   Good quality product, worn and filled with various things, only gave it for stars cause I find it quite hot. But well made and comfortable otherwise

   I originally bought and returned this vest early this season. Tried out a variety of slings, packs, bags ,etc. in other words really obsessed. Remembering this vest I decided to give it another try. This time I am sticking with it. Solid feeling for a vest. I like the design. When I am on the water things are easy to get to. Pockets are large and zippers are decent. If you run out of space on this vest perhaps you should consider hiring a caddy(-:
   Cons- inner mesh pockets a little loose. I added some velcro. Since vest is made of a solid material its a tad heavy. For me- worth the trade-off. BTW- I have all straps at max titeness. I am 6’1″. Nice fit. If you are short and thin it is possible the vest might be a bit too big. Certainly worth checking out. Oh- great price!
   

3. 4.9 out of 5 stars Verified Buyer – 5 December 2024

   I trout fish, hard, for 6 or 7 weeks a year. I hike in a lot and often travel though woods and brush to get there. Generally at the end of the season I need various repairs done to the 2 vests I carry with me. Not this year! This is a very sturdy and well made vest. A little heavier than the traditional vest but the little bit of extra weight is well worth it. It also has ample, well placed storage with room for more than I care to carry. As all of you fly fishermen know if there is the smallest thing a line can get caught on your leader or tippet will find it, and in this case it is the zippers. The little hook that holds the tab to the zipper is open just enough that the line can slip into it. Not a big deal unless you’re standing up to waist in strong current and the wind is blowing and you are having a bad day anyhow. It only happened to me 8 or 10 times but when it did it was aggravating The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I didn’t have the option to give it 4.9 stars.

   Generally excellent vest with plenty of options in regards storage and placement. Back storage, could do with a bigger zipped compartment but “ok” as can easy carry a pack too.
   Looks to be well made. I’m 110kg 5’11 so some extra winter coat lol but fitted well with plenty of adjustment.

   Just got this today and I am impressed. I have used a Redington traditional vest for years and decided to upgrade. Took me awhile to decide on which one. I am glad it was this one , Seems very well made and lots of room. I am 6′ and 210lbs. I took the straps up all the way and it hangs just right so if you are a large person there is ample room for adjustment. It is heavier than my old vest but should hold up just fine getting through brush and trees. I think there are way more pockets than I will need for fly fishing streams but that is fine always room for more stuff if needed.

   Me being a rather large man…well let’s just say if I grow out my beard people could mistake me for Sasquatch while fishing. 6’9″ 315. I am very skeptical on buying things online for fit reasons but this thing fits! I am sure it would fit someone who is 5’9″ 150 as well. It is highly adjustable. It is made out of good sturdy material, has good zippers and plenty of storage. The storage is the perfect amount, it is not overwhelming to the point where you would forget where you put something but has enough storage to get you through a long day of fishing. The pads that hold your flies are on Velcro and can be moved from the outside of the vest to the inside of the small pockets on the front. I put two fly boxes and all my gear in the vest and there is still room for much more. It isn’t bulky and can be adjusted to a snug fit as to not get in the way of casting. I originally tried on a fishpond vest and did not want to pay the $190 but this one is almost exactly the same and feels the same while wearing. I am very impressed, it is well worth the money, I would highly recommend it to anyone.
