Patagonia Stealth Convertible Vest

Introducing the Patagonia Stealth Convertible Vest, a lightweight and organised vest option that ensures all your tools, accessories and flies are close at hand for when you need them. This is the perfect vest option for the mobile angler looking to be more organised out on the water.

Crafted with sustainability in mind, the lightweight and breathable body fabric is constructed from 100% recycled polyester warp-knitted mesh. This choice not only offers durability but also aligns with Patagonia's commitment to environmental responsibility. Moreover, the contrast fabric utilised in strategic areas is composed of 100% recycled nylon ripstop, featuring a polyurethane (PU) face coating and a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) back coating. This combination not only enhances the vest's resistance to abrasions but also adds a layer of water resistance, making it ideal for those changing conditions.

One of the key highlights of the Patagonia Stealth Convertible Vest is its versatile wear configurations, offering anglers the flexibility they need in the field. This vest is designed to adapt to various situations, allowing it to be worn alone or effortlessly attached to compatible pack fronts. This seamless integration ensures that anglers can customise their setup according to their specific needs and preferences, whether they prefer a streamlined approach or require additional storage capacity for longer excursions. Furthermore, the vest features a vertical-pocket configuration, maximising convenience and organisation. This layout enables easy access to essential gear and accessories, keeping them within reach without impeding movement.

At the front of the vest, you'll find two large fly-box pockets, offering plenty of space to accommodate a variety of fly sizes and quantities, ensuring easy access during fishing sessions. Additionally, the vest features four additional vertical pockets, strategically placed for convenient storage of tools, tippets, and other essentials, allowing for quick retrieval when needed most. Moreover, there's a dedicated floatant pocket designed to keep floatants or other fly treatments within easy reach.

Moving to the back of the vest, anglers will appreciate the mesh zippered pocket, which offers a secure and spacious compartment for storing larger items or personal belongings. This pocket is not only secure but also hydration compatible, allowing anglers to stay hydrated during long days on the water by easily integrating a hydration reservoir. With these thoughtful pocket details, the Patagonia Stealth Convertible Vest ensures that anglers can stay organised and prepared for any fishing adventure, whether it's a quick outing or an all-day excursion.

The Patagonia Stealth Convertible Vest excels in its technical details, catering to the practical needs of anglers while on the water. Featuring a fly patch, this vest offers a convenient and accessible surface for anglers to securely attach their flies, ensuring easy access and quick changes when targeting different species or hatches. Furthermore, the inclusion of a hemostat dock and garage provides a designated spot to safely stow hemostats, ensuring they're readily available for hook removal and fly manipulation without the risk of loss or damage.

Moreover, the vest is equipped with multiple clip and attachment points, allowing anglers to customise their setup by attaching additional accessories such as zingers, retractors, or tippet holders. These versatile attachment points enhance the functionality of the vest, providing anglers with the flexibility to tailor their gear arrangement to suit their individual preferences and fishing style.

The Patagonia Stealth Convertible Vest is available in one size only and comes in a noble grey colouration.
