The Thunderhead Submersible Backpack is one of Fishpond’s toughest pack systems, designed for anglers fishing in wet or unpredictable conditions. Built from rugged 900D TPU-coated NewStream fabric and sealed with a TRU Zip waterproof closure, the pack keeps everything inside completely dry, even if the pack ends up underwater.
With a 28-litre capacity, there’s plenty of room for fly boxes, camera gear, spare clothing and food for a full day on the water. The moulded back panel, padded shoulder straps and supportive hip belt make it comfortable for longer walks into rivers or lakes, while multiple attachment points allow you to add nets, tools and accessories.
Whether you’re wading the flats all day in Cocos Keeling, spending a full day hiking and fishing in New Zealand backcountry, or pushing through thick riverbank scrub on a Victorian trout stream, the Thunderhead keeps your gear dry and protected.
Who is this pack for?
Anglers who fish in serious conditions. If you regularly wade deep, fish in heavy rain, or hike into remote water where a normal backpack won’t cut it, the Thunderhead is a great waterproof option.
It’s ideal for river anglers, lake fishers carrying camera gear, or anyone who wants a pack that can handle rough conditions while keeping everything inside bone dry.
