A chest pack, which can be translated as "chest bag", is a popular alternative to the traditional fishing vest for fly fishermen, but also for trout and shore predators. When choosing between a fishing vest and a chest pack, the latter firstly allows you to choose the clothes or jackets you wish to wear, and all you have to do is add this bag. It is also very suitable for wading, as it is very high compared to the water level.
Usefulness of a Chest Pack in Fishing
1. Compact Storage : Allows you to store essential equipment in a compact and organized way, and it is possible to put one or two lure box(es).
2. Accessibility : Tools and accessories are easily accessible in front of you.
3. Comfort and Freedom of Movement : Less bulky than a traditional vest, offering more freedom of movement, particularly useful for wading or fly fishing.
4. Weight Distribution : The weight is balanced on the front, which can be more comfortable for some people.
