The Orvis Company has been a mainstay in the fly fishing industry for years, providing anglers with the necessary gear to improve their time spent on the water. Sling, chest, and hip packs are the future in the industry due to their compact and versatile nature. Amid the pandemic scare, Orvis is set to deliver new, never before seen designs and features with their 2021 line up.
The 2021 line up includes new features such as the patent-pending Tippet Whippet and a recessed docking station in each pack. Larger packs include a Fat Lip net storage pocket for secure storage. All packs are constructed with 600D CORDURA ECO polyester fabric which is made of 100% recycled material. The interior design is lined with 200D polyester which also uses recycled materials. Sustainability is a key motive for Orvis and that initiative is highly reflected in the production of the 2021 line.
