Rising Flask Pack

[David Darnell]

I’ve got a couple of their pliers and like the quality.

I’ve owned about every pack, vest known to man over the years, this one has caught my eye over the last year or more, only problem my closest fly shop is 101 miles away and he does stock it.

Do we have any users on this site ?

I carried their products for a time, but never got any real traction with them, I may be the only one that still wears one of their rain coats. The pack looks nicely designed, and must have caught the eye of a few people at the show(although I’ve never fully trusted the awards process), I personally don’t like anything on my chest but a lanyard, even my Goretzen gets in the way sometimes.
It does look useful for the raft next to the rowing seat.

The awards process is legit in the sense that no one can stuff the ballot box, but you absolutely need to keep in mind who the voters are. Typically the attendees are either exhibitors who all vote for their own products or shop owners who obviously have a vested interest in voting for the stuff they sell. To me, it’s always interesting when one of the smaller players, who presumably does not bring the “voting bloc” with them to the event, wins an award. That signifies real appreciation, because people are in a sense are voting against their own pocketbooks.

Actually exhibitors (manufacturers) are not allowed to vote.

But you’re right about the shop owners.

Fair point.
