The Brownie Ultralight ("UL") Chestpack is designed to meet a missing need in the fly fishing market for ultralight ("UL") and highly packable chestpacks. Designed for light and extended range fly fishing, the Brownie UL is the most technically advanced and minimilist chestpacks on the market. 
 
The Brownie UL Chestpack is designed around one of our favorite trout - the Brown Trout.  We take a unique approach to blending art and fabric, creating a chestpack with a bit more character.
 
The artwork is crafted using an artificial intelligence (“AI”) engine to mimic the natural patterns of a Brown Trout. A human touch applied to the AI renders creates an original piece of art on each chestpack.
 
The Brown Trout pattern is printed on ultralight translucent Dyneema fabric allowing you to see the art on both sides. The fabric retains its translucent properties and slightly changes appearance when your gear is inside. The rest of the pack is crafted from sailcloth, creating a highly functional, durable, and pack-able chestpack with a utilitarian design.

Key features:
 - Ultralight design weighs 75 grams or 2.6 oz.
 - Magnet closure system
 - Mil-spec webbing and cordage with a titanium waist hook
 - Accommodates two fly boxes, tippet, nippers, float and dry shake
 - Highly packable and crushable for backpacks, bikepacks and horseback

Each Brownie UL Chespack is handmade in small batches in Durango, Colorado USA.

Materials

We craft the Brownie UL Chestpack from the highest quality fabrics not found in your typical fishing gear. Key fabric details:

Front and sides: 1.43oz Dyneema Composite Fabric ("DCF"). DCF is a patented, ultra-lightweight fabric made of flexible non-woven composite laminates which are reinforced with Dyneema® fibers. DFC is 15x strong than steel and provides the highest tear and tensile strength of any competing fabric on a weight-by-weight and thickness basis.

Back and bottom: EPX400 by Challenge Sailcloth. EPX400 is made from 100% recycled polyester with a reinforced “X” pattern weaved into the fabric. Twice as abrasion-resistant as comparable nylon. Waterproof to 200 PSI.

As much as possible, we use recycled, US-made components in the Hermosa Bar Bag.

Compatibility

The Brownie UL Chestpack easily holds two fly boxes, several roles of tippet, shake and other things for a day of fly fishing.
