Westin W6 Wading Backpack

Westin has built a strong reputation in the European tackle market, and the W6 Wading Backpack is a clear example of why. Designed from the ground up for anglers who wade, it delivers the waterproofing and carrying capacity you need when you're working rivers and streams on foot.

W6 - Built for Wade Fishing

Wade fishing has a long tradition across Germany and Scandinavia. Long hikes to the water mean you need to carry a fair amount of tackle, and once you're wading waist-deep, your pack must be waterproof. The W6 Wading Backpack is built precisely for that purpose. It also holds out perfectly when you stay on the bank in heavy rain - a rucksack for wet conditions, whatever form they take.

This is not a standard hiking rucksack adapted for fishing. Westin has tailored every feature to the needs of anglers. Inside, you'll find a transparent pocket sized for your fishing licence and smartphone. A side-mounted rod holder keeps your rod secure on the move, and there's generous room for tackle boxes and tools. D-rings and additional attachment points give you options for clipping on extra gear. The whole pack comes in an understated grey, is water-repellent as well as waterproof, and sheds dirt with ease. Both the shoulder straps and the back panel are softly padded and fully adjustable, so you can dial in a comfortable fit for a full day on the water.
