Simms Freestone Hip Pack

The Simms Freestone Hip Pack is a large capacity hip pack that allows the angler to take everything they need on the water, and have it easily accessible. This hip pack is compression molded, meaning it has some rigidity to it and will keep its shape when packing a light or heavy load. The structure of this pack makes opening and closing the zipper very easy, and helps to keep your gear well organized and protected. 

The Simms Freestone Hip Pack has one large compartment, featuring two large stretch mesh pockets, and two smaller stretch mesh pockets, separated by a divider. When you open up the pack, the front of the pack folds down and turns into a nice working station with a large foam fly patch that makes changing flies out on the water very easy, without the worry of dropping your fly in the water. The outside of the pack features webbing on the hip belt for adding Flyweight accessories and things like bear spray, wading staffs, pocket knives, ect. There is a pocket on the left side of the hip belt for quick access items. The Simms Freestone hip pack also features a large velcro patch on the front of the pack, which keeps your tippet, floatant, and dry shake easily accessible with Simms' tippet holder and floatant holster. On the bottom the pack there is a stretchy water bottle pocket, and two compression straps for carrying an extra layer or rain jacket.
