Well thought-out design. Good quality construction. Holds my CamelBak. Two front pockets that zip down and fold out to present a pad to stick my lures sure beats digging in my boxes. Gets me back in the water faster. More pockets for those boxes. Lots of pockets. Adjusted to my XXXL size. Weight rests on my hips with technical backpack system. Good color. Comfortable. The trout were very impressed. Can you tell that I like it? Get yourself one.
I just returned from a 4 day trip on the North Fork of Blackfoot in MT. I used this pack/vest every day to bring water, waders, and wading boots; we usually hiked in 3-5 miles to fish above the trailhead. I was able to attach gear to the D ring on the back or pack water and waders in the back compartment. I will never use a standard fishing vest again. Thanks for making/selling such a great product!
I use this vest for day hikes not fishing. It has plenty of space for a light load and distributes the weight comfortably. There is room in the chest pocket for predator protection if you travel in harms way. It also fits XXL bodies. I highly recommend it.
