Fishpond Cross-Current Chest Pack
Chest Packs have two essential features for the fly fisherman: they can be worn relatively high on the body, so that they always stay dry when wading in deeper water, and they allow quick and direct access to all the gear you need at the crucial moment.
Fishponds Cross-Current Chest Pack is the perfectly shaped version of such a chest pocket, which convinces with several practical features. Worn like a vest, the front pocket offers two compartments, a spacious main compartment, with zipper and another inner pocket for large fly boxes, and a front pocket with magnetic closure for quick access to flies, tools and accessories needed immediately when fishing. Small slide-in compartments make it easy to organize and keep things tidy.
The back part of the Chest Pack offers a practical insert for the landing net and storage space in a large zipper pocket for e.g. a light rain jacket.
Two small stretch outer pockets and additional options such as a hard foam fly patch and D-ring for attaching tools and accessories are positioned precisely on the Cross-Current Chest Pack in typical Fishpond style. This allows you to carry all your important accessories perfectly organized and prioritized on your body after access, so that you don't have to waste time searching for the right pattern or tippet in the crucial situations on the water.

Established more than 20 years ago, the American manufacturer Fishpond is known for high-quality backpacks, packs and accessories. In fact, all of these products have one thing in common: They combine a practice-oriented design, an outstanding quality and a stylish appearance – exactly what demanding fly fishermen need. Furthermore, Fishpond places great emphasis on sustainability, which leads to eco-friendly production methods and an inspiring company philosophy. Thus, most products are made almost exclusively from recycled materials. In order to meet the high demands of durable fly fishing gear, Fishpond has developed three innovative materials: the so-called Cyclepond, EcoNyl and NewStream. They are made from 100% recycled materials – for example, from old fishing nets or plastic bottles. According to the motto “functionality meets sustainability”, all Fishpond products set completely new standards in many different ways!
