Patagonia StormFront Packs
Patagonia Stormfront Pack Review
Do you have expensive gear you need to protect from the elements……..then check these two Patagonia Stormfront Packs out.
The Patagonia Stormfront Packs include both the Stormfront Back Pack and the Stormfront Hip Pack. They are both completely waterproof and made of a bullet proof 840-denier nylon double-coat with a polyurethane film. I recently took all my expensive camera gear in the Stormfront Back Pack to Alaska where it rained constantly. My gear stayed completely dry. There is even a couple straps on the front of the packs designed to hold a rod tube, but it also holds a camera tripod very well.
The Patagonia Stormfront Pack is a ultra-simple waterproof pack and is now made even tougher. The Patagonia Stromfront Pack is made with 840-denier double polyurethane-coated nylon fabric and features a revolutionary easy-to-use waterproof zipper and internal, custom-fit padded gear case with hook-and-loop dividers. It’s comfortably supported by a removable shoulder-strap harness and 3-D spacer-mesh back panel. Take the harness off and you have the perfect dry boat bag. A glued-in zippered mesh pocket keeps valuables organized and extra dry, while the external mesh pocket holds your hydration reservoir. The harness system includes tool attachment and storage capabilities plus, as an added bonus, it’s compatible with the vest portion of our Pack Vest.

The Patagonia Stormfront Hip Pack is fully welded, waterproof hip pod stands up to foul weather with burly 100% nylon double-coat, a polyurethane film and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. Salt water? No sweat. The zipper resists both water and corrosion. There is also a quick-drying, moisture wicking 3D-spacer-mesh back panel for comfort and air circulation. Inside you find three handy, zippered security pockets to secure and protect keys, wallet and accessories. And when you aren’t on foot, the top handle makes the Stormfront an ideal small boat bag.Details

I give the Patagonia Stormfront Packs a 5 STAR rating. I don’t know of another type of pack that I would rather put my camera gear in other than a Pelican padded hard side case.
