Umpqua Ledges ZS 650 Waist Pack

The Umpqua Ledges ZS 650 Waist Pack (often listed as ZS2 Ledges 650) is a high-capacity, highly organized fly-fishing waist pack built for serious anglers who want substantial storage without sacrificing comfort or mobility. Featuring Umpqua's innovative ZeroSweep™ (ZS2) design, it minimizes line snags with closed-foot zippers, recessed tool ports, and thoughtful placement of accessories—ideal for wading, boat fishing, or long days on the river.

Key specs include:

• Capacity: 650 cubic inches (~10.7 liters) — ample for a full day's gear
• Main compartment: Large, weather-resistant primary pocket with collapsible dividers; easily holds 4 standard fly boxes, layers, lunch, and more
• Front organization: Two zippered stretch-mesh pockets for additional boxes or accessories, plus a dedicated hemostat/tool sheath for blind access
• ZeroSweep™ features: 2 retractor stations with Hypalon bands, ZS foam fly patch station, ZS cord tippet holder (stowable), key clip, and 3 Molle modular attachment points for add-ons (e.g., water bottle holder included, floatant holders, net holder)
• Comfort & carry: Stiff, padded back panel with ventilated suspended design; well-padded, load-bearing waist belt for all-day comfort and easy rotation; removable padded shoulder strap for sling-style carry
• Additional perks: Integrated net slot between back panel and body, two zippered waist-belt pockets, rain jacket straps, exterior tippet pockets, and durable 420D nylon with ballistic reinforcements in high-wear areas

Anglers praise its thoughtful layout, snag-free design (especially for two-handed casting), excellent weight distribution, and versatility—perfect for carrying multiple fly boxes, tools, and essentials while keeping the front clean for casting freedom. The stiff back and padded belt make it comfortable even when fully loaded, and the ZS2 system keeps tools secure and out of the way.

A rugged, feature-packed waist pack—optimized for organization, comfort, and zero line tangles on demanding days.
