SALAD BAR PATAGONIA - TECH WEB BELT Not only does this strong and quick-drying polyester belt hold up your pants and open your beers (via the aluminium buckle), but it doubles as an emergency lash strap if you need to tie down your fishing SUP to the roof of your car or use it as tourniquet when you get mauled by a croc.

SIMMS – DRY CREEK DRY BAG *Insert grandpa voice* – “You want LUXURY?! In my day a clean, dry pair of socks was LUXURY!” Gramps may have fought in WW1 and endured trenchfoot, but his point still resonates to this day. Fishing hard and being able to access important things from dry socks, to a towel, your phone, car keys or lunch – and find that they are still as dry as they should be - is a LUXURY. You will know this when things go wrong as they inevitably will one day. With Simms large Dry Creek® Dry Bag you can keep that dry stuff dry. A roll-top, seam-sealed design keeps everything inside safe from the inevitable splashes and spray that come with being in and around water. At 36 litres, it’s big enough to hold a set of waders and boots, and there’s a D-Ring for clipping to a boat or your other gear to keep it from bouncing around. frontierflyfishing.co.za, simmsfishing.com
