Sling Pack recommendations?
Most recent thread I could find was 2 years old. Looking for recommendations. Wife wants to get me a Christmas gift and this is all I can think of, and I need a bigger pack than the small Orvis pack I have.
Had looked at the Upqua Steamboat previously and looked great, but maybe there’s something newer/better?

As an update. Umpqua ZS sling. This is long winded, but no one reads this anyway. Maybe it will help someone.
Got to fish this past Sunday.
The strap is sliding off of my shoulder. Even with the cross strap tightened, the strap on the shoulder always seems to be slipping off and I’m not sure why. My Orvis sling never did this. I’m not sure why it’s happening. Maybe the angle of the strap isn’t right (for me), or maybe it’s too wide? In other words, too much of the strap is overhanging my shoulder and is slipping down? Maybe a narrower strap would sit better between my shoulder and neck.
I need to put on the Orvis to compare.
As far as a pack, I think the amount of space and pockets, etc is great. Not sure it sits in the best position when swung around, but that part seemed much better than my first time out with it.
If this slipping off the shoulder issue wasn’t happening , I probably wouldn’t even notice the other things I’d improve.
Honestly, as much as I wanted this to work, I think I’m going to look again. It’s not critical, as it works fine and I don’t fish enough....
Ive always been intrigued with Vedavoo, and love the story, but I’d like to be able to get my hands on one before I buy it.
Maybe I’ll look at Simms and FP again, but they didn’t click for me in the store. Will also look at the larger Orvis again.

Snapt...Dude..where were you in December? Let the fugitive have at it. At the very least, I’d like to hear his thoughts. What are yours?
I refuse to Vest...wtf oos?
If I really get introspective, I carry too much shit. I have shitty fly boxes with shit I don’t need and don’t even know wtf I’ve got.
I have smarted up enough to leave my hopper box at home in January so I guess that’s a start.
Snapt, also curious why Umpqua are horrible people?
