Patagonia Backpack vest

This award-winning modular design combines a cool-wearing mesh vest with a fishing-specific, multiuse daypack; a detachable harness allows vest and pack to be used separately. The vest is cut short for deep wading and has a rod holder, accessory D-rings, piggyback tool pockets and reach-across zippered pockets. It also connects to the Stormfront® Pack harness. The pack features a floating baffle internal divider, large external mesh pocket with drainholes, water-resistant zippers, breathable 3-D spacer mesh back panel and shoulder straps, built in rod-tube holder and a mesh water-bottle pocket. Vest pockets and pack are now made from tough polyester (47% recycled) double-weave fabric. Vest sternum strap and pack compression buckles have been upgraded to low-profile Duraflex® Stealth-V buckles for smoother function and easier adjustment.
