.
But, unfortunately, Catch & Release modular systems is poorly thought fixing. This mount is easy to unwind and bolt was lost. Now I have to think how to get to the bag fastening.(Posted on 9/13/12)

Overall I picked this up at my local fly shop on a whim. This thing is awesome! It has plenty of storage and is incredibly comfortable to wear. The biggest advantage I see aside from looking much better than a traditional vest is the ability to visually see everything you have stored while on the water. I like not having to fumble through deep pockets like you have on most vests. Having everything just below eye level makes changing a fly or tying on a new line incredibly efficient. My friends were jealous because Simms even thought to include a mesh drink holder on the side allowing you to stow a cold beverage of your choice. I do wish it had a built in fly box but I believe Simms does make another model with this feature. I would recommend to anyone.(Posted on 7/16/12)

- easy, light, and convienant Review by c. heim - colorado springs, co
-
Overall Got this about two weeks ago and i can truly say it's probably the most convenient pack ive used, i can stick my nalgene in the bottle holder and has enough room and pockets to store all my stuff. i like that i can rotate it around my body to keep it out of the way, and the fly box compartment is a nice hard material. i also like if i am wading in a deep pool i can bring the pack up as a chest pack and keep it out of the water. i also put the simms retractors on it for my nippers and forceps and they work great on there too, just not a fan of the purple cord they have in them, but that has nothing to do with the function or this pack. overall, if you're looking for a small pack that will hold all your goodies, you wont be disappointed.(Posted on 7/16/12)
- Chest/Hip Pack is the Answer Review by Cookie - Battle Ground, WA

Overall After using lanyards and vests in the past, this pack answered all my questions. It holds all I need, it's light, and it swings out of the way easily. I like the fact that I can adjust it quickly based on what I'm wearing and it "fits." It was my favorite Christmas gift from my wife and kids. Now I have to buy my son one so he'll leave mine alone!(Posted on 7/16/12)
