Umpqua Overlook 500 ZS2 Chest/Pack Kit

This Umpqua chest pack is the cat’s meow! Super comfortable and distributes the load well. A little warm on the back but the least of my worries. Try it, you’ll love it and ditch your old vest.

I have used vest style packs for 35 years... I decided to try this and Im not disappointed! I researched other packs and this has everything you could want... Others reviews found this difficult to walk around boulders because the front of the pack sticks out a little... If you are big in the belly then this is correct. You would have to move this a little to the left or right to see whats in front of you.. Great space, great value and very comfortable packs... But it ... you will not be disappointed.

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

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

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.

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!

Great product. Love the zero sweep and the way it contours to my body. I have the fishpond chestpack too and really like it and have used it for well over a year. But have to say I’m a converted chestpacker to this Umpqua. Back net holder performs much better and the extra back storage really helps hold my extra Korker soles and rain jacket with a lot of room to spare. Larger main storage on the front of the pack is better than the FP. I still like FP’s magnetic closure for easy, quick access and holding bugs, but the Umpqua has an overall better fit. Also the Umpqua has much better and more convenient connections points for tools. Both are great products but the Umpqua for me edges past the FP.

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

Everything I expect, everything fits, should have purchased earlier

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.
