"This is a great pack for hiking into the backcountry and fly fishing. Plenty of room for layers of clothes, water filter, pack stove, food, and gear for the day. Even a place for a hydration bladder. It can expand or sinch down small. The out web can support water bottles or rods. The net holder can also be used to hold bear spray. It is small enough to fit under the seat on a plane."
"I upgraded to this bag from the Flyweight backpack and am so happy. I am a short, small-framed female and an active fly fisher in Montana so I needed something durable with storage and that would fit my small frame. This bag is bigger than what I was looking for and wanting, but it’s adjustable and fits very comfortably. Awesome storage for gear, fly boxes, and some extra room for a water bottle and an extra layer. Simms is my go-to for fly fishing gear and apparel and I’m very pleased with this pack. Highly recommend."
"I absolutely love this pack. The large waterproof compartment is perfect for keeping my electronics safe, while the other pockets do a great job organizing all of the smaller essentials. On longer trips, I can fit all of my camera gear in the waterproof compartment and use the lumbar pouch section to store my fly fishing gear—including my hip pack. That means I don’t have to wear both packs at the same time, which makes hiking and fishing much more comfortable. I can’t say enough good things about this bag. It’s incredibly versatile, well thought out, and has become one of my favorite pieces of gear."
"Was looking for a solid bag to take with me on the river. I liked the idea of a fully submersible, but I was not excited about the limited pockets. This bag has it all. I can keep things dry in the main section, and other things I can keep one of the many pockets. The bag has enough room for waders, fly boxes, gloves and the rest of the gear you need on the water. I’m a big fan. Thank you, SIMMs"
"Very efficient backpack works well with attached chest pack"
"First voyage with this back was 20 days in Thailand. Carried it pretty much every day. It held up and out performed my expectations. The pockets and mesh pockets are very well designed to hold key gear. The water proof compartment is massive and kept essential gear dry."
"Pockets and space for days. Easily accessible pockets and gear storage areas. Lite Weight, hardly knew it was on my back… Highly Recommended !!!"
"I have not been able to use the Headwaters Backpack yet. The quality and craftsmanship look outstanding. Can't wait to put it to the test."
"The bag is perfect and watertight. I’ve been fly fishing in Alaska for the week and with changing weather it’s great to switch gear."
"Worked perfectly!!! Like it as designed by a fly fisherman !!!"
