The Headwaters Vest offers plenty of storage without sacrificing comfort. Its breathable spacer mesh shoulder panels help distribute the load when carrying multiple fly boxes, while the lightweight mesh lining keeps things comfortable during warmer days on the river.

One of the biggest advantages of a traditional fishing vest is having everything right in front of you. With dedicated pockets for fly boxes, tippet, floatant and other essentials, there's no need to constantly swing a pack around or take it off to find what you need. The magnetic chest pockets are particularly handy for items you reach for regularly.

The large rear pocket provides additional space for a lightweight rain jacket, lunch or water bottle, making the Headwaters a practical option for full days exploring rivers away from the car.

Who is this for?

Flyfishers who prefer the convenience of a traditional fishing vest over a hip pack or sling pack.
