Great While It Lasted

Use it in salt water over 100 nights a year. Main compartment was remarkably waterproof for 2 seasons so much so that if the water rose higher than the bag i would float. It now slowly leaks when submerged despite me routinely lubricating the seal. Once saltwater gets in you have to clean everything stored inside the bag plus the bag itself so not really worth using anymore. Additionally the outside pocket zipper corroded after a year of use. The pocket is now stuck shut. Overall I like the design, the straps keep it in place when casting a surf rod and liked being able to slide it to in front of me to access the contents without taking it off. Unfortunately it didn't hold up which is what I expect when spending extra on Simms.

Mu Go To In Fringe Weather Especiially!

Good waterproofing. once you get used to the straps you can dial in a system of how you best want to sling and swing it. could use an additional set of mesh pockets opposite the others inside. Keep use the included lube for the zip closure if it gets dry over time. I use the lanyard attachments for my large net and my plier/forceps rig.

I used it on my recent fishing trip to Christmas Island and lived it

Keeps Essentials Dry

Use it alot where where deeper wading is a must especially salt water

Super Inconvenient And Annoying To Use

Zipper is hard as hell to open, super inconvenient to use as a guide
