Why We Love the Fishpond Firehole 26L Backpack

When it comes to hiking and fly fishing in remote areas, the Fishpond Firehole 26L Backpack is our go-to choice. It is designed with lightweight foam shoulder straps, a molded back panel, an adjustable sternum strap, and a hip belt for ultimate comfort and support. Plus, it comes packed with angler-friendly features.

What sets this backpack apart are the side net holsters and the stowable Hypalon mat in the bottom compartment. The mat can be unfolded to create a drainable pouch perfect for carrying wet waders or wading boots outside the pack, keeping the rest of your gear dry. Additionally, the Firehole easily attaches to other Fishpond chest packs like the Thunderhead Chest Pack, Sagebrush Pro Mesh Vest, Canyon Creek Chest Pack, and Cross-Current Chest Pack using the integrated attachment slots on the shoulder straps and bottom of the frame.

Key Features:

• 26-liter capacity ideal for day trips
• Oversized zipper for easy main compartment access
• 4-way attachment points for lariat gear straps on the sides
• External pockets on the frame and hip belt for quick access
• Integrated net slots and bottle holders on both sides
• Hydration-compatible with top tube exit for hands-free drinking
• Stowable external pouch for convenient wader and wading boot storage
