I walked with this bag for 2 days inside of the recent fly fishing show at the convention center in Somerset, NJ and was thoroughly pleased with the Westwater, both in terms of comfort and ease of navigating throughout the bag to find my belongings. Fishpond has really stepped things up on the design front and the Westwater series is a great example of the companies willingness to break the mold, take some chances and create unique items for today’s myriad of hybrid lifestyles. If you find yourself bouncing back and forth between your favorite piece of water and the concrete jungle, then the Westwater Messenger maybe the perfect fit for you. ($139.95)
