When I first got this had reservations -- seemed bulky and heavy. However, after 2 years of use (50+ times per year), it looks like new and performs flawlessly. The neck and shoulder construction makes wearing the vest extremely comfortable, something lacking in previous vests and the lumbar support makes the vest seem light. No more sore neck or back after a day on the streams. Plenty of storage pockets. It is just the ticket for fly fishing in comfort. This is one great value!
I just recieved my Vest Pack and feel like I got a great deal! IT is much better looking in person and has all the versatility anyone could expect....I really like the two outer mesh pockets, perfect for tippet! This thing is Sweet.....
It's a better pack than fishing vest. Where's the best place to store tippet?? What about split shot and strike indicator. What about a rod keeper? Traditional vests have little pockets and loops for good reason. This vest doesn't have any of them.
I just purchaced this vest and started using it. This vest, by far, is the best vest that I have ever used. My biggest problem that I have with the conventional vests is the uneven weight distribution. Most of the weight is directed on the nape of the neck. This new vest evenly distributes the weight over the shoulders. I can wear this all day and not feel sore or fatigued. Thanks for selling such a great product !!!
