Patagonia Stealth Hip Pack

Patagonia Stealth Hip Pack

Equally at home on high-country trout streams and endless flats, not to mention cruising the beach break, the versatile, minimalist Stealth Hip Pack from Patagonia carries the goods for the true less-is-more angler. Made from tough, highly water-resistant 840-denier coated ballistics nylon, this bag protects and organizes everything you need.

And for long slogs off the beaten path, the air mesh back panel and belt provide comfort and ventilation.

upgraded, it's now better than ever
I've been fishing. So I have owned several Patagonia's fishing packs. I have been quite satisfied with Patagonia quality in fishing equipment. But this year's packs are way exceptional. The previous chest pack I still own does not stay perfectly on my hip unless I put the sling over my shoulder or neck. The latest can stick on my hip or back so steadily that I do not have to use the sling. The pack looked like a tackle box or something. But it turned out to be a perfect fishing bag for quick access and systematic organization. I love this bag. Only drawback is that this bag seems to used only for fishing as it has the fishing logo on the front unlike the last one which you can use for both fishing and some other outdoor activity or strolling on the beach or street. But I have both. So if you have many purposes, buy both as the previous ones seem to be still available.
