The Fishpond Stormshadow Waterproof Sling Pack is built for the angler who refuses to let weather dictate their day on the water. Engineered with waterproof recycled fabric, coated YKK AquaGuard® zippers, and a fully integrated TRU Zip waterproof pocket, the Stormshadow keeps your gear — and your essentials — completely protected from rain, spray, and unexpected dunks. This is Fishpond's most weather-ready sling pack yet, and it's designed to perform as hard as you fish.

Fishpond Stormshadow Sling Pack In the Field
Why Experienced Fly Anglers Choose the Stormshadow
Sling packs live and die by their organization, access speed, and durability. The Stormshadow nails all three. The ambidextrous symmetrical design means left- and right-handed casters can both swing the pack forward without fumbling — critical when you're mid-wade and need a fly change fast. The removable foam divider lets you configure the main compartment around your box setup, whether you're running two large Cliff boxes or a mix of slim and standard profiles.
The integrated TRU Zip self-healing waterproof pocket is where your phone, wallet, and keys live — completely sealed from the elements. The cross-body strap adds stability on long hikes to remote water, and the die-cut Hypalon® patches give you a solid platform for zingers, nippers, and forceps right where you need them.
