anyone beside Looper use a Sling Pack, I've looked at the Orvis one a time or two but never really gave it a good look.
-
I use my Fishpond as a sling pack it's supposedly a chest or fanny pack. I'm surprised Fishpond hasn't come out with one other than satchels

Yes, I like sling packs. I really like Orvis one but I have not bought one yet. I have an older one made by a guy who makes them in Washington State called the Sky Sling Pack or something like that.
-
I use this when I'm hiking/fishing and it's awesome (not made for fly fishing). Heavy waist packs seem to cause me hip pain on long hikes.
Mine is black and I don't use the waist strap. It's also great for just taking along some stuff on hikes.

Not yet. 8) However, FlySouth has had them in stock on and off. Check before you make a special trip to Nashvegas. ;)

This is what i use. it is super light just enough space. Perfect loops to hook quick release net. with a sling pack i also use a lanyard for my tools. Really the sling pack is for all my extra gear.

I like the Orvis just haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Here is another option as well. http://vedavoo.com/shopping/tightlines-sling-pack/
-
I bought a sling pack with every intention to use but after becoming a stay at home dad it turned into my diaper bag. Now that stage is done maybe it will get some use on the water finally 2 years later.
Just from the daily use of it, I like the pack about somewhere between my chest or waist pack. I don't think it will shelf my vest or backpack with my style of fishing.
-
Huge fan of my sling pack. Orvis. Whorvis. :P

I know Fishwest isn't local, but I'll give them a plug. Great shop. I used to go in there when I lived in SLC. Nice place.
-
I've had nothing but stellar service from them, Sam and I stopped by after landing in SLC on our way to Yellowstone.
EVERYTHING in that place had a bar code and was on ebay, something like 8 working their buns off, one full time web guy. Top of the list for a friendly visit.
Fishwest and Cohutta Fly Shop, most other shops should try and emulate them :o
-
Looked at the brick and mortar shops multiple times, no bag, ended up with one in the mail. Took some looking to find one, Tom has since found them everywhere in Oregon.
Never looked at Patagonia gear much, but thanks for putting me in this direction.
I've had it for quite a while and only been out with it twice, CAN NOT FEEL IT ON MY BACK, and it holds a bunch 8)
If you are looking for a shoulder bag, give this one a look.

That's a good looking pack David.
-
If I ever laid my hands on one I'd likely own it. I love the Atom which is close to the same bag with less storage.

USPS delivered one of these to my house yesterday with a return address to Kelso TN..
(http://www.finsandfeathersonline.com/assets/images/uploads/content/sling.jpg)
I put it together this morning and I'm really, really, impressed with the thought that went into engineering this pack. I have no doubt this pack will be with me for several years. I'm really starting to love Patagonia brand products. Not just hype, this stuff performs.
David, I don't know what I can do to thank you for the kindness you've displayed to me and everyone on this board over the years. THANK YOU for the gift!
Keeping this board up and running is never a question considering all the truly great people I've been blessed to get to know and call friend from here. Wanna meet some of the most caring and giving folks in this fishing community look no further then the pages on this board.

Can you get a rain jacket in this pack?
-
Yes . Small light weight rain jacket is no problem.
