Umpqua Overlook 500 ZS2 Chest/Pack Kit

I love everything about this chest pack. It has enough room to carry multiple fly boxes and anything you could need on the river.

Able to fit all my gear and then some. Very comfortable and out of the way while fishing. Easy access to all compartments. Easily able to mount a GoPro on the front with a backstrap mount. Not a huge fan of the built in tippet holder at the bottom, hard to use and see your tippet when it’s underneath… I managed to use some paracord and make my own tippet mount on the top, other than that.. love it!

Nice vest, all features work well and its comfortable. If your hardcore and fly fish in the rain... The zippers are big and water gos right though them. No drain in the bottom so youll have standing water in there too.

This is a great deep water wading pack it rides high enough to keep everything dry and is extremely comfortable. Plenty of room to carry anything and everything you’ll need on the water.

Umpqua hit it out of the park! This pack does everything! Its very comfortable (my number one priority), holds the essentials (and more if you want), and is adaptable. The included add-on backpack is brilliant, if you need the additional storage for a long day on the river, but you can remove it and leave it on the bank if you like. Exceeds my expectations. Ergonomic genius!

I loved this pack but when loaded up it was to heavy for me being 73 with major back problems. Made me sick but had to return. Very sad.

Look no further, this is the best fishing pack around. Amazingly comfortable, enough space for everything you need and then a back pack add on if you need more. I’ve had vests and sling packs but I will never go back after experiencing this chest pack. It is light weight, durable and holds everything I need.

Bought this setup to replace my previous vest-pack. When I fish, I tend to be out on the river most of the day. I need space for all of my gear as well as water, rain jacket, lunch, etc. Im pleased to say this pack fulfils these requirements and then some. Its a solid piece of kit, feels like it should hold up for a while. Theres plenty of room in the chest pack for 3-4 large fly boxes and all the fixins, tippet, leaders, flotant, etc. The tippet holder at the bottom seems a little wonky though. You cant really see it while wearing the pack. The removable back pack has a nice hanging point and hose slot for a water bladder and can fit a few more items besides. The one thing I cant seem to figure out is the net slot on the back pack. I have a traditional short handled net, and although it sits in the slot fine I just cant seem to grab it easily when I need it. I feel like a long handled guide-style net might be better suited for this pack. This could be a me problem though, with some adjustments and practice I might be able to figure it out. Overall great product, I hope this is the last pack I buy for a while.

This chest pack allows easy access to all my fly boxes as well as my net. Plenty of room for everything needed on the stream

Great rig , lots of room and is light enough to wear all day
