Gear Review: Patagonia Stealth Chest Pack

April 16, 2019 By: Robert Morselli

Patagonia’s newest 3L (3-liter) Stealth Chest Pack is a tiny, tough, light, stowable and highly versatile bag designed for minimalist anglers.

This pack is packed with features: features a main zippered compartment that contains a security pocket along with a large organizational stretch mesh pocket. A molded, drop-down front panel (secondary compartment) creates a flat workspace with additional stretch pockets. Sides are fitted with a Hypalon tab gear keeper, a stretch mesh pocket (floatant/dessicant) and a hemostat keeper. Both neck and waist straps adjust to accommodate layering. The straps also include a management system that prevent excess strap from flapping around and getting in the way.

The pack can be worn high or low, and it’s at home in both fresh and salt water environments.

A small package that’s all about easy access and organization. Features padded front and back panels for content protection. Highly recommended for those disciplined enough to take along the barest of essentials.  Made with tough, 210-denier Cordura 86% nylon/14% polyester ripstop fabric.
