The Essential Frontier TechPack

fron·tier n.

1.     A region just beyond or at the edge of a settled area.

2.     An undeveloped area or field for discovery or research.

[Middle English frountier, from Old French frontier, from front, forehead, front; see front.]

The Frontier TechPack is exactly that, a region just beyond or at the edge of a settled area.  Whilst fishing waistcoats have been around for many years, The Essential Fly Frontier TechPack is evolutionary and revolutionary.  Companies manufacturing technical rucksack waistcoats like Fishpond are evolving new rucksacks. The Essential Frontier TechPack is at the leading edge of these rucksacks, filled with more technology and gadgets than any technical rucksack / waistcoat on the market .......... at a better price!

The Frontier TechPack can be worn as a complete Techpack or seperated into components: waistcoat, rucksack or even as simple waist-bags on your belt or any combination. This is the ultimate technical rucksack waistcoat available in the market today. It allows you to take additional fishing equipment and even a flask, sandwiches or additional fishing accessories. A spare rod can be carried in the rod holder with compression straps. Once at the river the waistcoat can be split into a lightweight fishing waistcoat with the minimum of fishing equipment for that lightweight hunting of your that elusive brownie! The waistcoat has removable soft pockets that can be unzipped and placed on your belt. With additional soft-pockets available this is the ultimate technical waistcoat.

The Rucksack Waistcoat comprises of 2 major components - the Rucksack and Waistcoat. They are both made from first grade 1680D polyester for the main body and 420 rip stop fabric with padded air mesh lining. The waistcoat even has a led torch to help in that twilight zone!

Received my order yesterday and am absolutely delighted. Have already been in trouble from my wife for wandering around the house with the tech pack on…. I don’t care though and will continue to do so until the weather improves enough for me to go outside and wear it fishing.

Very impressed with the pack which is extremely comfortable and more than enough space to carry all the gear I need without feeling like a badly loaded pack horse. Adjusts for a perfect fit and doesn’t rattle about (wish I could say that for some of the other vests/rucksacks I’ve bought in my time). Everything is easily accessible, feels very well made and looks great.

Magnetic net release is a delight to use and the best price I’ve ever seen. The surprise gift was a nice touch and will be in regular use.

I’ve put a review of the tech pack on the fly fishing forums as I’d asked on there if anyone who had bought one could feed back but didn’t get any responses. Glad I took the leap of faith and ordered it.

Thanks again for your tremendous service and excellent gear. Looking forward to ordering from you again very soon.

Regards

Peter
