Regardless of the brand, I find them cavernous, comfortable, and most importantly out of the way but accessible when needed.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11043602698517303019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-43630978460761223602014-02-18T17:49:16.401-05:002014-02-18T17:49:16.401-05:00Will,

If the products are good I would buy from them.<br /><br />Kozman,<br /><br />Good to hear from you!!! Your comments on packs are noted. "Ice Out"??? It's snowing here AGAIN and the Swift is a salvation of sorts. The Millers will be ok by May (hopefully).<br /><br />Ron C - "pimping"??? Not really. Just a plug for the local guy. Anyway, I'll decide that.<br /><br />Ken Millers River Flyfisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834066906971183890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-88534485780395404302014-02-18T13:07:54.637-05:002014-02-18T13:07:54.637-05:00I found the fishpond double haul chest/backpack co...I found the fishpond double haul chest/backpack combo as the best compromise for me. It allows me to travel miles into the mountains and not worry about sudden weather. Chest packs, when filled up, can make it hard for you to see your feet...but I usually ditch the backpack part at the bank (or hung in a tree if you got food and in bear country) and wear the chest pack as a sling and it works wonderfully. I've gotten caught in a snowstorm in the middle of the summer more than once out in Montana last summer. This setup has served me well. Hopefully it will be iceout soon for you guys. It will be a few more weeks out here in Montana...but hopefully the fishing will pick up when I'm back in MA visiting in a few weeks.Kozmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14491744727299859379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-60193133484372419632014-02-18T10:50:27.604-05:002014-02-18T10:50:27.604-05:00Ron C - that's the one, I spelled it wrong.

I will be buying a new one soon, and turning this one into my warm water bag (for bass/pike/walleye/sunfish etc). the new one will be a Veedavoo. I had no idea they are literally based 3 miles from my house (they are in Lancaster MA) and they make awesome gear. Sorry for the brand pimping Ken... I cant help it with them being local!<br /><br />WillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-29365145932453315722014-02-17T00:12:00.689-05:002014-02-17T00:12:00.689-05:00I hear you there ken!
