Simms Headwaters Chest Pack
The Simms Headwaters Chest Pack is a premium modular fly fishing carrying system designed for anglers who spend long days on the water and require maximum functionality, storage capacity and intelligent organization. Combining a fully featured chest pack with a removable rear storage compartment, it provides the versatility needed for demanding fishing adventures where every piece of equipment must be easily accessible.
Built from rugged and water-resistant 630D High-Density Oxford Nylon with a TPU-coated front and PU-coated back, the Headwaters Chest Pack is engineered to withstand intensive use in challenging fishing environments. Water-resistant YKK Aquaguard® zippers help protect your gear, while the quick-release system allows the front chest pack module to be easily removed and reattached to Simms waders or the Headwaters Backpack.
The front chest pack features a spacious main compartment with an internal divider for efficient fly box organization. A compression-molded workstation with integrated fly patch provides a convenient platform for changing flies directly on the water. Additional storage includes a magnetic drop-in pocket behind the workstation, a zippered body-side pocket with key clip and a dedicated retractor docking station.
The removable rear storage compartment significantly expands the carrying capacity and is compatible with a hydration reservoir, while offering enough room for an extra layer of clothing or additional equipment. An integrated landing net holder slot and D-ring provide secure net attachment, while additional mesh pockets keep frequently used accessories within easy reach.
