JMC Hip Pack Hybrid
The JMC Hip Pack Hybrid is a versatile gear-carrying system that combines the convenience of a waist pack with the functionality of a chest pack. Thanks to its innovative hybrid design, it can be worn comfortably around the waist or converted into a chest pack, giving fly anglers the freedom to adapt their setup to changing fishing conditions while keeping essential equipment within immediate reach.
A wide padded waist belt with breathable mesh backing provides excellent support and all-day comfort, while the removable adjustable shoulder strap allows quick conversion between carrying configurations. The spacious main compartment, equipped with a premium YKK® zipper, offers ample room for large fly boxes and accessories, with an internal divider keeping everything neatly organized. An additional zippered compartment between the main and front sections provides secure storage for documents or items used less frequently. The rigid front panel opens wide to reveal two internal mesh pockets, a removable Velcro-mounted fly patch and a large external Velcro panel for drying flies or attaching additional accessories.
