AC ALLEN Fall River Fishing Chest Pack, Fits Up to 2 Tackle/Fly Boxes, 152 Cu in / 2.5 L

Love this little bag I didn't use it to go fishing I used it to carry my camera in when I went kayaking or hiking, zipper quality was amazing, I am short so the size was just perfect for my height the appearance is just stunning very water resistant very lightweight and was very portable, there was so much room for my extra battery and SD cards and there's a lot of pockets , I recommend this for whatever outside activity you want to use it for

So I really like this pack, but it is smallish if used solo. It can hold everything I need gear wise, and 1 or 2 small fly boxes without being uncomfortable. It keeps all the important stuff easily accessible. I do still carry a small backpack for extra flies and my wallet, but I don't really need to go in it. Nice sturdy gear rings to clip on to, including one on the back of your neck for a net to hang.

I'm not a fly fisher-- I'm an entomologist. I was excited about this chest pack because it had the little zip-down shelf pocket and I figured I could use that to write field labels. I wasn't wrong (although it was difficult to zip and unzip, and it didn't zip down to flat like I'd anticipated) but the pack itself was far too thin for my purposes. They list the height and length of the pack, but not its depth. You can fit a tackle box in there (I tried the one I keep for rearing grubs) so don't worry if that's your concern! But if you want to fit a kill jar or large aspirator (like Mike Ferro's Scholar's Aspirator [Hamuli, Volume 11 issue 2, if you're interested!]) I would advise looking elsewhere. I ended up getting a binocular chest pack. TL;DR: it's nice and seems well-made. The neck strap on the one I got was a little prickly, but that seemed to just be a minor sewing defect. It will fit a tackle box, and the little foam thing for sticking flies in seems sturdy. If you want to put thicker things in it, it won't work, unfortunately. Tackle box is about the max depth it'll hold.

comfortable, nice size pockets no worry about not being able to carry enough flies or gear. heavy duty zippers work great. the design of the straps is great, very light weight does not feel like its there at all. holds all gear ease. easy to open and get inside to change flies, functions as should and more. has lasted over twice as long as my old bag.

I purchased the Fall River Chest Pack after returning the Allen Bear Creek pack, which was a bit too small for my needs. The Fall River pack strikes for me the perfect balance between compactness and utility, and I've spent many days wading lakes and rivers with it comfortably strapped to my chest. There are certainly larger packs available, but I find that everything I need other than my lunch fits into this pack and keeps me from feeling overburdened and unbalanced when fishing. I usually have 3 or 4 fly boxes in the main compartment, and 4 or 5 spools of tippet in the zippered front pouch, which has a tippet holder attached. in the other zippered pockets I keep extra leaders, strike indicators and split shot containers. I use the rings on either side of the main pouch to attach hemostat, dry fly oil, and nippers on zingers. My landing net with magnetic release is clipped via carabiner to the big O-ring on the back of the neck strap pad, and when attached helps balance the weight evenly on my shoulders. The waist belt keeps everything from shifting as I move about, and serves as a safety belt for my waders. This is the second Fall River pack I've purchased--I lost the neck strap to the first one when my kayak overturned in a creek and I had it detached. My second pack encountered a sewing problem on the neck strap and Allen Company promptly sent me a new pack. I couldn't be happier with their customer service. If you like to fly fish and travel light, I highly recommend the Allen Fall River Chest Pack.

Awesome pack for the money. Good zippers, nice pockets, lightweight, and mine has gone through multiple seasons with no issues. Fits a ton of gear in it for the size.

Always been a fishing vest guy, but this chest pack is the way to go. Very high quality in the construction and thoughtfulness of where each compart is for retrieving your next fly or leader. I am 6'4" and 300 lbs and it fits comfortably with the adjustable strap. The design and function puts everything right at your finger tips and can be used like a little table right in front of your face for tying on your next fly. I have not dropped it in the water yet or fell into the water, so not 100% sure on if it is waterproof or not.

I just received it a couple days ago. I've not actually used it yet but my first impressions are very good. It appears to be well made. There are no sloppy loose seams. Zippers work effortlessly and smooth. It's a perfect size for me. My previous chest pack was too large. There are just enough attachment points for how I set it up. I have 2 maxima spools and a large fly box in the larger rear compartment. My leaders are there in a back mesh compartment. I found the tippett holder that's sewn into the front compartment useless and a space waster. I cut it out. Its light and comfortable. The neck pad has the same kind of mesh my old pack has and its irritating to my neck. I will attach some kind of more suitable lambs wool padding on top. . So far I'm very pleased. I will report back about durability later this coming summer. What a bargain!!!

I bought its bigger brother but was a little too large and cumbersome so I exchanged it for this model. Sits nicely on my chest, is big enough for what I want to take to the riverside and most importantly doesn't get in the way of my casting.

Semble de bonne construction. Les coutures sont solides. Le temps vas me dire si c'est vraiment un bonne achat

Por el precio que pagué aprovechando el descuento valió la pena porque a su precio regular está sobre valuado, es buen artículo para pesca con mosca.

I purchased this for when I am dogging during the deer and moose hunt. My backpack is overkill and I am not a fan of walking with things in my pant pockets. Keeps everything accessible and easy to get to. I was expecting it to pull on the neck but it’s extremely comfortable. I would recommend this pack to anyone. Hiking hunting or fishing
