Simms Headwaters Chest Pack

Designed for anglers who demand performance, adaptability, and access on the water, the Simms Headwaters Chest Pack puts fishing functionality front and center. Built from rugged, water-resistant 630D High-Density Oxford Nylon, this fly fishing chest pack organizes and protects your gear while keeping everything within reach — from flies and tools to hydration and spare layers.

The Headwaters Chest Pack combines a fully featured front chest pack with a simplified, removable back storage compartment. The back compartment offers hydration compatibility, room for an extra layer, and an integrated net holder slot with D-ring attachment. The chest pack’s compression-molded workstation with a built-in fly patch makes rigging fast and efficient, while magnetic drop-in pockets, zippered compartments, and internal dividers keep your gear secure and organized.

For maximum versatility, the back compartment detaches completely, allowing the chest pack to connect directly to any Simms waders or the Headwaters Backpack. The system also includes a deployable webbing strap to secure the pack around your body when worn independently. Whether hiking between runs or working a drift, the Simms Headwaters Chest Pack delivers premium organization, protection, and comfort for serious fly anglers.
