The time-tested fishing vest is still the most popular way to organize and carry gear on the river. The comfort and accessibility of a fishing vest is hard to beat, but it's time for a change! Not just to the old vest you've been wearing for years, but also to the out-of-date fit and functionality you've become accustomed to. Fishpond did just that with their new women's specific Upstream Vest.
The adjustable sternum strap, in addition to a lightweight design and 14 interior and exterior gear compartments, can be positioned wherever you want for a completely customizable female fit around the chest and torso.
Fishpond is also changing the way you think about responsible design with the Women's Upstream Tech Vest. This vest redefines the intersection of function and environmental conservation by using regenerated nylon from fishing nets and other discarded waste. So, the next time you go to the river, you won't just bring all of the necessary equipment. You'll also be spreading a message of environmental awareness.
