Last year I had finally had it with traditional vests. I do a lot of walking and bank fishing, and wanted something less restricting and more comfortable. All of the things I need at hand fit into the front pockets, and the back holds a larger box plus an extra reel, lunch and my raincoat. This is what I got and I don't think I'll ever need another.
