Fishpond Ridgeline Backpack

First off, Fishpond products are great, I have many products from them and their customer service has been exceptional.
The Ridgeline back pack is just the right size for an extended day hike as it is not too large and not too small to stuff your essentials including extra water, food, clothing and additional gear without the bulk. One of the best parts of this pack is the integration of Fishponds other products. The Stormshadow chest pack connects seamlessly onto the Ridgeline both in front and on the back (in case I don't want to have anything in front of me while hiking in). The only negative I have is the side net slots. They don't hold the nets very securely while bushwacking or longer jaunts so it's best to use the net slot directly on the back. Overall I'm very pleased but then again, Fishpond products never disappoint. Shout out to Dakota Anglers & Outfitters - great people, great inventory and fast shipping.
