A few weeks back in a T.F.M. post about Patagonia on their new Swiftcurrent Waders, I mentioned of the small and medium sized Stealth Switch Packs and since then, they have released the larger sling-style Stealth Swift Pack 9L to join the family.
Check these out one by one below by watching each video. They all appear to be winners and I can imagine the smallest pack, priced at less than $60 (!!!), loaded with a few essentials and tossed into the back of the car with a fly rod and reel for those just in case times where you have thirty minutes to kill and there is a pond or stream nearby.

It easily attaches to wader suspenders, belts, other packs or raft straps.It features two zippered stretch pockets on the pack face. A roomy zippered main pocket easily accommodates fly boxes. A zippered pocket on the back of the pack fits your license, tippet spools or other small tools. Additional features include hemo and zinger docks on the sides of the pack, a fly patch on the face, multiple lash points and an embedded magnet on the front of the pack to aid in fly changes and rig rebuilds.
The remarkably versatile Stealth Switch Pack 5L can be worn as a chest pack, hip pack, sling or clipped to other packs for quick access to your gear in any fishing scenario.The Stealth Switch 5L features a large main storage compartment with a zippered pocket and a stretch pocket. The front panel functions as a workstation with four compartments, two floatant sleeves and a fold-out panel with a foam fly patch to speed fly changes. There are multiple exterior lash points, zinger docks and hemo holders. An embedded magnet on the front holds flies or hemos—acting as a much-needed “third hand” during hectic rig changes.
An adaptable and versatile gear carrier, the Stealth Switch Pack 9L is built for left-or right-shoulder wear as a sling. It easily switches to a hip pack in seconds, making your gear access fully customizable.Key organizational features include four interior stretch compartments, an external zip pocket, an innovative shoulder zip pocket, a secure water bottle/gear sleeve and a net sleeve.Embedded magnets on the pack front and the shoulder strap to temporarily hold flies, nippers or hemos for quick fly changes and rig rebuilds.
